LDAPAuthentication
It is possible to authenticate your users against an LDAP database instead the internal rapla-users.
Assuming you have your users stored in a LDAP Database in the following format.
# Define a user entry for Janet Jones
dn: uid=jjones,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
uid: jjones
sn: jones
cn: janet jones
mail: j.jones@example.com
userPassword: secret
you need to add the following configuration entry in plugin options, assuming a LDAP-Server is running on the same host ({{localhost}}) and the connection-password is {{secret}}. Go to the admin/preferences/plugin and enable the LDAP Plugin with the following entries:
connectionName: uid=admin,ou=system
connectionPassword: secret
connectionURL: ldap://localhost:10389
userPassword: userPassword
userMail: mail
userCn: cn
userSearch: (uid={0})
userBase: dc=mycompany,dc=com

You can test the connection by pressing the "test access" button. You will be prompted for a login. Please enter the login information of a user that is in the LDAP directory and should be able to login into Rapla. If the test succeeds you can enable the plugin and restart Rapla.
