LDAP support

[tuxBurner]

Many companies use LDAP as role/authentication managment system.
It would be nice if DAVE could provide an ldap integration.

hej @tuxBurner,

first of all, thanks for the idea! I'm glad you're here. 😁

The current project goal is to create a totally simple solution for webdav. I'm not sure yet if LDAP support fulfills exactly this purpose - but I'm not very familiar with the topic either.

Technically this topic could be very interesting, but I'm not sure about it configuration complexity. Can you tell me an approximate number of configuration entries that are necessary for a LDAP connection? As soon as it needs a lot of configuration, I would move it backwards.

Does anyone else have an opinion?

Hi @chclaus
in one of my projects these are the parameters which i need to know to authenticate a user by its name and password.

host = "ldap://localhost:389"
useStartTLS = false

bind {
  user = "cn=admin,dc=monkeydev,dc=priv"
  pass = "admin"
}

user {
  baseDn = "ou=users,dc=monkeydev,dc=priv"
  filter = "uid={user}"
}
