# An Example to use ldap-authentication as a Passport Strategy

This example uses [ldap-authtication](https://github.com/shaozi/ldap-authentication) to create a Passport LDAP authentication strategy.

## Installation

1. `npm install`

## Work flow

1. `node index.js` to start the server

1. Launch browser and goto `http://localhost:4000`

1. Login as prompted

1. Try different username and password

## How does it work

This example uses [ldap-authentication](https://github.com/shaozi/ldap-authentication) and put it in [passport-custom](https://github.com/mbell8903/passport-custom/blob/master/test/strategy.test.js) to create

a complete Passport strategy.

The LDAP server is hosted at [forumsys](https://www.forumsys.com/tutorials/integration-how-to/ldap/online-ldap-test-server/) and it has a few simple

users to test with.

The information of the LDAP server is saved in `config.js` file.

[ldap-authtication](https://github.com/shaozi/ldap-authentication) takes

the username and password from the submitted form, with the ldap configurations from `config.js` file, it then constructs an option object:

```javascript

const CONFIG = require('./config.js')

// ...

let ldapBaseDn = CONFIG.ldap.dn

let options = {

  ldapOpts: {

    url: CONFIG.ldap.url

  },

  userDn: `uid=${req.body.username},${ldapBaseDn}`,

  userPassword: req.body.password,

  userSearchBase: ldapBaseDn,

  usernameAttribute: 'uid'

}

```

then it calls `let user = await authenticate(options)` to authenticate and

retrieve user from the LDAP server.

I encourage you to check the `index.js` file for details.
