Example

const clientOptions = {
  url: 'ldap://ldap.forumsys.com',
  port: '389',
};
const dnString = 'cn=read-only-admin,dc=example,dc=com';
const password = 'password';

// create a client instance that is connected with the directory server
const client = createLdapClient(clientOptions, dnString, password);

const searchDn = 'dc=example,dc=com';
const filterOptions = {
        filter: '(objectClass=*)',
        scope: 'sub',
      };

//Search users in the directory server
const users = await searchUsers(client,searchDn, filterOptions)

SAML

createLoginRequest(serviceProvider, identityProvider, binding)

Returns a login url to the identity provider

parseSAMLResponse(serviceProvider, identityProvider, request)

Parses the SAML request to a JSON object

createLogout(serviceProvider, identityProvider, user, redirectUrl?)

Creates an SSO logout url for the given user (sp initiated)

createServiceProvider(xmlMetaData: string | Buffer, args: ServiceProviderSettings = {})

Creates a service provider object to interact with.

• All service provider options

createIdentityProvider(xmlMetaData: string | Buffer, args: IdentityProviderSettings = {})

Creates an identityProvider object to interact with

• All identity provider options

Example

 const serviceProvider = createServiceProvider(...);
 const identityProvider = createIdentityProvider(...);

  // Login
  async (req, res) => {
    const loginUrl = createLoginRequest(serviceProvider, identityProvider, 'redirect')
    res.redirect(loginUrl);
  }

  // The identity provider will send SAML response upon successful authentication
  // We will validate the response
  async (req, res) => {
    const user = parseSAMLResponse(serviceProvider, identityProvider, req);
    if (user) { /* business logic} */ }
  }

  // Logout
  async (req, res) => {
    const logoutUrl = createLogout(serviceProvider, identityProvider, user, redirectUrl)
    res.redirect(logoutUrl)
  }

• All available samlify options
