Working With Rails

Active Ldap

= ActiveLdap plugin for Ruby on Rails

Setup

You need to write RAILS_ROOT/config/ldap.yml like the following:

development:
  host: 127.0.0.1
  port: 389
  base: dc=devel,dc=local,dc=net
  bind_dn: cn=admin,dc=local,dc=net
  password: secret

test:
  host: 127.0.0.1
  port: 389
  base: dc=test,dc=local,dc=net
  bind_dn: cn=admin,dc=local,dc=net
  password: secret

production:
  host: 127.0.0.1
  port: 389
  base: dc=production,dc=local,dc=net
  bind_dn: cn=admin,dc=local,dc=net
  password: secret

Model

Here is some examples.

app/model/member.rb: class Member < ActiveLdap::Base ldap_mapping :dn_attribute => ‘uid’, :classes => [‘person’, ‘posixAccount’] belongs_to :primary_group, :class => “Group”, :foreign_key => “gidNumber”, :primary_key => “gidNumber” belongs_to :groups, :many => ‘memberUid’ end

app/model/group.rb: class Group < ActiveLdap::Base ldap_mapping :dn_attribute => “cn”, :classes => [‘posixGroup’] has_many :members, :wrap => “memberUid” has_many :primary_members, :foreign_key => ‘gidNumber’, :primary_key => ‘gidNumber’ end

app/model/ou.rb: class Ou < ActiveLdap::Base ldap_mapping :prefix => ””, :classes => [“top”, “organizationalUnit”] end
