LDAP Library

To facilitate LDAP integration, Kanboard has its own LDAP library. This library can perform common operations.

Client

Class: Kanboard\Core\Ldap\Client

To connect to your LDAP server easily, use this method:

use Kanboard\Core\Ldap\Client as LdapClient;
use Kanboard\Core\Ldap\ClientException as LdapException;

try {
    $client = LdapClient::connect();

    // Get native LDAP resource
    $resource = $client->getConnection();

    // ...

} catch (LdapException $e) {
    // ...
}

LDAP Queries

Classes:

Kanboard\Core\Ldap\Query
Kanboard\Core\Ldap\Entries
Kanboard\Core\Ldap\Entry

Example to query the LDAP directory:

$query = new Query($client)
$query->execute('ou=People,dc=kanboard,dc=local', 'uid=my_user', array('cn', 'mail'));

if ($query->hasResult()) {
    $entries = $query->getEntries(); // Return an instance of Entries
}

Read one entry:

$firstEntry = $query->getEntries()->getFirstEntry();
$email = $firstEntry->getFirstValue('mail');
$name = $firstEntry->getFirstValue('cn', 'Default Name');

Read multiple entries:

foreach ($query->getEntries()->getAll() as $entry) {
    $emails = $entry->getAll('mail'); // Fetch all emails
    $dn = $entry->getDn(); // Get LDAP DN of this user

    // Check if a value is present for an attribute
    if ($entry->hasValue('mail', 'user2@localhost')) {
        // ...
    }
}

User Helper

Class: Kanboard\Core\Ldap\User

Fetch a single user in one line:

// Return an instance of LdapUserProvider
$user = User::getUser($client, 'my_username');

Group Helper

Class: Kanboard\Core\Ldap\Group

Fetch groups in one line:

// Define LDAP filter
$filter = '(&(objectClass=group)(sAMAccountName=My group*))';

// Return a list of LdapGroupProvider
$groups = Group::getGroups($client, $filter);
