Impostazioni LDAP
From LimeSurvey Manual
Informazioni generali
Devi abilitare il supporto LDAP in config.php e configurare i parametri LDAP in config/ldap.php per utilizzare questa funzione.
Abilitazione di LDAP in config.php
- $enableLdap: se si desidera utilizzare le funzioni LDAP in LimeSurvey, è necessario impostare questo parametro su true (è impostato su false per impostazione predefinita):
'config'=>array( 'debug'=>0, 'debugsql'=>0, 'enableLdap'=>true, )
Definizione dei server LDAP
Per prima cosa definire le opzioni di connessione al server LDAP in "application/config/ldap.php". Per ogni server sono disponibili le seguenti opzioni:
- $serverId: Un numero intero che identifica questo server LDAP. Viene utilizzato nelle definizioni delle query per associare un server a una query specifica;
- $ldap_server [ $idserver] [ 'server']: L'indirizzo IP o il nome DNS del server LDAP. Se utilizzi connessioni protette SSL (LDAP o LDAP+Start-TLS), questo nome deve corrispondere al CN certificato del server (o SubjectAlternativeName);
- $ldap_server [ $idserver] [ 'protoversion']: Può essere 'ldapv2' o 'ldapv3' a seconda del protocollo supportato dal tuo server. 'ldapv3' è il protocollo preferito. Tuttavia, se desideri utilizzare connessioni crittografate, tieni presente che LDAP è supportato in modalità 'ldapv2' mentre Start-TLS è il metodo di crittografia per 'ldapv3';
- $ldap_server [ $idserver] [ 'encrypt']: Definisce il metodo di crittografia utilizzato. 'ldaps' è supportato per i server 'ldav2', 'start-tls' per i server 'ldapv3'. La parola chiave 'none' viene utilizzata per le comunicazioni LDAP in chiaro;
- Non dimenticare che per la crittografia 'ldaps' o 'start-tls', il server web deve essere in grado di controllare il certificato del server LDAP. Quindi, devi definire la tua Autorità di Certificazione nella tua libreria openldap (di solito questo viene fatto nel file /etc/openldap/ldap.conf sotto linux).
- $ldap_server [ $idserver] [ 'referrals']: È un parametro booleano che definisce se i referral devono essere seguiti o meno (usa false per ActiveDirectory);
- $ldap_server [ $idserver] [ 'encoding']: È un parametro opzionale che fornisce la codifica utilizzata dalla directory LDAP per memorizzare le stringhe. Di solito non è necessario impostare questo parametro poiché la codifica presunta predefinita, 'utf-8', è la codifica standard per le directory LDAP. Tuttavia, se utilizzi Active Directory e riscontri problemi nell'importazione di stringhe accentuate, prova a impostare questo parametro sulla codifica utilizzata nella tua zona (ad esempio "cp850" per l'Europa occidentale). Puoi fare riferimento all'elenco a discesa "Set di caratteri del file" nella GUI Importa token da file CSV per avere l'elenco completo delle codifiche supportate.
Successivamente, è necessario definire quale autenticazione è necessaria per ottenere l'accesso alla directory. Se è consentito l'accesso 'anonimo', NON impostare i due seguenti parametri, altrimenti impostarli di conseguenza:
- $ldap_server [ $idserver] [ 'binddn']: DN dell'utente 'LDAP' a cui è consentito leggere la directory;
- $ldap_server [ $idserver] [ 'bindpw']: Password per l'utente LDAP di cui sopra.
If you need to define other LDAP servers, add the following line to increment the serverID and define new parameters:
- $serverId++.
Defining queries in config/ldap.php
Caution: when an ldap attribute name is required in one of these parameters, only use lower case names: for instance displayname and NOT displayName.
Please refer to the config/ldap.php file as it contains samples configuration.
Simple Queries
Let's begin with simples queries. These queries only filter LDAP entries based on their own attributes and location. They are usually enough for querying ActiveDirectory.
- $query_id: is the id of the LDAP query;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['ldapServerId']: Binds the query to a specific server;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['name']: String describing the query. It will be displayed in the GUI;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['userbase']: Root DN to use for user searches;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['userfilter']: It is a filter used to select potential users' entries. It must be enclosed in parentheses;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['userscope']: scope of the LDAP search for users ('base', 'one' or 'sub');
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['firstname_attr']: Ldap attribute that will be mapped to the Firstname field of the token entry;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['lastname_attr']: Ldap attribute that will be mapped to the Lastname field of the token entry;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['email_attr']: Ldap attribute that will be mapped to the email address field of the token entry.
Optionally, you can retrieve more information from the directory:
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['token_attr']: Ldap attribute that will be mapped to the token code;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['language']: Ldap attribute that will be mapped to the user language code;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['attr1']: Ldap attribute that will be mapped to the attribute_1 field;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['attr2']: Ldap attribute that will be mapped to the attribute_2 field.
Combined Group Queries with DN members
Let's now see how to define a more complicated query.
The following queries use a first LDAP search that looks into LDAP groups. An LDAP group is an LDAP entry containing references to users' entries in the form of:
- user ids (for instance posixGroups do) ==> See the next section
- Or user DNs (for instance groupofnames and groupofuniquenames do) ==> see below
Here we deal with groups containing user DNs:
- define $query_id, $ldap_queries[$query_id]['ldapServerId'], $ldap_queries[$query_id]['name'] as explained above.
Then define the group filter parameters:
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['groupbase']: The Root DN from which you want to start searching for group entries;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['groupfilter']: The LDAP filter that will select potential group entries;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['groupscope']: The scope of the LDAP search for groups ('on', 'base' or 'sub');
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['groupmemberattr']: The Name of the LDAP attribute in the group entry that will contain references to users' entries;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['groupmemberisdn']: TRUE.
At this point, everything is set up to let the first LDAP search find users corresponding to the selected groups. However, you can restrict which of these "user candidates" will be selected by applying another filter on them. This is, of course, optional:
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['userbase']: Base DN for the user LDAP search (only user candidate matching this base) will be selected;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['userscope']: Scope for the user LDAP search (only user candidate matching the userbase+scope) will be selected;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['userfilter']: It is a filter that applies to each user candidate entry (on its attributes) to add another selection.
Combined Group Queries with UID members
Let's now see how to define a combined Group query when group members are user UIDs and not User DNs.
As for the Group queries with DNs members, these queries use a first LDAP search that looks for LDAP groups entries and get their members. These members values are then used in a user search filter to search for corresponding entries. Thus another parameter must be configured to define the user attribute in the user's entry that should match the member UID found in the groups.
Let's review the required parameters:
- define $query_id, $ldap_queries[$query_id]['ldapServerId'], $ldap_queries[$query_id]['name'] as explained above
Then define the group filter parameters:
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['groupbase']: The Root DN from which you want to start searching for group entries;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['groupfilter']: The LDAP filter that will select potential group entries;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['groupscope']: The scope of the LDAP search for groups ('on', 'base' or 'sub');
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['groupmemberattr']: The name of the LDAP attribute in the group entry that will contain references to users' entries;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['groupmemberisdn']: FALSE;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['useridattr']: name of the user attribute that must match the UID found in the group members.
At this point everything is set up to let the first LDAP search find users UIDs corresponding to selected groups and a user search filter will be automatically filled.
However, you can restrict which of these 'user candidates' will be selected by completing the automatic user filter computed from member UIDs. This is, of course, optional:
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['userbase']: Base DN for the user LDAP search (only user candidate matching this base) will be selected;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['userscope']: Scope for the user LDAP search (only user candidate matching the userbase+scope) will be selected;
- $ldap_queries[$query_id]['userfilter']: It is a filter that applies to each user candidate entry (on its attributes) to add another selection.
What about Active Directory?
Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft registry that can be queried by using the LDAP protocol.
It is then possible to use its content for LimeSurvey token queries, but this requires knowledge on how AD is organized.
- The LDAP root base is dc=my_windows_domain_name,dc=dns_suffix2,dc=dns_suffix1
==> For instance, if your company owns the DNS domain 'my-company.com' and your Windows domain is 'employees', then your root base is dc=employees,dc=my-company,dc=com
- Users and users-groups are stored below the cn=Users,dc=my_windows_domain_name,dc=dns_suffix2,dc=dns_suffix1 (please note this is not ou=users);
- Active Directory Groups:
- Groups objects contain DN of members in their 'member' attribute;
- Group memberships are also stored in the memberOf attribute of each user entry. This attribute contains DNs of groups the user belongs to;
- some groups are in CN=Builtin,dc=my_windows_domain_name,dc=dns_suffix2,dc=dns_suffix1:
- For instance: cn=Administrator,CN=Builtin,dc=my_windows_domain_name,dc=dns_suffix2,dc=dns_suffix1;
In some cases it is not as easy to query an active directory so here is a sample configuration for getting some infomations of an active directory:
//Connection to the active directory Server:
$serverId=0;
$ldap_server[$serverId]['server'] = "10.10.10.10";
$ldap_server[$serverId]['port'] = "389";
$ldap_server[$serverId]['protoversion'] = "ldapv2";
$ldap_server[$serverId]['encrypt'] = "none"; // Most AD LDAP servers will not have encryption set by default
$ldap_server[$serverId]['referrals'] = false;
$ldap_server[$serverId]['binddn'] = "domain\\user";
$ldap_server[$serverId]['bindpw'] = "userpassword";
//$ldap_server[$serverId]['binddn'] = "CN=user,OU=user_group,DC=xxx,DC=yyy"; this one will not work with active directory, that´s why you need to use "domain\\user"
//Here is a sample query for getting all active users of an active directory:
$query_id=0;
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['ldapServerId'] = 0;
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['name'] = 'Staff with an enabled account';
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['userbase'] = 'OU=USER_GROUP,DC=xxx,DC=yyy';
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['userfilter'] = '(&(objectClass=user)(!(userAccountControl=514)))';
//(!(userAccountControl=514)) you are not able to ask active directory for an active user but you are able to ask for a non inactive user
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['userscope'] = 'sub';
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['firstname_attr'] = 'givenname';
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['lastname_attr'] = 'sn';
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['email_attr'] = 'mail';
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['token_attr'] = ''; // Leave empty for Auto Token generation by phpsv
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['language'] = '';
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['attr1'] = '';
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['attr2'] = '';
//Group filtering was not possible in active directory, you need to add the memberOf attribute of an user. Here is a sample query for getting all active users that are member of the group "samplegroup" in active directory:
$query_id++;
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['ldapServerId'] = 0;
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['name'] = 'All members of samplegroup';
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['userbase'] = 'OU=USER_GROUP,DC=xxx,DC=yyy';
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['userfilter'] = '(&(objectClass=user)(memberOf=CN=samplegroup,OU=Group Global,OU=USER_GROUP,DC=xxx,DC=yyy)(!(userAccountControl=514)))';
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['userscope'] = 'sub';
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['firstname_attr'] = 'givenname';
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['lastname_attr'] = 'sn';
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['email_attr'] = 'mail';
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['token_attr'] = ''; // Leave empty for Auto Token generation by phpsv
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['language'] = '';
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['attr1'] = '';
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['attr2'] = '';
Another example User query:
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['userfilter'] = '(&('''objectCategory=Person''')(objectClass='''user''')(!('''userAccountControl=514''')))'; // AD doesn't recognise enabled accounts in the normal way, so instead, we check users are not disabled
- As suggested in the config file, consider adding (!(email=*)) to your user filters to ignore users with no email address.
Example group query:
$ldap_queries[$query_id]['groupfilter'] = '(&(objectClass='''group''')(cn=Domain Admins))'; // AD doesn't use the standard attribute name for groups, so use this example instead.
