clj-ldap-auth

A library that provides authentication via an LDAP server

Installation

Add the following dependency to your project.clj file:

[clj-ldap-auth "0.1.1"]

Example

(require '[clj-ldap-auth.ldap :as ldap])

(if (ldap/bind? username password)
  (do something-great)
  (unauthorised))

Optionally, you can also pass in a function that will be called with the reason for any authentication failure (or exception):

(let [reason (atom nil)]
  (if (ldap/bind? username password #(reset! reason %1))
    (do something-great)
    (unauthorised @reason)))

Then start your app with the appropriate system properties set:

java -Dauth.hostname=ldap.mydomain.com \
     -Dauth.basedn=dc=mydomain,dc=com \
     my.program

Configuration

All relevant configuration properties can be set via system properties (i.e. java -D...). The following parameters are required:

• auth.hostname - The hostname of your LDAP server.

• auth.basedn - The base DN in which to search for user ids.

The following parameters are optional:

• auth.port - The port on which to connect to the LDAP server. Defaults to 636.

• auth.ssl - Should the connection to the LDAP server use SSL. Defaults to true.

• auth.binddn - The DN with which to bind to the LDAP server to look up usernames.

• auth.bindpw - The password for the binddn.
