− | == LDAP for SME Server ==
| + | {{Warning box|If you enable ldap auth, it'll remove all your groups, users, ibay accounts from the unix databases so everything is only in LDAP. |
− | {{Level|Advanced}} | |
| | | |
− | === Description ===
| + | If you attempt to then disable LDAP Authentication this will break everything as you won't have any functioning accounts afterwards, and you will disable LDAP master auth functionality.}} |
− | Adding LDAP authentication to sme was easy.
| |
− | We just needed to add the attribute userPassword to the users entries in the ldap
| |
− | server and keep them in sync with the passwords stored in /etc/shadow.
| |
| | | |
− | For SME 8 only, and for simplicity LDAP remains readonly
| + | LDAP authentication can be enabled (Experimental). Warning - Once enabled it cannot be disabled, so experiment with care. To enable: |
| + | db configuration setprop ldap Authentication enabled |
| | | |
− | This allows the use of SME user's database in other applications
| + | {{Warning box|Do not attempt to disable LDAP Authentication once enabled as it will cause your server to become unuseable.}} |
− | : either local, eg. a LAMP app
| |
− | : on the server itself, eg. egroupware
| |
− | : on the local network, eg. another server in the local network which runs an ERP, but uses SME server user/group database
| |
− | : or even a remote host, eg. a GLPI instance used to manage requests from several clients using SME server.
| |
| | | |
− | Some applications have the possibility to use imap/pop authentication (egroupware, GLPI, maybe others), but some don't offer this possibility, but can use only LDAP. imap/pop isn't as powerful as LDAP as we can only check user/password, whereas with LDAP, we can check other attributes, groups of the user etc.
