Allright then, I'll give it a shot. Disclaimer: I know nothing about Active Directory. First: If your LDAP server does not allow anonymous bind, then you need the support for authenticated bind which will be in 3.8. You can get it in the svn. Second, the LDAP version number must be correct, either 2 or 3 at the moment. I don't know what is correct for Active Directory, but its documentation should specify it. Skip the search filters, at least to begin with. The login attribute refers to the attribute in your LDAP login which should be used as the users' login. eZ publish needs to store the ldap users as local eZ publish users, in order to use them. More about this in the next 4 paragraphs: The LDAPUserGroupType and LDAPUserGroup are related. If the LDAPUserGroupType is id, then the LDAPUserGroup refers to content object ids of eZ publish user groups. If it is name, the LDAPUserGroup refers to names of eZ publish user groups. If the LDAPUserGroup is an array, then the first one will be the default placement of ldap users. If it's not, then all ldap users are stored in the same eZ publish user group. LDAPUserGroupAttributeType and LDAPUserGroupAttribute are used to specify which attribute of the ldap user object eZ publish should use when deciding where to place the users.
So, an example:
LDAPUserGroupType=name
LDAPUserGroup[]=Default
LDAPUserGroup[]=Secretary
LDAPUserGroup[]=Clerk
LDAPUserGroup[]=Boss
LDAPUserGroupAttributeType=name
LDAPUserGroupAttribute=employeetype
Now, when logging in, eZ publish looks at the LDAP object, and finds the attribute whose name is employeetype, and reads its value. Then, eZ publish searches for an eZ publish user group whose name equals the given value. If it is found, then the user is stored there. If not, it is stored in Default. That should cover the user group settings. The first name, last name and email settings are used when storing the eZ publish copy of the user.
Now, to the SAM account name. You can either:
- Set LDAPLoginAttribute=samaccountname, and tell people to login with just username, instead of username@domainname, or: - Find (or create) an LDAP attribute that contains the entire username@domainname, and set LDAPLoginAttribute to that, or, if that is not possible:
- Last solution: If you can not get the entire username@domainname as one single LDAP attribute, then you need to add support for using several attributes. You could set LDAPLoginAttribute=samaccountname@domain (given that the attribute "domain" contains the users domain), and then add the necessary code in kernel/classes/datatypes/ezuser/ezldapuser.php. The relevant part is around line 242 (in 3.8 svn): $LDAPFilter .= "($LDAPLogin=$login)";
Here you need to split $LDAPLogin and $login by "@", and change the filter a bit. Something like this, I think:
$LDAPFilter .= "($LDAPLoginPart1=$loginPart1)";
$LDAPFilter .= "($LDAPLoginPart2=$loginPart2)"; This is very experimental and hypothetical, of course. I hope you don't need to resort to this. If you do, we should add this feature to the distribution. I hope this helps!
