I don't know much about this topic, is the first time when I need to do this.
I have a platform (an e-commerce website) with the LDAP extension added, I must test to see if LDAP is working.
I understood that I need an active directory…but I really don’t understand or I don’t know how to search to get something that can be useful.
I need some test users to see if LDAP protocol is working...
Do you have any tutorials or documentation about this? Like, for dummies :)
Thank you
There's a public test LDAP server detailed at https://www.forumsys.com/tutorials/integration-how-to/ldap/online-ldap-test-server/
That's not Active Directory, so no good if you have a specific requirement to test Active Directory LDAP. I doubt you'd find a public Active Directory for testing -- you may be able to use a free trial of Windows Server 2019 (or free trial in MS's Azure cloud) to set up a Windows server on which you create a AD test domain.

I have been working to link my AD to G-Suit and have an auto sync established. The reason I put this here because I have had hard time to figure out everything. I am still not at the end of this procedure and I would appreciate if the skilled people would contribute to help me and I guess many others as well, on this topic.
I downloaded GCDS tool (4.5.7) and installed on a member server. Tried to go through the steps and failed, except to the first one to authenticate to Google.
Learnt: It is a Java (Sun) based product and when it come to authentication or SSL it will through errors that need to be sorted.
Step 1, Google Auth - done and very simple as long as you can logon to your GAE account
Step 2, LPAD config... this was tricky
I created a service account to use
Learnt:
You need to have the SAMS account matching with the displayname and name as well; only this way I could authenticate.
In most cases you don't need any admin rights, a domain user should be able to read the DN structure from LDAP.
I have the OU structure, but I need LDAP working on the DC (this works somehow)
Learnt:
Simple connection through port 389;
SSL would use port 636;
in most cases
GCDS only uses Simple authentication!
Learnt:
With port 389
Domain group policy needed to changed to non LDAP auth required (Domain controller: LDAP server signing requirements changed to none!) to be able to logon - this one is working and good for DEVSERV
Question: Should I use it for PRODSERV or I need to aim to use SSL?
Learnt:
With port 636 (SSL) you need a certificate
Question: I tried to add self cert based on the following article, added to the trusted cert root but Google cannot see it?
BASE DN can be read out through LDP.EXE (built in LDAP browser by MS)
Learnt:
You can add your OU you wanted doesn't have to be the root of the tree
Question: does it mean you have implemented extra security?
Step 3,Defining what data I can collect. OU and person I picked.
Learnt
Profile will collect extra information to Google, such as job title, phone etc. I only wanted them for the company signature... Well that is still not clear if this can be done. If that is not possible, I can't see the reason why I should disclose unwanted information to store on another server.
Question: Can job description be included to the Google Mail signature?
I am keep adding my finding to it as I am working through but would appreciate any input from people who managed to set it up.
Step 4, Searching in the Organisation Unit - confusing again but it is done. (More to follow.)
I am trying to configure Apache Brooklyn to use the LDAPSecurityProvider against a Windows Active Directory.
I am testing the connection with Apache Directory Studio and it works with the provided credentials.
Screenshot of Apache Directory Studio and the LDAP tree
But when I Configure Apache Brooklyn to use LDAP against the AD it does not work and creates no error logs.
My brooklyn property file is here:
brooklyn.webconsole.security.provider=org.apache.brooklyn.rest.security.provider.LdapSecurityProvider
brooklyn.webconsole.security.ldap.url=ldap://10.0.20.10:389/????X-BIND-USER=uid=StackAdmin%2cou=users,X-BIND-PASSWORD=Password123,X-COUNT-LIMIT=1000
brooklyn.webconsole.security.ldap.realm=example.com
The LDAP support is documented at http://brooklyn.apache.org/v/latest/ops/brooklyn_properties.html#ldap - your example configuration looks good (very similar to that).
However, the docs say it will then construct something like:
LDAP://cn=John Smith,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com
(With the "ou" value being configurable).
Looking at your screenshot, it seems you'd need something like that below (though it isn't expanded to see a full user example):
LDAP://cn=John Smith,cn=Users,dc=example,dc=com
Unfortunately that isn't currently supported in Brooklyn.
The workaround would be store your users under "ou" intead.
The LDAP integration code is pretty simple (and low on logging):
https://github.com/apache/incubator-brooklyn/blob/master/brooklyn-server/rest/rest-server/src/main/java/org/apache/brooklyn/rest/security/provider/LdapSecurityProvider.java
It would be reasonably easy to update the Java to support your use-case.
Do you want to either have a go at creating a pull request for that (https://github.com/apache/incubator-brooklyn/), or opening a jira issue at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BROOKLYN to describe the requirements and someone can take a look?
I had the same problem and solved it by creating my own LdapSecurityProvider for ActiveDirectory. Create a new Class which extends the org.apache.brooklyn.rest.security.provider.LdapSecurityProvider and override the getUserDN Method.
Brooklyn uses the com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory so you can find a detailed documentation under http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jndi/jndi-ldap.html
Sorry for the strange title, I can't find better description to my question.
I'm building some websites with a team of 4 persons - 2 developers and 2 testers. The developers build the page on a local apache/mysql server. Every now and then they upload a snapshot of what they have done to a dedicated server, that serves the files with htaccess basic authentification to the testers.
Are there better solutions for this workflow? I would like to have more security for this whole thing. The snapshots of the website often show debug-/development info, that shouldn't be seen by public eyes.
Something like a different port of the apache server... ? Any suggestions?
I think other way is to use Git or some other versioning system for deployment, so only new code will be added and you can disable showing of these debug informations permanently in some file which will not be overwritten.
OR
You can use some cloud service like getpantheon.com (for Drupal). It could provide you good environment for testing.
My company has a MediaWiki setup which we are looking to make [partially] client accessible. Ideally each client would be able to see only their own page. Our wiki requires the user to be logged into view or edit, and we have the LDAP plugin (This one, specifically) so we can use our Active Directory credentials.
I see this question has come up before a few years ago, but I didn't see an question dealing with LDAP in particular. Can we manage a specific AD account if we give clients one on our domain for this purpose? Alternatively, is there a way to give clients a login directly into the wiki (sort of like logging locally into the computer, instead of the domain), that we could control the access rights of?
For reference: we are on MediaWiki version 1.19.1, PHP version 5.3.15, MySQL version 5.0.96-winx64, and the installation is running on Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 (IIS 7.5).
Thanks very much for the help!
You can use local accounts in addition to the LDAP accounts to log users in. You have to set $wgLDAPUseLocal to true in your LocalSettings.php. Basically, it adds another option to the domain drop down box on the login form that says "local". Users that want to log in with a local wiki account use that. I would also disable account creation on the wiki and create accounts manually for your clients.
Regardless of whether you use local accounts or AD accounts, for page-level access control, you would have to use one of these extensions. Extension:AccessControl seems to be a popular one.
One of my clients wants to know why a user can not log in to the portal.
The portal uses the client's LDAP.
Is there a tool/command to run against their Active Directory which will spit out details of the configured user such as permissions/granted hosts and etc?
