LDAP authentication

[lzecca78]

Hi, should be possible to add, on top of Google and OVH, the LDAP authentication as well?

[camathieu]

Sure that looks doable. I'll take a look and give it a try.

Could you give more insight about the LDAP configuration you want to be supported ?

connection : non-TLS, TLS, START-TLS binding : anonymous / password / SASL / ...

Thanks a lot @camathieu ! Sure, usually the standard setup is to support plain or SSL connection and the password authentication binding is more than enough (you can give a look to the grafana ldap authentication plugin to see which fields are exposed : http://docs.grafana.org/installation/ldap/ ). Again, thanks a lot for your quick feedback!

It would be very useful !

any update since 2017 ?

I'm looking for the same support in plik. Any update on that?

My 2¢:

For LDAP Authentication, there is more then just plain password authentication. There must be some kind of admin group mapping for example.

As there are other authentication strategies also request (i have seen at least oauth so far), maybe something like go-guardian would be a good idea to use.

IF i find some time, i'll try to provide a pull request. No promises ;)

@tbe Did you manage to get to this, and if so, would you share your code?

[tbe]

@SentToDevNull not yet. I have started, but at the moment we are overloaded with other work, so, not any time soon.

Hi any update? :) I would love this feature, it would ease the pain of keeping track of the users.. So I just have to throw them into a security group in AD.. So when their account get shut down / plix and everything else goes as well :)
