    @yusf @girish just had a quick look and it looks like this may be most recent one https://github.com/ink-blot/nodebb-plugin-node-ldap

      @imc67 Indeed, it's atleast a good start. It does have some strange code I need to look into like https://github.com/ink-blot/nodebb-plugin-node-ldap/blob/master/index.js#L74 . Why LDAP code has murmur hash, I have no clue.

        Also, the plugin doesn't work as it fails to activate. Logs later.

          @yusf said in NodeBB + Ldap = internal BB?:

          plugin doesn't work as it fails to activate

          Correction: The plugin does activate, but there's no sign of its settings pane.

          e0dceaa7-596a-4db1-983c-6792045840f1-bild.png

          From the plugin readme:

          It is possible that your linux distribution may be missing some dependencies for this plugin to work. If that is the case, try:

          sudo apt-get update && apt-get install -y ldap-utils dnsutils

          What's the status of these packages in Cloudron, @girish?

            @yusf Not sure why it needs them because it uses ldapjs 🤔

                  @yusf Not really, haven't had time to look into it. Maybe in the next 2-3 weeks. Cloudron 6 is the important priority now.

                    I want to login to nodebb by using LDAP, which plugin should I use?
                    I have tried nodebb-plugin-office-ldap and nodebb-plugin-sso-ldap, and I can't solve my problem very well.

                      @flistertwo None of the ldap plugins have been updated in a while, so one has to develop a LDAP plugin to make things work with NodeBB. https://github.com/smartameer/nodebb-plugin-office-ldap hasn't been updated in 3 years and https://github.com/ianbogda/nodebb-plugin-sso-ldap has no updates in 6 years.

                        @girish the one I shared above https://github.com/ink-blot/nodebb-plugin-node-ldap is also a little bit old (the last commit was nearly 12 months ago), but it's newer than those two.

                        I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner
