Passport-LDAP
Passport strategy for authenticating against an OpenLDAP server.
This module lets you authenticate against an OpenLDAP server in your Node.js applications. By plugging into Passport, LDAP authentication can be easily and unobtrusively integrated into any application or framework that supports Connect-style middleware, including Express.
Install
$ npm install passport-ldap
Usage
Configure Strategy
The LDAP authentication strategy authenticates requests by delegating to the given ldap server using the openldap protocol.
The strategy requires a verify
callback which accepts a user profile
entry
from the directory, and then calls the done
callback supplying a user
.
passport.use(new LDAPStrategy({
url: 'ldap://0.0.0.0:1389',
base: 'o=example',
search: {
filter: '(&(l=Seattle)(email=*@foo.com))',
}
},
function(profile, done) {
return done(null, profile);
}
));
Authenticate Requests
Use passport.authenticate()
, specifying the 'ldap'
strategy, to
authenticate requests.
For example, as route middleware in an Express application:
app.get('/auth/login',
passport.authenticate('facebook'));
app.post('/auth/ldap',
passport.authenticate('ldap', {
successRedirect: '/',
failureRedirect: '/auth/login/'
})
);
