GitLab fork | OmniAuth LDAP build status

LDAP

Use the LDAP strategy as a middleware in your application:

use OmniAuth::Strategies::LDAP, 
    :title        => "My LDAP",
    :host         => '10.101.10.1',
    :port         => 389,
    :encryption   => :plain,
    :base         => 'dc=intridea, dc=com',
    :uid          => 'sAMAccountName',
    :name_proc    => Proc.new {|name| name.gsub(/@.*$/,'')},
    :bind_dn      => 'default_bind_dn',
    # Or, alternatively:
    #:filter      => '(&(uid=%{username})(memberOf=cn=myapp-users,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com))'
    :name_proc    => Proc.new {|name| name.gsub(/@.*$/,'')}
    :bind_dn      => 'default_bind_dn'
    :password     => 'password'
    :tls_options  => {
      :ssl_version => 'TLSv1_2',
      :ciphers     => ["AES-128-CBC", "AES-128-CBC-HMAC-SHA1", "AES-128-CBC-HMAC-SHA256"]
    }

All of the listed options are required, with the exception of :title, :name_proc, :bind_dn, and :password.

  • encryption is the type of encryption to use between this library and the LDAP server. :plain means no encryption. :simple_tls represents SSL/TLS (usually on port 636) while :start_tls represents StartTLS (usually port 389).

  • :bind_dn and :password are the default credentials to perform user lookup. most LDAP servers require that you supply a complete DN as a binding-credential, along with an authenticator such as a password. But for many applications, you often don’t have a full DN to identify the user. You usually get a simple identifier like a username or an email address, along with a password. Since many LDAP servers don't allow anonymous access, search function will require a bound connection, :bind_dn and :password will be required for searching on the username or email to retrieve the DN attribute for the user. If the LDAP server allows anonymous access, you don't need to provide these two parameters.

  • :uid is the LDAP attribute name for the user name in the login form. typically AD would be 'sAMAccountName' or 'UserPrincipalName', while OpenLDAP is 'uid'.

  • :filter is the LDAP filter used to search the user entry. It can be used in place of :uid for more flexibility. %{username} will be replaced by the user name processed by :name_proc.

  • :name_proc allows you to match the user name entered with the format of the :uid attributes. For example, value of 'sAMAccountName' in AD contains only the windows user name. If your user prefers using email to login, a name_proc as above will trim the email string down to just the windows login name. In summary, use :name_proc to fill the gap between the submitted username and LDAP uid attribute value.

  • :try_sasl and :sasl_mechanisms are optional. :try_sasl [true | false], :sasl_mechanisms ['DIGEST-MD5' | 'GSS-SPNEGO'] Use them to initialize a SASL connection to server. If you are not familiar with these authentication methods, please just avoid them.

  • :tls_options allows you to pass in OpenSSL options like :ssl_version, :ciphers and more. See http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.0.0/libdoc/openssl/rdoc/OpenSSL/SSL/SSLContext.html for all available options and values.

Direct users to '/auth/ldap' to have them authenticated via your company's LDAP server.
