customer LDAP backend

[cyr0nk0r]

The help pages are confusing. There are 2 different examples and I don't know which one to use.

Example 11.3. Configuring an LDAP customer backend

# CustomerUser
# (customer ldap backend and settings)
$Self->{CustomerUser} = {
Name => 'LDAP Data Source',
Module => 'Kernel::System::CustomerUser::LDAP',
Params => {
# ldap host
Host => 'bay.csuhayward.edu',
# ldap base dn
BaseDN => 'ou=seas,o=csuh',
# search scope (one|sub)
SSCOPE => 'sub',
# The following is valid but would only be necessary if the
# anonymous user does NOT have permission to read from the LDAP tree
UserDN => '',
UserPw => '',
# in case you want to add always one filter to each ldap query, use
# this option. e. g. AlwaysFilter => '(mail=*)' or AlwaysFilter => '(objectclass=user)'
AlwaysFilter => '',
# if both your frontend and your LDAP are unicode, use this:
SourceCharset => 'utf-8',
DestCharset => 'utf-8',
# if your frontend is unicode and the charset of your
# ldap server is iso-8859-1, use these options.
# SourceCharset => 'iso-8859-1',
# DestCharset => 'utf-8',
# Net::LDAP new params (if needed - for more info see perldoc Net::LDAP)
Params => {
port => 389,
timeout => 120,
async => 0,
version => 3,
},
},
# customer unique id

Example 11.11. Customer user authentication against an LDAP backend

# This is an example configuration for an LDAP auth. backend.
# (make sure Net::LDAP is installed!)
$Self->{'Customer::AuthModule'} = 'Kernel::System::CustomerAuth::LDAP';
$Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::Host'} = 'ldap.example.com';
$Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::BaseDN'} = 'dc=example,dc=com';
$Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::UID'} = 'uid';

# Check if the user is allowed to auth in a posixGroup
# (e. g. user needs to be in a group xyz to use otrs)
$Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::GroupDN'} = 'cn=otrsallow,ou=posixGroups,dc=example,dc=com';
$Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::AccessAttr'} = 'memberUid';
# for ldap posixGroups objectclass (just uid)
$Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::UserAttr'} = 'UID';
# for non ldap posixGroups objectclass (full user dn)
#$Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::UserAttr'} = 'DN';

# The following is valid but would only be necessary if the
# anonymous user does NOT have permission to read from the LDAP tree
$Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::SearchUserDN'} = '';
$Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::SearchUserPw'} = '';

# in case you want to add always one filter to each ldap query, use
# this option. e. g. AlwaysFilter => '(mail=*)' or AlwaysFilter => '(objectclass=user)'
$Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::AlwaysFilter'} = '';

# in case you want to add a suffix to each customer login name, then
# you can use this option. e. g. user just want to use user but
# in your ldap directory exists user@domain.
#$Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::UserSuffix'} = '@domain.com';

# Net::LDAP new params (if needed - for more info see perldoc Net::LDAP)
$Self->{'Customer::AuthModule::LDAP::Params'} = {
port => 389,
timeout => 120,
async => 0,
version => 3,
};

One tells you customer information. The other provides authentication method.
