Overview

Excerpt
The LDAP Userdirectory plugin facilitates the integration of existing LDAP or directories with LDAP interfaces (for example, Active Directory).

LDAP Implementation

The LDAP plugin (farcryldap) provides a quick way to hook simple LDAP servers into a project.

You'll have to pick up the plugin from version control:

This is a standard plugin. Simply:

copy the files to /farcry/plugins/farcryldap
add the plugin to your application's plugin list (<yourProject>/www/farcryConstructor.cfm -> THIS.plugins)
then restart the application (ie. updateapp!)

In the webtop, open the configuration settings for 'ldap' (Webtop->Admin->Edit config->ldap), and update the following settings:

Setting	Description
Host	The ip or domain of the LDAP server
Username	If the server doesn't allow anonymous access, put the username here. Leave empty for anonymous access
Password	If the server doesn't allow anonymous access, put the password here. Leave empty for anonymous access
User start DN	The distinguished name of the node that contains all users
User DN	The distinguished name to use to retrieve a particular user. Insert {userid} where the login should be inserted. NOTE: userid should not contain a '_'
profileProp=LDAPattr list	Maps LDAP attributes to profile properties. Should be in the form [FCDEV40:profile property 1]=[FCDEV40:LDAP attribute 1],...,[FCDEV40:profile property n]=[FCDEV40:LDAP property n]
