Accounts-LDAP for Meteor

===============

This is a proof of concept LDAP add-on to Meteor Accounts.

That said, when one logs in with a username and password, it does check said username and password against an LDAP server.

This code has been updated for Meteor 0.8.1.1 but is completely untested as I'm not near a network that has an LDAP server currently.

Installation

============

* Copy to `/packages` in your project.

```

// if using Accounts UI, you could add something lik

Accounts.ui.config({

  passwordSignupFields: 'USERNAME_ONLY'

});

Accounts.config({

  forbidClientAccountCreation: true

});

```

* Update lines 10-23 in `ldap-client.js` with your server's data

* Lines 14-15 in `ldap-handler.js` determine whether or not nonexistent Meteor accounts are created when a person's LDAP credentials check out.

Usage

=====

    Accounts.callLoginMethod({

      methodArguments: [{ username : 'username', password : 'password' }],

      userCallback: function (error, result) {

        if (error) {

          console.log(error || "Unknown error");

        }

      }

    });

Notes

=====

* The LDAP search strings are Active Directory-specific

* ***The typed-in username and password is sent to the Meteor server unencrypted***

* There's no code to check if the LDAP connection failed.
