Ldap-connector

Provides an solution for authentication users with LDAP for Laravel 4.1

Installation

1. Install this package through Composer:

   composer require dsdevbe/ldap-connector:1.*

2. Change the authentication driver in the Laravel config to use the ldap driver. You can find this in the following file app/config/auth.php

   'driver' => 'ldap',

3. Create a new configuration file ldap.php in the configuration folder of Laravel app/config/ldap.php and modify to your needs.

   <?php
   
   return array(
       'account_suffix'        =>  "@domain.local",
       'domain_controllers'    =>  array("192.168.0.1", "dc02.domain.local"), // Load balancing domain controllers
       'base_dn'               =>  'DC=domain,DC=local',
       'admin_username'        =>  'dummy',    // Just needs to be an valid account to query other users if they exists
       'admin_password'        =>  'password'
   );

4. Once this is done you arrived at the final step and you will need to add a service provider. Open app/config/app.php, and add a new item to the providers array.

   'Dsdevbe\LdapConnector\LdapConnectorServiceProvider'

Usage

The LDAP plugin is an extension of the AUTH class and will act the same as normal usage with Eloquent driver.

```php
if (Auth::attempt(array('email' => $email, 'password' => $password)))
{
    return Redirect::intended('dashboard');
}
```

You can find more examples on Laravel Auth Documentation on using the Auth:: function.
