l4-ldap-ntlm

An LDAP/Active Directory/NTLM authentication driver for Laravel 4., _(*1)

This package will enable you to have basic authentication with a config-based ACL for admin and viewers of any auth based portion of a Laravel 4 based site. In addition, the package is capable of tying into Apache based NTLM authentication. You will need to install and configure both php5-ldap and libapache2-mod-auth-ntlm-winbind for Apache2 (Visit http://goo.gl/SzkuVo for a tutorial). If it is not installed, the package should still operate., _(*2)

Installation

To install this in your application add the following to your composer.json file, _(*3)

require {
    "wells/l4-ldap-ntlm": "dev-master"
}

Then run composer install or composer update as appropriate, _(*4)

Once you have finished downloading the package from Packagist.org you need to tell your Application to use the LDAP service provider., _(*5)

Open app/config/app.php and add:, _(*6)

Wells\L4LdapNtlm\L4LdapNtlmServiceProvider, _(*7)

This tells Laravel 4 to use the service provider from the vendor folder., _(*8)

You also need to direct Auth to use the ldap driver instead of Eloquent or Database., _(*9)

Edit app/config/auth.php and change driver to ldap, _(*10)

Configuration

Add the following config into your app/config/auth.php file, _(*11)

/**
 * LDAP Configuration for wells/l4-ldap-ntlm
 */
'ldap' => array(
    // Domain controller (host), Domain to search (domain), 
    // OU containing users (basedn), OU containing groups (groupdn)
    'host' => 'ldap://dc', // You can also use ldaps://
    'domain' => 'domain.com',
    'timeout' => 3, // Timeout in seconds (It is optional, if you don´t select it is used the default value)
    'basedn' => 'OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=com',
    'groupdn' => 'OU=Groups,DC=domain,DC=com',

    // Domain credentials the app should use to access DC
    // This user doesn't need any privileges
    'dn_user' => '*',
    'dn_pass' => '*',

    //At minimum, you'll need these attributes
    'attributes' => array(
        'dn', 
        'samaccountname',
        'memberof'
    ),

    // Optionally require groups to gain auth view access
    'groups' => array('AuthViewers'),

    // Optionally require group admins
    'admin_groups' => array('IT'),

    // Optionally require owners/admins (username)
    'owners' => array('ceo'),
),

Usage

In addition to the default Auth functionality, You can enable NTLM authentication with the auto() method from provided Guard class. Edit app/config/filters.php and change to:, _(*12)

Route::filter('auth', function()
{
    // !Auth::user() checks to see if the user has access permission
    if (!Auth::auto() || Auth::guest()) return Redirect::guest('login');
});
