Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

NodeBB LDAP Authentication Plugin

This plugin was modified from https://github.com/smartameer/nodebb-plugin-office-ldap to allow for authentication using an OpenLDAP server.

The plugin allows a user to log in to NodeBB using credentials stored in the LDAP server. If the user doesn't currently exist in NodeBB, it will be created using the details retrieved from the LDAP server. Once installed, settings can be changed within the 'LDAP settings' menu in the 'Plugins' tab of the ACP (you may need to refresh the page for the tab to become visible).

Please disable user registration in the NodeBB ACP (Settings>User>User Registraion>No Registration) when using this plugin.

Features of the plugin include:

  • can log in to NodeBB via an email address or an additional 'Filter' field (Plugins>LDAP settings>Filter) that is stored in the LDAP server.
  • the email field MUST be set for each user in the LDAP server as the 'Filter' field is merely used to retrieve the email field for subsequent authentication.
  • on first login the username within NodeBB is generated from the 'User Name' field chosen in the 'LDAP settings' menu and retrieved from the LDAP server (must be unique for each user).
  • on first login the user 'Full Name' in NodeBB is generated using the 'Given Name' and 'Surname' fields chosen in the 'LDAP settings' menu and retrieved from the LDAP server.

Installation

The easiest way to install the plugin is via the Admin Control Panel (ACP - located at https://your.domain.name/admin/). Navigate to Plugins>Install Plugins>Find Plugins and search for 'nodebb-plugin-node-ldap'. Install the plugin, activate it and rebuild and restart NodeBB using the ACP Dashboard. Alternatively, the plugin can be manually installed from the command line as follows:

npm install @nodebb/nodebb-plugin-node-ldap

It is possible that your linux distribution may be missing some dependencies for this plugin to work. If that is the case, try:

sudo apt-get update && apt-get install -y ldap-utils dnsutils
