Question

I am trying to authenticate user against LDAP by using ldapauth-fork. I am having a problem with LDAP Admin account, while I know that it is right and works fine with LDAP b

Answer 1

Try using the activedirectory2 library over npm, I tried with ldapauth-form but could get a successful result

It has a number of functions to get work done such as

• authenticate
• findUser

Config code

const AD = require('activedirectory2').promiseWrapper;
const config = { url: 'ldap://dc.domain.com',
           baseDN: 'dc=domain,dc=com',
           username: 'username@domain.com',
           password: 'password' }
const ad = new AD(config);

for #authenticate

var ad = new ActiveDirectory(config);
var username = 'john.smith@domain.com';
var password = 'password';

ad.authenticate(username, password, function(err, auth) {
 if (err) {
   console.log('ERROR: '+JSON.stringify(err));
   return;
 }

if (auth) {
 console.log('Authenticated!');
}
else {
 console.log('Authentication failed!');
}
});

similarly for #finduser

// Any of the following username types can be searched on
var sAMAccountName = 'username';
var userPrincipalName = 'username@domain.com';
var dn = 'CN=Smith\\, John,OU=Users,DC=domain,DC=com';

// Find user by a sAMAccountName
var ad = new ActiveDirectory(config);
ad.findUser(sAMAccountName, function(err, user) {
if (err) {
 console.log('ERROR: ' +JSON.stringify(err));
 return;
}

if (! user) console.log('User: ' + sAMAccountName + ' not found.');
 else console.log(JSON.stringify(user));
});
