Enable LDAP Authentication on Mattermost

[nj]

Mattermost self-hosted supports LDAP authentication. Is there a reason it was not added during the app packaging? https://docs.mattermost.com/configure/configuration-settings.html#ad-ldap

Is there a possibility to publish a quick update of the app by simply adding LDAP addon to the manifest?

Hi @nj,
that feature is (even self hosted) only part of the payed for professional edition of Mattermost. https://mattermost.com/pricing/

Thank you for confirming. I tried some other features in the Professional plans, and they didn't work, so there's no way ldap would work.

@nj it’s not free, but you can make it work with a workaround. I had to adjust an existing project, but it works now. I put together my changes here, hope it helps:

GitHub - terehov/Mattermost-LDAP: This module provides an external LDAP authentication in Mattermost for the Team Edition (free).
