DSpace 7 authentication-ldap.cfg
#---------------------------------------------------------------#
#------------LDAP AUTHENTICATION CONFIGURATIONS-----------------#
#---------------------------------------------------------------#
# Configuration properties used by the LDAP Authentication #
# plugin, when it is enabled. #
#---------------------------------------------------------------#
#
# If LDAP is enabled, then new users will be able to register
# by entering their username and password without being sent the
# registration token. If users do not have a username and password,
# then they can still register and login with just their email address
# the same way they do now.
#
# For providing any special privileges to LDAP users,
# you will still need to extend the SiteAuthenticator class to
# automatically put people who have a netid into a special
# group. You might also want to give certain email addresses
# special privileges. Refer to the DSpace documentation for more
# information about how to do this.
#
# It may be necessary to obtain the values of these settings from the
# LDAP server administrators as LDAP configuration will vary from server
# to server.
# This setting will enable or disable LDAP authentication in DSpace.
# With the setting off, users will be required to register and login with
# their email address. With this setting on, users will be able to login
# and register with their LDAP user ids and passwords.
authentication-ldap.enable = true
##### LDAP AutoRegister Settings #####
# This will turn LDAP autoregistration on or off. With this
# on, a new EPerson object will be created for any user who
# successfully authenticates against the LDAP server when they
# first login. With this setting off, the user
# must first register to get an EPerson object by
# entering their ldap username and password and filling out
# the forms.
authentication-ldap.autoregister = true
# This is the url to the institution's ldap server. The "o=myu.edu"
# part may or may not be required depending on the LDAP server setup,
# but make sure to include the slash after domain name.
# A server may also require the ldaps:// protocol.
# Note: Prepend commas with a backslash to escape them
#authentication-ldap.provider_url = ldap://ldap.myu.edu/ou=faculties\,o=myu.edu
# This is the unique identifier field in the LDAP directory
# where the username is stored.
authentication-ldap.id_field = sAMAccountName
# This is the object context used when authenticating the
# user. It is appended to the id_field and username.
# For example uid=username,ou=people,ou=faculties,o=myu.edu. This must match
# the LDAP server configuration.
# Note: Prepend commas with a backslash to escape them
#authentication-ldap.object_context = ou=students\,ou=faculties\,o=myu.edu
# This is the search context used when looking up a user's
# LDAP object to retrieve their data for autoregistering.
# With autoregister turned on, when a user authenticates
# without an EPerson object, a search on the LDAP directory to
# get their name and email address is initiated so that DSpace
# can create a EPerson object for them. So after we have authenticated against
# uid=username,ou=people,o=byu.edu we now search in ou=people
# for filtering on [uid=username]. Often the
# search_context is the same as the object_context
# parameter. But again this depends on each individual LDAP server
# configuration.
# Note: Prepend commas with a backslash to escape them
authentication-ldap.search_context = dc=cgiarad\,dc=org
# This is the LDAP object field where the user's email address
# is stored. "mail" is the default and the most common for
# LDAP servers. If the mail field is not found the username
# will be used as the email address when creating the eperson
# object.
authentication-ldap.email_field = mail
# This is the LDAP object field where the user's last name is
# stored. "sn" is the default and is the most common for LDAP
# servers. If the field is not found the field will be left
# blank in the new eperson object.
authentication-ldap.surname_field = sn
# This is the LDAP object field where the user's given names
# are stored. This may not be used or set in all LDAP instances.
# If the field is not found the field will be left blank in the
# new eperson object.
authentication-ldap.givenname_field = givenName
# This is the field where the user's phone number is stored in
# the LDAP directory. If the field is not found the field
# will be left blank in the new eperson object.
authentication-ldap.phone_field = telephoneNumber
##### LDAP users group #####
# If required, a group name can be given here, and all users who log in
# to LDAP will automatically become members of this group. This is useful
# if you want a group made up of all internal authenticated users.
authentication-ldap.login.specialgroup = CGIAR_LDAP_USERS
##### Hierarchical LDAP Settings #####
# If your users are spread out across a hierarchical tree on your
# LDAP server, you will need to search the tree to find the full DN of
# the user who is logging in.
#
# * If anonymous search is allowed on your LDAP server, you will need to set
# search.anonymous = true
# * If not, you will need to specify the full DN and password of a
# user that is allowed to bind in order to search for the users.
# * If neither search.anonymous is true, nor search.user is specified,
# LDAP will not do the hierarchical search for a DN and will assume
# a flat directory structure.
# This is the optional search scope value for the LDAP search during
# autoregistering. This will depend on your LDAP server setup.
# This value must be one of the following integers corresponding
# to the following values:
# object scope : 0
# one level scope : 1
# subtree scope : 2
authentication-ldap.search_scope = 2
# If true, the initial bind will be performed anonymously.
#authentication-ldap.search.anonymous = false
# The full DN and password of a user allowed to connect to the LDAP server
# and search for the DN of the user trying to log in.
# Note: Prepend commas with a backslash to escape them
#authentication-ldap.search.user = cn=admin\,ou=faculties\,ou=people\,o=myu.edu
#authentication-ldap.search.password = password
# If your LDAP server does not hold an email address for a user, you can use
# the following field to specify your email domain. This value is appended
# to the netid in order to make an email address. E.g. a netid of 'user' and
# netid_email_domain as '@example.com' would set the email of the user
# to be '[email protected]
#authentication-ldap.netid_email_domain = @example.com
# Take the left part of the groupmap value (before the ":") and look it up
# in user's full DN. If it's found, assign user to the DSpace group
# specified by the right part of the groupmap value (after the ":").
# One user may belong to multiple groups.
#authentication-ldap.login.groupmap.1 = OU=ILRIHUB:ILRI_LDAP_USERS
#authentication-ldap.login.groupmap.3 = ou=ldap-dept3:dspace-groupA
# If this property is uncommented, it changes the meaning of the left part of
# the groupmap value (before the ":") as follows.
# The value of login.groupmap.attribute specifies the name of an LDAP attribute.
# If user has this attribute, look up the value of this attribute in the left
# part of the groupmap value (before the ":"). If it's found, assign user to
# the DSpace group specified by the right part of the groupmap value (after
# the ":").
#authentication-ldap.login.groupmap.attribute = group
#authentication-ldap.login.groupmap.1 = ldap-dept1:dspace-group1
#authentication-ldap.login.groupmap.2 = ldap-dept2:dspace-groupA
#authentication-ldap.login.groupmap.3 = ldap-dept3:dspace-groupA
# Enables support for StartTLS (default is false). If this flag is true be sure provider_url looks like:
# ldap://ldap.myu.edu:389
#authentication-ldap.starttls=true
