Authentication

phpBB supports authentication plug-ins, or modules. These allow you determine how users are authenticated when they log into the board. By default four plug-ins are provided: DB, LDAP, Apache, and OAuth. Not all methods require additional information so only fill out fields if they are relevant to the selected method.

Authentication

Select an authentication method:

LDAP

LDAP server name: If using LDAP this is the hostname or IP address of the LDAP server. Alternatively you can specify an URL like ldap://hostname:port/

LDAP server port: Optionally you can specify a port which should be used to connect to the LDAP server instead of the default port 389.

LDAP base dn: This is the Distinguished Name, locating the user information, e.g. o=My Company,c=US.

LDAP uid: This is the key under which to search for a given login identity, e.g. uid, sn, etc.

LDAP user filter: Optionally you can further limit the searched objects with additional filters. For example objectClass=posixGroup would result in the use of (&(uid=$username)(objectClass=posixGroup))

LDAP email attribute: Set this to the name of your user entry email attribute (if one exists) in order to automatically set the email address for new users. Leaving this empty results in empty email address for users who log in for the first time.

LDAP user dn: Leave blank to use anonymous binding. If filled in phpBB uses the specified distinguished name on login attempts to find the correct user, e.g. uid=Username,ou=MyUnit,o=MyCompany,c=US. Required for Active Directory Servers.

LDAP password:
Leave blank to use anonymous binding, otherwise fill in the password for the above user. Required for Active Directory Servers.
Warning: This password will be stored as plain text in the database, visible to everybody who can access your database or who can view this configuration page.
