#10 LDAP (Active Directory) Authentication

[Sam Gibson]

Patch is for:

20040119.zip

Installation Instructions:

PHP must have been installed with LDAP support, if it's
not you'll get an error. For more information see:
http://us4.php.net/ldap

Unzip files. Run:

$ patch login.php ldap-login.php.patch
$ patch code/config.php ldap-config.php.patch

In code/config.php change

$ldapauth = false; to
$ldapauth = true;

Set $ldaphost to your domain/ldap server. e.g.
foo.cbe.ad.wsu.edu
Set $ldapdom to the domain to login to. e.g. cbe.ad.wsu.edu

Usage:

There are currently some caveats that have to do with
the structure of the program right now, this is kinda
hack-ish. First you have to create all the
users/supporters/admins in the database itself.
However, the only thing that really matters about this
is that their username is the same as their domain
username, and that they're set as the correct class
(user/supporter/admin). Now you should be good to go.
Users should be able to login using their AD or LDAP
account and password.

This rocks.... I was hoping for something like this and was
thinking of writing it myself... Can't wait for the chance
to set this up and see it work.

What version of MyHelpdesk are you using? I've tested this
patch on 20040119 and it works fine. Newer versions could
break the patch.
