LDAP Group Synchronization
==========================
Requirements
------------
- Have LDAP authentication properly configured
- Use a LDAP server that supports `memberOf`
Define automatically user roles based on LDAP groups
----------------------------------------------------
Use these constants in your config file:
- `LDAP_GROUP_ADMIN_DN`: Distinguished names for application administrators
- `LDAP_GROUP_MANAGER_DN`: Distinguished names for application managers
Example:
```php
define('LDAP_GROUP_ADMIN_DN', 'CN=Kanboard Admins,CN=Users,DC=kanboard,DC=local');
define('LDAP_GROUP_MANAGER_DN', 'CN=Kanboard Managers,CN=Users,DC=kanboard,DC=local');
```
- People member of "Kanboard Admins" will have the role "Administrator"
- People member of "Kanboard Managers" will have the role "Managers"
- Everybody else will have the role "User"
Automatically load LDAP groups for project permissions
------------------------------------------------------
This feature allows you to sync automatically LDAP groups with Kanboard groups.
Each group can have a different project role assigned.
On the project permissions page, people can enter groups in the auto-complete field and Kanboard can search for groups with any provider enabled.
If the group doesn't exist in the local database, it will be automatically synced.
- `LDAP_GROUP_PROVIDER`: Enable the LDAP group provider
- `LDAP_GROUP_BASE_DN`: Distinguished names to find groups in LDAP directory
- `LDAP_GROUP_FILTER`: LDAP filter used to perform the query
- `LDAP_GROUP_ATTRIBUTE_NAME`: LDAP attribute used to fetch the group name
Example:
```php
define('LDAP_GROUP_PROVIDER', true);
define('LDAP_GROUP_BASE_DN', 'CN=Groups,DC=kanboard,DC=local');
define('LDAP_GROUP_FILTER', '(&(objectClass=group)(sAMAccountName=%s*))');
```
With the filter given as example above, Kanboard will search for groups that match the query.
If the end-user enter the text "My group" in the auto-complete box, Kanboard will return all groups that match the pattern: `(&(objectClass=group)(sAMAccountName=My group*))`.
Note that the special characters `*` is important here, otherwise an exact match will be done.
