LDAP authentication with user binding

Added by João Paulo Ribeiro over 2 years ago

Dear all,

Praises for the team and community.

My network here at Fujitsu (Portugal) has Active Directory and I can't bind anonymously.
They will not give me a read only user and I really don't care.

I did a quick and dirty hack on app/models/auth_source_ldap.rb

  def authenticate(login, password)
    return nil if login.blank? || password.blank?
    attrs = []
    # get user's DN
    # FIXME
    ldap_con = initialize_ldap_con("EUROPE\\#{login}", password)

and then a can bind and connect to LDAP (AD) and provide authentication.

What do you think?
Is it worth to consider this "use case"?

I had actually the same problem, here my proposed patch ... (against 0.9-stable)
(my first hack was the same as yours :)

I tried to make this more general though.
