Like mhannen, our AD has different shortnames than the E-mail addresses. This is a problem when I try to elevate someone to an administrator. It requires a vaild E-mail address. I can only update someone via the database (unless I want to disable the regex validation in the php). Neither of those options are ideal. Still, it's better than asking our users to come up with another password that they'll never change otherwise.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/10-march-2015-machform-43-released#post-22928 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 21:38:10 +0000 mhannen 22928@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thanks, Yuniar. Our email addresses are actually different from the short name. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/10-march-2015-machform-43-released#post-22927 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 20:49:55 +0000 jscott02 22927@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thanks got it working, even without the code and I put the whole DN in the Base DN field (cn=xx,ou=xx,o=xx), nothing in the group field.</p> <p>I think the issue we were having was because of the group I wanted to use, it added users using "member" attributes and not actual users. </p> <p>Once I copied in users it started to work. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/10-march-2015-machform-43-released#post-22925 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 17:54:21 +0000 yuniar 22925@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>@mhannen -- Spaces within group names shouldn't be a problem. To authenticate, you can use the email or the user logon name (which is actually the first part of the email). </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/10-march-2015-machform-43-released#post-22924 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 17:51:56 +0000 yuniar 22924@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>@ jscott02 -- By default, MachForm will bind as the user (not ADMIN) to do the search. However, if you've configured LDAP to only allow ADMIN to do the search, you can pass the admin credentials by adding a small custom code.</p> <p>If you are using OpenLDAP:<br /> =====================</p> <p>You can edit the "index.php" file. Search around line 220 for this code:</p> <pre><code>$user_current_groups = array();</code></pre> <p>exactly below that line, add this code:</p> <pre><code>$openldap_admin_username = &quot;admin&quot;; $openldap_admin_password = &quot;adminpassword&quot;; ldap_bind($opldap_conn, $openldap_login_attribute.&#39;=&#39;.$openldap_admin_username.&#39;,&#39;.$mf_settings[&#39;ldap_basedn&#39;], $openldap_admin_password);</code></pre> <p>adjust the above username and password with your own.</p> <p>If you are using Active Directory:<br /> =========================</p> <p>Edit the "index.php" file. Search around line 142 for this code:</p> <pre><code>$adldap_auth_result = $adldap-&gt;authenticate($username, $password);</code></pre> <p>above that line, add this code:</p> <pre><code>$adldap-&gt;setAdminUsername(&quot;admin&quot;); $adldap-&gt;setAdminPassword(&quot;adminpassword&quot;);</code></pre> <p>adjust the above username and password with your own. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/10-march-2015-machform-43-released#post-22921 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 03:12:48 +0000 mhannen 22921@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>We have a similar issue where we need to pass a username and password to our Active Directory. Also, some of our groups have spaces in them. Is that an issue? Finally, do we use the short name in AD to authenticate or the email address? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/10-march-2015-machform-43-released#post-22920 Thu, 12 Mar 2015 03:06:44 +0000 jscott02 22920@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>We are using OpenLDAP, however it would likely require an ADMIN user to search our other groups. I did a little research and see that you can include admin credentials in adLDAP, can that be done with MF?</p> <p>In the adLDAP.php file, could I include it here?</p> <p> * Optional account with higher privileges for searching<br /> * This should be set to a domain admin account<br /> *<br /> * @var string<br /> * @var string<br /> */<br /> protected $adminUsername = NULL;<br /> protected $adminPassword = NULL; </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/10-march-2015-machform-43-released#post-22907 Wed, 11 Mar 2015 10:07:18 +0000 yuniar 22907@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>That's great to hear guys!</p> <p>@jscott02</p> <p>Simply put your group name into the "Required Group" setting. (example: Staff)<br /> Or if you need to enter multiple groups, separate them with commas, such as: <strong>Staff,Students,Guests</strong></p> <p>Also make sure that the user already belong to the group. Are you using Active Directory or OpenLDAP? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/10-march-2015-machform-43-released#post-22902 Tue, 10 Mar 2015 21:52:43 +0000 jscott02 22902@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Awesome, installed and ldap is working.
