Package: ldapgroups
This is an AuthenticatorPlugin that implements a read-only GroupFolder reflecting the groups
as defined on an LDAP server. It relies on the registration as a named ILDAPAuthentation utility
of an ldappas plugin. It works in tandem with ldappas: ldappas authenticates users, while
ldapgroups looks up their groups and adds the users to the groupsSetup>>> from ldappas.authentication import LDAPAuthentication
>>> from zope import component
>>> from ldappas.interfaces import ILDAPAuthentication>>> users = LDAPAuthentication()
>>> component.provideUtility(users, ILDAPAuthentication, 'ldap-users')LDAPAuthentication needs an LDAP adapter, registered as a named ILDAPAdapter utility.
There’s a fake one in the tests module.>>> from ldapgroups.tests.fakeadapter import FakeLDAPAdapter
>>> adapter = FakeLDAPAdapter()
>>> from ldapadapter.interfaces import ILDAPAdapter
>>> component.provideUtility(adapter, ILDAPAdapter, 'ldap-adapter')Let’s configure the LDAPAuthentication plugin:>>> users.adapterName = u'ldap-adapter'
>>> users.searchBase = u'ou=users,dc=test'
>>> users.searchScope = u'sub'
>>> users.loginAttribute = u'cn'
>>> users.principalIdPrefix = u'ldap.'
>>> users.titleAttribute = u'sn'There’s no need to fill in the group-related attributes on the LDAPAuthentication plugin,
as LDAPGroups uses its own. For the idAttribute, you should use the attribute that yields
the Distinguished Name of the user, as LDAP uses this to link users to groups:>>> users.idAttribute = u'dn'(For ActiveDirectory, this apparently is ‘distinguishedName’, so use an LDAP browser to check)
There may be a way around this restriction with advanced queries, but is not (yet?) implemented.Let’s get our LDAP GroupFolder up and running>>> from ldapgroups.groupfolder import LDAPGroups
>>> groups = LDAPGroups(u'ldap-users', u'group.ldap.')
>>> groups.groupsSearchBase = u'ou=groups,dc=test'
>>> groups.groupsSearchScope = u'sub'
>>> groups.groupTitleAttribute = u'cn'
>>> groups.groupIdAttribute = u'dn'
>>> groups.groupDescriptionAttribute = u'description'Do some registration tests>>> groups.getLDAPAuthenticator() == users

>>> users.getLDAPAdapter() == adapter
TrueGroups can’t authenticate>>> groups.authenticateCredentials({'login':u'Domain Users','password':u'pwd'}) is None

>>> from zope.pluggableauth.interfaces import IPrincipalInfo
>>> IPrincipalInfo.providedBy(principal)
