It could be great to have a ldap authentification plugin that give back principal with group details, that could then be use to whitelist an api.

Currently we are working on LDAP Plugin which authenticate user using Bind Authentication. We still defining the scope of the LDAP plugin and Authorization going to be part of it eventually.

@shashiranjan84 How would this integrate with Consumer? Or would it be a replacement?

[shashiranjan84]

@ambrons So far the plugin implementation validate user using the credential(username:password) sent in the request against the LDAP server using Bind Authentication and cache the credential for future use.

Please give it a try if possible https://github.com/Mashape/kong/tree/plugin/ldap
