```

            "url": "https://github.com/kcone87/yii2-ldap-auth"
        }
    ],
}

```

Example of configuration and a use case
=======================================

[](#example-of-configuration-and-a-use-case)

Considering [yii2-app-basic](https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2-app-basic):

### Configure the component in your configuration file and change user identity class

[](#configure-the-component-in-your-configuration-file-and-change-user-identity-class)

```
'components' => [
    ...
    'ldapAuth' => [
        'class' => '\kcone87\Yii2LdapAuth\LdapAuth',
        'host' => 'your-ldap-hostname',
        'baseDn' => 'dc=work,dc=group',
        'searchUserName' => '',
        'searchUserPassword' => '',
        'userDomain' => '',//user domain
        // optional parameters and their default values
        'ldapVersion' => 3,             // LDAP version
        'protocol' => ['ldap://', 'ldaps://'],       // Protocol to use
        'followReferrals' => false,     // If connector should follow referrals
        'port' => 636,                  // Port to connect to
        'loginAttribute' => 'uid',      // Identifying user attribute to look up for
        'ldapObjectClass' => 'person',  // Class of user objects to look up for
        'timeout' => 10,                // Operation timeout, seconds
        'connectTimeout' => 5,          // Connect timeout, seconds
    ],
    ...

    'user' => [
        'identityClass' => '\kcone87\Yii2LdapAuth\Model\LdapUser',
    ],
    ...
]
```

### Update methods in LoginForm class

[](#update-methods-in-loginform-class)

```
use kcone87\Yii2LdapAuth\Model\LdapUser;

...

public function validatePassword($attribute, $params)
{
    if (!$this->hasErrors()) {
        $user = LdapUser::findIdentity($this->username);

        if (!$user || !Yii::$app->ldapAuth->authenticate($user->getDn(), $this->password)) {
            $this->addError($attribute, 'Incorrect username or password.');
        }
    }

    //if user is a member of a group
    //Yii::$app->ldapAuth->authenticate($this->username, $user->getDn(), $this->password, $userGroup)//check user
}

...

public function login()
{
    if ($this->validate()) {
        return Yii::$app->user->login(
            LdapUser::findIdentity($this->username),
            $this->rememberMe
                ? 3600*24*30 : 0
        );
    }
    return false;
}
```

Now you can login with LDAP credentials to your application.
