# phpLDAPadmin

## Presentation

phpLDAPadmin is an LDAP administration tool written in PHP.

phpLDAPadmin will connect to the directory with a static DN and password, and so will not request authentication anymore. The access to phpLDAPadmin will be protected by LemonLDAP::NG with specific access rules.

phpLDAPadmin will have no idea of the user connected to the WebSSO. So a simple user can have admin rights on the LDAP directory if your access rules are too lazy.

## Configuration

### phpLDAPadmin local configuration

Just set the authentication type to `config` and indicate DN and password inside the file `config.php`:

    $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'server','auth_type','config');
    $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'login','dn','cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com');
    $ldapservers->SetValue($i,'login','pass','secret');

### phpLDAPadmin virtual host

Configure phpLDAPadmin virtual host like other protected virtual host.

- For Apache:

    <VirtualHost *:80>
           ServerName phpldapadmin.example.com

           PerlHeaderParserHandler Lemonldap::NG::Handler

           ...

    </VirtualHost>

- For Nginx:

    server {
      listen 80;
      server_name phpldapadmin.example.com;
      root /path/to/application;
      # Internal authentication request
      location = /lmauth {
        internal;
        include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/llng-fastcgi-server/llng-fastcgi.sock;
        # Drop post datas
        fastcgi_pass_request_body  off;
        fastcgi_param CONTENT_LENGTH "";
        # Keep original hostname
        fastcgi_param HOST $http_host;
        # Keep original request (LLNG server will received /llauth)
        fastcgi_param X_ORIGINAL_URI  $request_uri;
      }

      # Client requests
      location / {
        auth_request /lmauth;
        auth_request_set $lmremote_user $upstream_http_lm_remote_user;
        auth_request_set $lmlocation $upstream_http_location;
        error_page 401 $lmlocation;
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;

        ...

        include /etc/lemonldap-ng/nginx-lua-headers.conf;
      }
      location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
      }
    }

### phpLDAPadmin virtual host in Manager

Go to the Manager and create a new virtual host for phpLDAPadmin.

Just configure the access rules.

No headers are required.
