      To follow up, what you need to do is to fork the nodebb-app repo and add the LDAP addon to the manifest. Then you can install this forked app, install an LDAP NodeBB plugin into it and set it up manually.

        There was not functional ldap plugin for nodebb last I checked. Do you know if this has changed?

          @girish Last time I checked there was one iirc, I had it installed but not configured (because I didn’t know how at the time). I remember following the forking history through 3–4 repos before finding the most current one.

            @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 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.
