LDAP#
With the help of the LDAP integration you can couple the user authentication of WoltLab Suite with an existing directory service and thus ensure that users can log in to WoltLab Suite with their existing access data.
System Requirements#
The following requirements must be met to use the LDAP integration:
- PHP extension ldap
- LDAP-compatible directory service (for example Microsoft Active Directory or OpenLDAP)
- Plugin LDAP Authentication installed (paid plugin)
Configure LDAP#
After the LDAP Authentication plugin has been installed, all configuration settings for the LDAP integration can be found in the admin panel under Configuration → Options → User → LDAP Authentication.
The following configuration settings are available:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Enable automatic login | Enables the so-called Single-Sign-On. Users are logged in when WoltLab Suite is started without the need to enter access data. Please note the special requirements for this function mentioned in the description of the settings. |
| Enable manual login | Enables the manual login by entering login credentials. |
| Enable “Persistent Login” | Enables the storage of login credentials in a cookie for a permanent login. |

| LDAP Domain | Enter the name of the domain. |
| LDAP Lookup Path | Enter the search path for querying users in LDAP. |
| Multiple Servers/Domains | Enter a list of multiple LDAP servers. |
