ATK Howto: Using LDAP to authenticate users

Below you'll find a short example of configuring an ATK application for using LDAP authentication. Also (if LDAP authentication fails) the normal authentication using the password in the database is used.

$config_authentication = "ldap,db";

This makes the users authenticate against an LDAP server. If they are not found there, or the password doesn't match, the application will try to authenticate against the database. If you only want to authenticate against LDAP, use "ldap" instead of "ldap,db".

$config_auth_ldap_host           = "127.0.0.1"; //ip of ldap server
$config_auth_ldap_context        = "ou=somevalue,dc=somevalue,dc=nl";
$config_auth_ldap_search_filter  = "uid";

The context and search filter depend on your ldap setup. Consult the administrator of the ldap server to get the values of ou and dc.
