[](#sentinel-ldap-addon)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/58f5a452ece6c75894554713011d2728ff7859491d183999211773e3438140dd/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f76696f6e6f782f73656e74696e656c2d6c6461702e7376673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/vionox/sentinel-ldap)

Sentinel LDAP is a Cartalyst `Sentinel` addon and lets you authenticate your users using LDAP (Active Directory).

The package requires PHP 5.4+ and comes bundled with a Laravel 4 Facade and a Service Provider to simplify the optional framework integration and follows the FIG standard PSR-4 to ensure a high level of interoperability between shared PHP code. The package also requires that you have [php5-ldap](http://php.net/manual/en/book.ldap.php) extension installed in your server.

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

[](#installation)

Sentinel LDAP is installable with Composer. Follow the instructions below

1. Copy the following line in your composer.json "require" section.

"xversial/sentinel-ldap": "dev-master",

2. Run composer update
3. Run php artisan config:publish vionox/sentinel-ldap
4. Open app/config/packages/vionox/sentinel-ldap/config.php and populate the parameters
5. Open app/config/app.php and include 'VIONOX\\Sentinel\\Addons\\Ldap\\Laravel\\LdapServiceProvider' in providers array and 'LDAP' => 'VIONOX\\Sentinel\\Addons\\Ldap\\Laravel\\Facades\\Ldap' in aliases array
6. To enable LDAP login use LDAP::authenticate instead of using Sentinel::authenticate.

Thats it. Have fun.

Config Parameters
-----------------

[](#config-parameters)

```
'ldap' => [

	'host' => 'ldaps://yourcompany.com:3269', // This is the ldap host  preferable a Global Catalog if you have multiple ldap servers. Also prepend :port if you are using a url instead of hostname (php5-ldap requirement as it will ignore the port parameter while using URL)

	'port' => 389, // port number while using hostname instead of url

	'search_user_dn' => 'CN=Some User,OU=SomeGroup,OU=SomeGroup,DC=yourcompany,DC=com', // search user - ask your ldap adminstrator for this

	'search_base' => 'DC=yourcompany,DC=com', // usually root of your domain

	'login_attribute' => 'sAMAccountName',  // currently unused

	'search_password' => 'yourpassword', // password for the search user - ask your ldap administrator

],
