Authenticate to Multiple LDAP servers

A single installation of FileCloud can authenticate against multiple LDAP servers.

Enable multiple LDAP server authentication

To enable multiple LDAP server authentication, configure settings in the following places:

• ldapconfig.php file

• FileCloud admin portal

To enable multiple AD server authentication:

1. In the FileCloud admin portal, go to Settings > Authentication.

2. To enable the LDAP settings, under Authentication Settings, change the Authentication Type to LDAP.

3. Select the LDAP sub-tab, type in the required information, and then click Save.

4. Create a file called ldapconfig.php in one of the following locations, depending on your OS:

   Windows Location 
   c:\xampp\htdocs\config\ldapconfig.php 
   
   Linux Location 
   /var/www/htdocs/config/ldapconfig.php
   

5. Add the information for the other LDAP servers using the following example.   Do not add information for the same LDAP server that was already configured in Admin Dashboard.

   <?php

   // ... Multi-AD Server Support, set to 1 to enable additional AD servers
   define("TONIDOCLOUD_MULTI_LDAP_ENABLE", 1);
   //=============== SITE 1 ==============================
   define("TONIDOCLOUD_LDAP_HOST_1", "ldap.mycompany.com" ); // < LDAP Server Host
   define("TONIDOCLOUD_LDAP_PORT_1", 389 ); // < LDAP Server port
   define("TONIDOCLOUD_LDAP_ACCOUNTNAME_1", "cn=admin,dc=mycompany,dc=com"); // < Account name for Admin Operations
   define("TONIDOCLOUD_LDAP_ACCOUNTPASSWORD_1", "3lkjASdf9802"); // < Account Password for Admin Operations
   define("TONIDOCLOUD_LDAP_USERDNTEMPLATE_1", "cn=^NAME^,ou=MyCompnay-Support,dc=mycompany,dc=com"); // < USer DN template
   define("TONIDOCLOUD_LDAP_SEARCHDN_1", "ou=MyCompany-Support,dc=mycompany,dc=com"); // < USer DN template
   define("TONIDOCLOUD_LDAP_USERFILTERTEMPLATE_1", "(&(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)(cn=^NAME^))"); // < USer DN template
   define("TONIDOCLOUD_LDAP_MAILATTRIBUTE_1", "mail"); // < Mail Attribute
   
   ?>

   Now additional users from these domains can also log in into FileCloud.
