| 809 | 1 # LDAP plugin suite for Prosody |
| 2 | |
| 3 The LDAP plugin suite includes an authentication plugin (mod\_auth\_ldap2) and storage plugin | |
| 4 (mod\_storage\_ldap) to query against an LDAP server. It also provides a plugin library (mod\_lib\_ldap) | |
| 5 for accessing an LDAP server to make writing other LDAP-based plugins easier in the future. | |

16 To enable LDAP authentication, set 'authentication' to 'ldap2' in your configuration file. |
| 809 | 17 See also http://prosody.im/doc/authentication. |
| 18 | |
| 19 # LDAP Storage | |
| 20 | |
| 21 LDAP storage is currently read-only, and it only supports rosters and vCards. | |
| 22 | |
| 23 To enable LDAP storage, set 'storage' to 'ldap' in your configuration file. | |
| 24 See also http://prosody.im/doc/storage. | |
| 25 | |
| 26 # LDAP Configuration | |
| 27 | |
| 28 All of the LDAP-specific configuration for the plugin set goes into an 'ldap' section | |
| 29 in the configuration. You must set the 'hostname' field in the 'ldap' section to | |
| 30 your LDAP server's location (a custom port is also accepted, so I guess it's not strictly | |
| 31 a hostname). The 'bind\_dn' and 'bind\_password' are optional if you want to bind as | |
| 32 a specific DN. There should be an example configuration included with this README, so | |
| 33 feel free to consult that. | |
| 34 | |
| 35 ## The user section | |
| 36 | |
| 37 The user section must contain the following keys: | |
| 38 | |
| 39 * basedn - The base DN against which to base your LDAP queries for users. | |
| 40 * filter - An LDAP filter expression that matches users. | |
| 41 * usernamefield - The name of the attribute in an LDAP entry that contains the username. | |
| 42 * namefield - The name of the attribute in an LDAP entry that contains the user's real name. | |
| 43 | |
| 44 ## The groups section | |
| 45 | |
| 46 The LDAP plugin suite has support for grouping (ala mod\_groups), which can be enabled via the groups | |
| 47 section in the ldap section of the configuration file. Currently, you must have at least one group. | |
| 48 The groups section must contain the following keys: | |
| 49 | |
| 50 * basedn - The base DN against which to base your LDAP queries for groups. | |
| 51 * memberfield - The name of the attribute in an LDAP entry that contains a list of a group's members. The contents of this field | |
| 52 must match usernamefield in the user section. | |
| 53 * namefield - The name of the attribute in an LDAP entry that contains the group's name. | |
| 54 | |
| 55 The groups section must contain at least one entry in its array section. Each entry must be a table, with the following keys: | |
| 56 | |
| 57 * name - The name of the group that will be presented in the roster. | |
| 58 * $namefield (whatever namefield is set to is the name) - An attribute pair to match this group against. | |
| 59 * admin (optional) - whether or not this group's members are admins. | |
| 60 | |
| 61 ## The vcard\_format section | |
| 62 | |
| 63 The vcard\_format section is used to generate a vCard given an LDAP entry. See http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0054.html for | |
| 64 more information. The JABBERID field is automatically populated. | |
| 65 | |
| 66 The key/value pairs in this table fall into three categories: | |
| 67 | |
| 68 ### Simple pairs | |
| 69 | |
| 70 Some values in the vcard\_format table are simple key-value pairs, where the key corresponds to a vCard | |
| 71 entry, and the value corresponds to the attribute name in the LDAP entry for the user. The fields that | |
| 72 be configured this way are: | |
| 73 | |
| 74 * displayname - corresponds to FN | |
| 75 * nickname - corresponds to NICKNAME | |
| 76 * birthday - corresponds to BDAY | |
| 77 * mailer - corresponds to MAILER | |
| 78 * timezone - corresponds to TZ | |
| 79 * title - corresponds to TITLE | |
| 80 * role - corresponds to ROLE | |
| 81 * note - corresponds to NOTE | |
| 82 * rev - corresponds to REV | |
| 83 * sortstring - corresponds to SORT-STRING | |
| 84 * uid - corresponds to UID | |
| 85 * url - corresponds to URL | |
| 86 * description - corresponds to DESC | |
| 87 | |
| 88 ### Single-level fields | |
| 89 | |
| 90 These pairs have a table as their values, and the table itself has a series of key value pairs that are translated | |
| 91 similarly to simple pairs. The fields that are configured this way are: | |
| 92 | |
| 93 * name - corresponds to N | |
| 94 * family - corresponds to FAMILY | |
| 95 * given - corresponds toGIVEN | |
| 96 * middle - corresponds toMIDDLE | |
| 97 * prefix - corresponds toPREFIX | |
| 98 * suffix - corresponds toSUFFIX | |
| 99 * photo - corresponds to PHOTO | |
| 100 * type - corresponds to TYPE | |
| 101 * binval - corresponds to BINVAL | |
| 102 * extval - corresponds to EXTVAL | |
| 103 * geo - corresponds to GEO | |
| 104 * lat - corresponds to LAT | |
| 105 * lon - corresponds to LON | |
| 106 * logo - corresponds to LOGO | |
| 107 * type - corresponds to TYPE | |
| 108 * binval - corresponds to BINVAL | |
| 109 * extval - corresponds to EXTVAL | |
| 110 * org - corresponds to ORG | |
| 111 * orgname - corresponds to ORGNAME | |
| 112 * orgunit - corresponds to ORGUNIT | |
| 113 * sound - corresponds to SOUND | |
| 114 * phonetic - corresponds to PHONETIC | |
| 115 * binval - corresponds to BINVAL | |
| 116 * extval - corresponds to EXTVAL | |
| 117 * key - corresponds to KEY | |
| 118 * type - corresponds to TYPE | |
| 119 * cred - corresponds to CRED | |
| 120 | |
| 121 ### Multi-level fields | |
| 122 | |
| 123 These pairs have a table as their values, and each table itself has tables as its values. The nested tables have | |
| 124 the same key-value pairs you're used to, the only difference being that values may have a boolean as their type, which | |
| 125 converts them into an empty XML tag. I recommend looking at the example configuration for clarification. | |
| 126 | |
| 127 * address - ADR | |
| 128 * telephone - TEL | |
| 129 * email - EMAIL | |

| 161 # Missing Features | |
| 162 | |
| 163 This set of plugins is missing a few features, some of which are really just ideas: | |
| 164 | |
| 165 * Implement non-plaintext authentication. | |
| 166 * Use proper LDAP binding (LuaLDAP must be patched with http://prosody.im/patches/lualdap.patch, though) | |
| 167 * Non-hardcoded LDAP groups (derive groups from LDAP queries) | |
| 168 * LDAP-based MUCs (like a private MUC per group, or something) | |
| 169 * This suite of plugins was developed with a POSIX-style setup in mind; YMMV. Patches to work with other setups are welcome! | |
| 1224 | 170 * Add ability for users to change their vCard/passwords/etc from within Prosody |
