Unable to authenticate users.

[DarrenRainey]

Hello I'm trying to use this module in my expressjs application however after some testing I can seen to get the module to authenticate users below is some working code from the standalone active directory module which does authenticate followed by the passports code which does not. I'm sending the username and passport via a html form / post request to the /login page.

Working for authentication

var passport = require('passport')
var ActiveDirectoryStrategy = require('passport-activedirectory')
var ActiveDirectory = require('activedirectory')

var ad = new ActiveDirectory({
  url: 'ldap://labnet.local',
  baseDN: 'DC=labnet,DC=local',
  username: '[email protected]',
  password: 'password_here'
})

passport.use(new ActiveDirectoryStrategy({
  integrated: false,
  ldap: ad
}, function (profile, ad, done) {
  ad.isUserMemberOf(profile._json.dn, 'AccessGroup', function (err, isMember) {
    if (err) return done(err)
    return done(null, profile)
  })
}))

Not working in passportjs

// Passport Requires
const passport = require('passport');
const session = require('express-session');
const express = require('express')
const bodyParser = require("body-parser");
const app = express()
const port = 3000
var ActiveDirectoryStrategy = require('passport-activedirectory');

// Setup
app.use(session({
    secret: 'secret',
    resave: false,
    saveUninitialized: false,
    cookie: { secure: false, maxAge: 600000 }
}));
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(passport.initialize());
app.use(passport.session());

passport.serializeUser(function(user, done) {
    console.log('userStrategy -- serialized:', user)
    done(null, user);
});

passport.deserializeUser(function(user, done) {
    console.log('userStrategy -- deserializeUser', user)
    done(null, user);
});

passport.use(new ActiveDirectoryStrategy({
    integrated: false,
    passReqToCallback: true,
    ldap: {
  url: 'ldap://labnet.local',
  baseDN: 'CN=Domain Users,CN=Users,DC=labnet,DC=local',
  username: '[email protected]',
  password: 'password_here'
    }
}, function (req, profile, ad, done) {
    ad.isUserMemberOf(profile._json.dn, 'Domain Users', function (err, isMember) {
        console.log('isMember:', isMember)
        if (err) {
            return done(err)
        } else {
            return done(null, profile)
        }
    })
}))

// Login Route

app.post('/login',passport.authenticate('ActiveDirectory', { failWithError: true }),
    function (req, res) {
        console.log(res);
        console.log(req);
       console.log('Authenticated');
        return res.status(200).send(req.user);
    }, function (err) {
        console.log('Not Authenticated');
        return res.sendStatus(401).send(err);
    }
)


// Test endpoint to check whether user is authenticated
app.get('/test', function(req, res) {
    if (req.isAuthenticated()) {
        res.send('Youre authenticated!')
    } else {
        res.send('Youre not authenticated!')
    }
})

app.get('/', function(req, res){
        res.sendFile(__dirname + "/page.html", {} )
});

app.listen(port, () => {
  console.log(`Example app listening on port ${port}`)//
})

any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Hello!

Put a breakpoint in the 'index.js' file of the 'passport-active-directory' lib, on line 146 and see what options appear inside 'result'.

Here with me they appeared inside 'others' instead of 'users'. I created this fork to help:

and also added a custom filter when instantiating ldap

passport.use(new ActiveDirectoryStrategy({
            integrated: false,
            group: 'user',
            ldap: {
                url: url.href,
                baseDN: AD_BASE_DN,
                username: AD_USERNAME,
                password: AD_PASSWORD,
                filter: (username) => {
                    // return `(&(dn=${username})(objectClass=*))`;
                    return `(cn=${username})`;
                }
            }
        }
