    I'm trying to add LDAP support myself. I've added the ldap addon to the package manifest, built and installed it. I've also installed the discourse-ldap-auth plugin. It sort of works! ๐ŸŽ‰

    Here are the settings I could figure out myself:

    2d87620f-5010-4926-95ab-d45dd404be06-bild.png

    Remaining issues:

    • For invite-only forums that only want LDAP, that setting has to be turned off. Otherwise LDAP users can't authenticate. The feature can still be achieved by
      • disabling enable local logins
      • disablling enable local logins via email
      • reenable allow new registrations (Brings back the Sign up button, but luckily (!?) it leads to LDAP login too.
    • Accounts aren't automatically created. (Not possible currently)
    • I don't know what en_US.login.ldap.name is or how to map it/fix it.
    • I don't know how to map the suggested username to the Cloudron username upon Discourse account creation. I would also want to lock it. 92ecb980-7f80-4003-a4ff-03b0b6f7cac9-bild.png
    • I don't know any other LDAP settings, I just ripped them from the Wordpress LDAP integration settings ๐Ÿ˜†
    • LDAP sign-in UI looks off-brand and dodgy, possibly signalling phishing attempt for some users.

    Any help appreciated!

      Oh, not being able to create accounts automatically is a bummer. What does it mean then? You can login via LDAP but the account has to be created with some other means? (how?)

        @girish Yeah, itโ€™s unfortunate. But itโ€™s not confirmed as it was only what the discourse-ldap-auth developer thought, so it should be investigated properly.

        The only difference is that you need to click the Create New Account button where your credentials come with pre-filled LDAP data. But any increased complexity in such user flows will always generate more support tickets for admins as another step offers another chance to screw up ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

          A general serious bug is that I can't upload Discourse backups for restoring:

          There has been an error while uploading 'backup.tar.gz': There is not enough space on disk to upload this backup.

          This is even though there's plenty of free space in the Cloudron system itself.

          Come to think of it, is it wise to have the Discourse feature of builtin automatic backups enabled by default at all?

            @yusf I can reproduce the problem, I have opened https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/discourse-app/issues/2 . AFAICT, there is no way to disable backups in discourse (atleast cannot find it in the UI)

                I think I actually saw a setting in the UI ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Iโ€™ll check it out.

                    @jdaviescoates Well, yes and no. Itโ€™s working, but not as smoothly as Iโ€™d like. I dedicated a new topic to this issue.

                      Discourse is great for forum software.
                      Flarum is an alternative solution.
