LDAP Authentication extension - Call for testers
Development and Programming
I need a handful of testers for a new LDAP authentication extension I have in development.
Currently, it is working for both AD and eDirectory configurations, although I have not integrated it with the member_member_login_start functionality.
If you are interested in testing the module out and providing feedback, let me know. It is not production ready yet, so it should not be implemented as a deployed website’s authentication scheme.
Mostly, university-related is the response I assume I will get, although I would like it to work in other situations. It is not, however, a profile management tool, nor is it meant to extend all the wonderful features of LDAP into EE. It is strictly for authentication.
Additionally, it will be released as free software and I take no responsibility or liability for the performance or security issues it may introduce.
You use at your own risk, and by requesting and installing the extension, you are acknowledging that you understand and agree to that stipulation.
Leave a message or send me a PM if you are interested.
Thanks! Jared
Sure hit me up dude. 😉
Alright, you will need an LDAP server to test it out. 😊
Hi Jared,
I’d like to try your auth mod out. We have a LAN here running eDir and I’d love to be able to have my user auth external from the EE installation.
I actually have a small app to deploy in the next couple of weeks which will get pretty heavy use by several hundred users across the intranet. This is a low-risk app, so I can “play” by using beta code for the auth steps. It’ll be fun.
All your stipulated non-liability remarks are understood and accepted.

I’d love to try this out! And or help. I have an Active Directory and an OpenLDAP server.
Regards,
Jim
Could I try it? Thanks.
Would love to, running win2000 AD.
I’ve got a school district with close to 4,000 members and they would give you rock-star status if this works for them. If you can handle thousands of screaming fans, lets see what you’ve got!
Anybody had a chance to play with this yet. I have it but just haven’t had the time to dig in? Maybe if there were a couple of us testing this we could collaborate?
Regards,
jim
Anyone? Is there a public download?
I wanna to test this too…
…any interest in this thread left? I am trying to get this going over ldap 389 and no luck…
I don’t know how I missed this thread, anyway. I’d enjoy testing this out and hope a full fledge support can be generated for this.
This has to be the one key factor that is stopping me from getting so many others in my administrative community from using EE.
This semester we were going to toy with the idea of external validation injected into each page, but so far I’ve done so much manual modification of EE code that it makes upgrading it rather much of a pain and I hate to add yet one more. I so wish I had time to sit and move so much of this to ext./plugs.
Let me know if this is still available for testing.
I’m also a university user, and very interested in testing this out - let me know if this is or may be available anytime soon.
I got a hold of the test LDAP extention noted in this thread and haven’t had a chance to try to get it working, but it was noted that the author has abandoned this thread if not the project.
I did want to point out (as I’m slowly trying to get into the PHP and Codeigniter mood) that someone on the CodeIgnigter forums has devloped an LDAP/AD library for CI http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/96889/
Hopefully I will get some time here soon to both learn more of PHP/CI, test out this LDAP ext. and see if I can’t play with the Library mentioned above to maybe merge the two or at least do an auth type to load the page.
Making time for all that blush tall order for me, but I thought I would pass the info on to anyone else who was interested.
