<![CDATA[Status LDAP integration?]]>Hi @nebulon I was curious for the status of the LDAP integration as mentioned in the Cloudron App Store since first publish date:

Currently Cloudron user-management is not possible due to LDAP requirements. We are working with FreeScout to get those solved, then the optional LDAP module can be purchased and used.

When LDAP is solved, will SSO also work?

BTW thanks for having this app on Cloudron, we used it already for months on another host and last week migrating everything to the Cloudron app went fine.

Kind regards,

Marcel

Tomorrow morning I’ll migrate two instances!

Freescout matches users by email, so it would merge the user profiles from LDAP and built-in. The process is as follows:

  1. update your current instance to latest version
  2. install LDAP module and activate on old version (if not done already, this can also be done later but since the license key does not work multiple times, this is the safer option)
  3. create a fresh backup after LDAP module activation
  4. Install a fresh FreeScout app instance on your Cloudron
  5. Import the latest backup of your old installation into this app
  6. Login to new app and verify things are working
  7. You can now uninstall the old app instance and probably relocate the new one to the old domain

@nebulon would be great to migrate our freescout instance also!

I think I wait with ours until you have experienced 😀

I guess you could try to update your existing, then install a new instance and import a backup from the other into that.
I am not sure though what really happens if user account emails would clash between old and LDAP users in Freescout.

The app can be installed with cloudron usermanagement now, however that feature only works if the Freescout LDAP module is also purchased. Once it is activated, just restart the app and it should work.

In order to use this, a fresh FreeScout instance has to be installed!

They have managed to fix this upstream, so I am trying to work out how we can test this with maybe a test license for package updates...once that is resolved we can finally push a package which supports LDAP 🙂

You can only install an module if you have the license key for it. The env's used by an module can be stored in configuration files beforehand. Usage is therefore opt-in and does not affect normal cloudron users without a license.

I like their concept and price model very much and it was easy for me to buy a few (lifetime) module licenses.

If so, is the idea to install with Cloudron authentication and then make the user put in license key for things to start working? Or is it that we cannot put the code at all in the docker image?

Also, the closest we have like this is Confluence.

I am currently fixing up the autoconfiguration and then we can enable optional LDAP support in the package. Of course though this is then a bit special, since installing the app with user management integration also means one has to purchase the FreeScout LDAP plugin afterwards.
I don't think we have any app in our library following that approach for the moment.

I cloned your ldap branch and started testing two days ago. Thank you for the commitment and the effort!

I don't fully understand all the code paths yet, but I reached out to the upstream devs again to hopefully get this sorted out in a proper way.

I will keep this thread updated on the progress.

Sadly the Freescout documentation says PHP 7.3 and below is required because of ldap_control_paged_result() 😞 I will keep testing with the Freescout app and report back.

It would be more than welcome as it is confusing for users to have a “non-synchronized” account for this much much used app.

I have Freescout installed within LAMP but want to switch to the Cloudron app because of automatic updates and user management within Cloudron.

Edit: Changelog for the LDAP module --> https://freescout.net/module/ldap/?changelog=1

In particular on Cloudron an app gets an ldap admin bind account allocated, which allows the app to list users. In FreeScout this bind/admin account needs to have the same DN (essentially LDAP term for namespace) as users. This is not the case on Cloudron to not mix users and app specific accounts.

I will provide them with feedback, but I am not too hopeful to get this resolved quickly.
