This can be a closure or a string. * The closure allows you to modify the rules in the configuration without the * need to modify the LDAP plugin. One host (string) should be returned when * using closure. You can find your ldap servers with the following command: * host -t srv _ldap._tcp.YOURDOMAIN.LOCAL * - `port` - The port to use. Default is 389 and is not required. * - `search` - The attribute to search against. Usually 'UserPrincipalName' * - `baseDN` - The base DN for directory - Closure must be used here, the plugin * is expecting a closure object to be set. * - `attributes` - An array of the required attributes, e.g. ["mail", "sn", "cn"]. * Note that the "dn" is always returned irrespective of which attributes types are * requested. * - `errors` - Array of errors where key is the error and the value is the error * message. Set in session to Flash.ldap for flashing * * @link http://php.net/manual/en/function.ldap-search.php - for more info on ldap search */ 'Ldap' => [ 'domain' => 'domain.local', 'host' => function() { $hosts = [ 'host1.domain.local', 'host2.domain.local' ]; shuffle($hosts); return $hosts[0]; }, 'port' => 389, 'search' => function($username, $domain) { if (strpos($username, $domain) !== false) { // remove the @domain from username $username = str_replace('@' . $domain, '', $username); } $search = '(&(objectCategory=person)(samaccountname=' . $username.
