What is symphonyextensions.com?

Symphony Extensions tracks Symphony CMS extensions that are hosted on Github.

How do I submit an extension?

Host your extension on Github and make sure the repository has a good README and an extension.meta.xml file. Then sign in to this site using your GitHub profile where you will see a list of your public repositories. Pick one, and add it to the site. When you make changes, just update the XML file in your repository and we do the rest.

What is an extension.meta.xml file?

It is an XML file that you add to your repository to describe your extension. You can include a name and description, developer contact details, version history, changelog, dependencies and more. Please read the documentation for a full list. You can use the lint tool to check your XML against the schema before submitting your extension to the site.

Readme

LDAP Authors

Version: 0.3
Author: Ben Passmore
Build Date: 2011-10-05
Requirements: Symphony 2.2.3

Description

Allows LDAP users to login to the administration section of symphony. If an administrative users credentials fail, the LDAP Authors extension attempts to authenticate to the configured LDAP server. If successful the extension queries the authors table to find the authors details. If the author does not exist (ie: first time the LDAP user has logged in) the extension searches the LDAP server for the necessary details and adds the author.

Usage

Add the ldap_authors folder to your Extensions directory
Enable the extension from the Extensions page
Configure LDAP settings found in your manifest/config.php

Configuration

server the LDAP server IP or Hostname. e.g. ldap.example.com
port the LDAP server's port. Defaults to 389
protocol_version the LDAP protocol version. Defaults to version 3
basedn the Basedn path for your LDAP environment
filterdn the filter path for LDAP user lookup. e.g. cn=%username%. Note: this string must contain %username% to search for the target user
first_name_key the users first name LDAP key. e.g. givenname
last_name_key the users last name LDAP key. e.g. sn
email_key the users email LDAP key. e.g. mail
default_author_type the default author type of new LDAP users

Known issues

changing an authors username and/or password is not possible, as this will de-associate the author from your LDAP environment

Version history

Requires Symphony 2.2.3
