Web Services & Authentication

Set up the LDAP authentication

Using LDAP authentication, you can fully integrate Manja into your network.

User accounts are reconciled with the LDAP server. Changes in user accounts only have to be carried out in the LDAP server and are adopted directly in Manja.
The assignment of permissions is group-based. Mapping from LDAP groups to Manja groups is defined in a configuration file.

Tip: On our page Interaction and Integration we have compiled an informative overview of all authentications and interfaces.

Activation

Back to top

The extension is activated by an entry in config.ini:

 

config.ini

[extensions]
auth_ldap=auth_ldap.ini

Insert this entry or remove the comment character (“;”) in front of the existing entry.

 

auth_ldap.ini

Edit all necessary options here. These are described in detail in the file itself. You must at least adjust the options manja_admin_username and manja_admin_password, and define at least one section “[server.1]” with connection data to the LDAP server.
