NodeBB + Ldap = internal BB?
-
Has anyone here on Cloudron experience to use NodeBB with LDAP, all data only for LDAP users and no external signup?
This way I guess it must be possible to use it like a kind of “intranet BB”?
-
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
@jdaviescoates @girish this looks indeed a good solution!

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

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. -

@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.
