The LDAP Authorization plugin allows for StatusNet to handle authorization through LDAP. Installation ============ add "addPlugin('ldapAuthorization', array('setting'=>'value', 'setting2'=>'value2', ...);" to the bottom of your config.php You *cannot* use this plugin without the LDAP Authentication plugin Settings ======== provider_name*: This is a identifier designated to the connection. It's how StatusNet will refer to the authentication source. For the most part, any name can be used, so long as each authentication source has a different identifier. In most cases there will be only one authentication source used. authoritative (false): should this plugin be authoritative for authorization? uniqueMember_attribute ('uniqueMember')*: the attribute of a group that lists the DNs of its members roles_to_groups: array that maps StatusNet roles to LDAP groups some StatusNet roles are: moderator, administrator, sandboxed, silenced login_group: if this is set to a group DN, only members of that group will be allowed to login The below settings must be exact copies of the settings used for the corresponding LDAP Authentication plugin. host*: LDAP server name to connect to.
