[Vtigercrm-developers] vtiger + LDAP/Active Directory

[Nicolas Larcipretti]

Guys, I've managed to use LDAP with the 5.2.1 version. I just added in the
config.inc.php this conf:

$AUTHCFG['authType'] = 'LDAP';

Then I created a file inside the Users module named
vtigerCRM/modules/Users/authTypes/LDAP.php with a function called
ldapAuthenticate($user, $password). This function returns true or false, and
Vtiger's uses this return to login or not the user. So, you can make this
function validate the user and password with your LDAP, or apply any other
login rule and return true or false if the login is valid or not. Once you
return false, Vtiger will automatically return to the login page with the
invalid user message.

Isn't this a good solution to LDAP authentication?

Cheers

Nicolas
