Simple extension to handle auth over LDAP in Yii 2 applications.
This extension intended for applications that rely only on LDAP authentication and does not support access tokens.
Installation
composer require "MindContact/yii2-ldap-auth:master"
Example of configuration and a use case
Considering yii2-app-basic:
Configure the component in your configuration file and change user identity class
'components' => [ ... 'ldapAuth' => [ 'class' => '\MindContact\Yii2LdapAuth\LdapAuth', 'host' => 'ldap-server', 'baseDn' => 'dc=shihadeh,dc=intern', 'searchUserName' => 'cn=admin,dc=shihadeh,dc=intern', 'searchUserPassword' => 'test1234', // optional parameters and their default values 'ldapVersion' => 3, // LDAP version 'protocol' => 'ldap://', // Protocol to use 'followReferrals' => false, // If connector should follow referrals 'port' => 389, // Port to connect to 'loginAttribute' => 'cn', // Identifying user attribute to look up for 'ldapObjectClass' => 'inetOrgPerson', // Class of user objects to look up for 'timeout' => 10, // Operation timeout, seconds 'connectTimeout' => 5, // Connect timeout, seconds 'roleMappings' => [ 'cn=Admins,ou=Groups,dc=shihadeh,dc=intern' => 'admin', 'cn=Maintaners,ou=Groups,dc=shihadeh,dc=intern' => 'operator', ], 'isEnabled' => false, 'demoUser' => [ 'Id' => 'demo.user', 'Username' => 'Demo User', 'Email' => 'demo.user@demo.com', 'Dn' => 'cn=demo_user,dc=shihadeh,dc=intern', 'Roles' => ['admin'] ] ], ... 'user' => [ 'identityClass' => '\MindContact\Yii2LdapAuth\Model\LdapUser', 'enableSession' => true, 'enableAutoLogin' => true, ], ... ]
Update methods in LoginForm class
use MindContact\Yii2LdapAuth\Model\LdapUser; ... public function validatePassword($attribute, $params) { if (!$this->hasErrors()) { $user = LdapUser::findIdentity($this->username); if (!$user || !Yii::$app->ldapAuth->authenticate($user->getDn(), $this->password) { $this->addError($attribute, 'Incorrect username or password.'); } } } ... public function login() { if ($this->validate()) { return Yii::$app->user->login( LdapUser::findIdentity($this->username), $this->rememberMe ? 3600*24*30 : 0 ); } return false; }
Verify that user belongs to LDAP group
If you need also need to check if user is a member of certain LDAP group, use one more parameter
for the authenticate
function:
Yii::$app->ldapAuth->authenticate($user->getDn(), $this->password, 'cn=auth-user-group')
Now you can login with LDAP credentials to your application.
