Prerequisites

To set up LDAP efficiently, you need to acquire the relevant information for the

domain you are authenticating against.

Contact your organization's staff to receive the necessary information. This

should include:

* The servers available to you (hostname, port, encryption preference)

* The binding method (service account including credentials, if necessary)

* If applicable, the structure of the data you are trying to sync, e.g.

sAMAccountName is the unique name attribute for your Active Directory.

### Requirements

The following requirements need to be met for you to work with any of the LDAP

modules.

* PHP version 5.6.

* PHP LDAP extension.

==================================================================================

 Installation instructions:

==================================================================================

1) Download the LDAP module as you would any other.

2) Go to admin/build/modules and enable the needed modules from the

   Lightweight Directory Access Protocol group.

3) Enable and configure ldap servers and configure at least one server.

4) Enable the other LDAP modules you need.

5) LDAP Help is just for debugging and administrator help. Use it if you have

problems. Disable it in production; it adds no functionality or end user help.

 Configuration overrides

If you need to selectively disable LDAP functionality and cannot disable the

modules, use configuration overrides, such as the following in settings.php and

clearing your cache afterwards.

// Disable the server you are syncing users from LDAP to Drupal.

$conf['ldap_user_conf']['drupalAcctProvisionServer'] = 0;

// Disable LDAP authentication.

$conf['ldap_authentication_conf']['sids'] = [];

// Set bind DN and bind password for service account.

$conf['ldap_servers_overrides']['my_server']['binddn'] = 'my_dn';

$conf['ldap_servers_overrides']['my_server']['bindpw'] = 'my_password';

IMPORTANT: These overrides will change the data in your admin forms, saving them

will save them permanently in the database.
