LDAP via simple auth separate bind user and search base#5055
Merged
Conversation
change templates so user base shows on simple LDAP new and edit forms Signed-off-by: Tony Homrich <tenacubus@gmail.com>
Pull BindDN code out of findUserDN function so it is more universal. It is only called once so the bind now occurs just before the call. Signed-off-by: Tony Homrich <tenacubus@gmail.com>
if UserBase is set for a simple LDAP auth then use it to find the full UserDN This allows AD users who bind using a special format like domain\user or user@domain and need the fully qualified UserDN Signed-off-by: Tony Homrich <tenacubus@gmail.com>
allow user_base to be required on BindDN LDAP but not simple auth LDAP

@tenacubus Would it be possible to create a PR to update the documentation for LDAP to match your changes - and explain when the user_base field is required and what it should be? (Or update this PR) |

Resolves #3048
If you're using Active Directory and need to bind using the format user@domain.org or DOMAIN\user LDAP simple auth will fail. The problem is that UserDN setting we bind on is also used for the search base and it's not a qualified DN.
To solve this I added the User Search Base field previously only on LDAP via BindDN to the simple auth as well. If you have a setting in this field on simple auth it will use that as the LDAP search base instead of the UserDN.
It works but I'm not a huge fan of my code to have User Search Base only required for BindDN but not simple auth. If somebody has suggestions for how to do it cleanly I'm open. The existing classes and js didn't have a good way for a field to be in both but only required in one.
