CATS LDAP authentication module

[libregeek]

Hello all,
I have customized a LDAP authentication module for CATS. However it's not complete and many improvements can be done. Even though it's developed for cats-0.5.5 it works fine with the 0.9 also. you can download the patches and files from here:

http://sarovar.org/frs/shownotes.php?release_id=736

The user list is still maintained in the mysql table, but the authentication request will be directed to the ldap database. To create the user first you
have to add the user to LDAP and then to the MySQL database (through Settings in CATS).

Please read the README before using the plugin.

NOTE: I've transcribed this over to the wiki at http://opencats.org/wiki/index.php?titl ... ion_module

Hi Libregeek,

have you tested this further with Cats 0.9.x? is it stable?

Thanks for this module but I'm having problems getting it working with Active Directory.

This is what I currently have:

Code: Select all

define ('AUTH_MODE', 'ldap'); // Currently supports ldap, sql
define ('LDAP_HOST', 'ldap_server');
define ('LDAP_PORT', '389');
define ('LDAP_BASEDN', 'ou=users,ou=company,dc=local,dc=domain');
define ('LDAP_UID', 'sAMAccountName');
define ('LDAP_CONNECT_DN', 'uid=test,ou=users,ou=company,dc=local,dc=domain');
define ('LDAP_PASSWORD', 'test123');


Does this look correct? For LDAP_CONNECT_DN I tried sAMAccountName=test and uid=test and neither work.

Hello,
Sorry, I didn't tested the plugin in ActiveDirectory. However, it works fine with OpenLDAP and cats-0.5.5. I think some sort of tweaking needs to be done to get it working with cats-0.9. I can also provide the latest patch. Please give me some time .

regards

Here is the unified patch of the LDAP Authentication plugin for CATS-0.9.1. I have to change the extension to *.gz since *.patch is not accepted here.
