LDAP Authenticator
==================

[](#ldap-authenticator)

This package adds quick support for LDAP authentication using Zend Frameowork's LDAP authentication package. It includes support for Laravel 5.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

`composer require berg/ldap-authenticator`

Laravel Config
--------------

[](#laravel-config)

This package comes with a driver to support quick setup using Laravel 5. To set up, first install the package and then register the driver by placing the following code in the AppServiceProvider's boot method:

```
Auth::extend('ldap', function($app) {
    $userProvider = new LdapUserProvider();
    return new Guard($userProvider, $app->make('Illuminate\Session\Store'));
});

```

Then create a file named ldap.php in the config/ folder. The file should return an array with the following values:

```
'hostname'      => '',
'port'          => 636,
'security'      => 'SSL',
'base_dn'       => '',
'bind_dn'       => '',
'bind_password' => ''

```

Lastly set the driver in the `config/auth.php` file to `ldap`.

If you wish to use the class for non-authentication tasks such as checking if a user exists, you may also use the built in service provider by adding the following line to the `app.php` config file:

```
'Berg\LdapAuthenticator\Laravel\LdapServiceProvider'

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Once set up, using the Auth::attempt($username, $password) will automatically call on the ldap driver.

To use the service provider, call `App::make('LdapAuthenticateService')`

### Exceptions

[](#exceptions)

This package uses exceptions to handle invalid logins. The following errors are used:

```
'Berg\LdapAuthenticator\Exceptions\IncorrectCredentialsException'
'Berg\LdapAuthenticator\Exceptions\InvalidCredentialsException'
'Berg\LdapAuthenticator\Exceptions\UserDoesNotExistException

```

If using Laravel, these should be added to the `$dontReport` property in the Handler class. [Custom handling of each exception can be added to the `Handler->render()` method.](http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/errors#handling-errors)
