sinopia-altldap

Alternative to sinopia-ldap which doesn't require an ldap admin account. If you can perform a bind against the configured ldap url, you are granted access.

Installation

$ npm install sinopia
$ npm install sinopia-altldap

Config

Add to your config.yaml:

auth:
  altldap:
    type: ldap
    domain: example.com
    client_options:
      url: "ldaps://ldap.example.com"
      tlsOptions:
        rejectUnauthorized: False

If the domain option is supplied it is appended to the username so that users don't have to type the full <user>@<domain> to login.

client_options are passed directly to ldap.createClient.

For plugin writers

It's called as:

require('sinopia-altldap')(config, stuff)

Where:

• config - module's own config
• stuff - collection of different internal sinopia objects
  • stuff.config - main config
  • stuff.logger - logger

This should export two functions:

• adduser(user, password, cb)

  It should respond with:

  • cb(err) in case of an error (error will be returned to user)
  • cb(null, false) in case registration is disabled (next auth plugin will be executed)
  • cb(null, true) in case user registered successfully

  It's useful to set err.status property to set http status code (e.g. err.status = 403).

• authenticate(user, password, cb)

  It should respond with:

  • cb(err) in case of a fatal error (error will be returned to user, keep those rare)
  • cb(null, false) in case user not authenticated (next auth plugin will be executed)
  • cb(null, [groups]) in case user is authenticated

  Groups is an array of all users/usergroups this user has access to. You should probably include username itself here.
