CodeIgniter ShieldLDAP
======================

[](#codeigniter-shieldldap)

ShieldLDAP is an CodeIgniter Shield Addon to authenticate against an LDAP Server.

See the [An Official Auth Library](https://github.com/codeigniter4/shield/blob/develop/README.md) for more Info.

Authentication Methods
----------------------

[](#authentication-methods)

ShieldLDAP provides the **LDAP-based** method.

### LDAP

[](#ldap)

This is your typical username/password system you see everywhere. It includes a secure "remember me" functionality. This can be used for standard web applications, as well as for single page applications. Includes full controllers and basic views for all standard functionality, like registration, login, forgot password, etc.

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

### Prerequisites

[](#prerequisites)

Usage of Shield requires the following:

- A [CodeIgniter 4.3.5+](https://github.com/codeigniter4/CodeIgniter4/) based project
- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) for package management
- PHP 7.4.3+

### Installation

[](#installation)

Installation is done through Composer.

```
composer config minimum-stability dev
composer config prefer-stable true

```

#--------------------------------------------------------------------

authldap.ldap_host              =
authldap.ldap_domain            =
authldap.search_base            =
authldap.storePasswordInSession = false
authldap.use_ldaps              = true
authldap.username               =
