I need to auth windows AD users recently. The scenario is below
- Web pages runs at Server A ( Vue + vue-router )
- Api interface runs at Server B ( node + express )
- User input AD username & pwd on Web pages (Server A)
- pass the username & pwd to the api interface on Server B to auth
- Server B auth username & pwd via LDAP(windwos AD)
- api on Server B returns the feedback to Web pages (Server A)
So, is there any solution could be implemented on Server B to auth username & pwd via LDAP?
Great thx!
I have used nodesspi https://github.com/abbr/nodesspi.
But it is only for windows env. And it seems that u can get the results via browser only to visit server B directly. Not passing param to call api on server B.
Anyway, it is a good scenario to study for me.
I found the solution. refer to:
Node JS LDAP Auth User
var ldap = require('ldapjs');
var client = ldap.createClient({
url: 'ldap://ldapserver:port/',
timeout: 5000,
connectTimeout: 10000
});
var opts = {
filter: '(&(cn=*))',
scope: 'sub',
// This attribute list is what broke your solution
attributes:['SamAccountName','dn']
};
console.log('--- going to try to connect user ---');
try {
client.bind(username, password, function (error) { //first need to bind
if(error){
console.log(error.message);
client.unbind(function(error) {if(error){console.log (error.message);} else{console.log('client disconnected');}});
} else {
console.log('connected');
client.search('ou=users, ou=compton, dc=batman, dc=com', opts, function(error, search) {
console.log('Searching.....');
search.on('searchEntry', function(entry) {
if(entry.object){
console.log('entry: %j ' + JSON.stringify(entry.object));
}
client.unbind(function(error) {if(error){console.log(error.message);} else{console.log('client disconnected');}});
});
search.on('error', function(error) {
console.error('error: ' + error.message);
client.unbind(function(error) {if(error){console.log(error.message);} else{console.log('client disconnected');}});
});
}
});
} catch(error){
console.log(error);
client.unbind(function(error) {if(error){console.log(error.message);} else{console.log('client disconnected');}});
}
remember if you get 'error~~~: Size Limit Exceeded' error, use paged and sizeLimit param.
var opts = {
filter: '(objectclass=commonobject)',
scope: 'sub',
paged: true,
sizeLimit: 200
};
