authenticating dokuwiki to zimbra's openldap!

[gettyless]

I couldn't just google the answer for this, so I just want to share my config with people in case they are trying to get their dokuwiki to authenticate to zimbra's openldap. Also, I'm a dokuwiki bigot it's awesome, almost as awesome as zimbra.

I think, the key thing had to do with telling dokuwiki the right ldap schema (objectClass) to look at. At first I wasn't too sure about objectClass's, because I thought the posixAccount was something already in Zimbra, or I thought posixAccount was something that Zimbra's ldap schema was built "on top of" - but i'll have to take a closer look. Anyway looks like want I care about is zimbraAccount instead (this works for me).

All this stuff goes in your ./conf/dokuwiki.conf - what this does is just authenticate user/password from zimbra's openldap:

PHP Code:

$conf['useacl']      = 1;
$conf['openregister']= 0;
$conf['authtype']    = 'ldap';

$conf['auth']['ldap']['server']      = 'ldap://xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.com';
$conf['auth']['ldap']['port']        = 389;
$conf['auth']['ldap']['version']     = 3;

# Optional debugging
$conf['auth']['ldap']['debug']      = true;

# ldap user info
$conf['auth']['ldap']['usertree']    = 'ou=people,dc=xxxxxxxxx,dc=com';
$conf['auth']['ldap']['userfilter']  = '(&(uid=%{user})(objectClass=zimbraAccount))'; 


I'm still working on the Group (OU) lookup:

PHP Code:

#$conf['auth']['ldap']['grouptree']   = 'ou=people,dc=blah,dc=com';
#$conf['auth']['ldap']['groupfilter'] = '(&(Member=%{ou})(objectClass=zimbraAccount))'; 


(I'm guessing the lookup is fine, but at the moment, I'm not sure how I'd match up openldap groups to dokuwiki groups. Or if that is something I want to worry abou. Maybe I should define my access control within Dokuwiki. I guess the downside to this is I'm creating "sprawl" for access control policies/lists. But I think I'll revisit this problem when it truly becomes a problem for my needs.)

This configuration works for dukuwiki:

PHP Code:

$conf['useacl'] = 1; 
$conf['openregister'] = 0;
$conf['authtype'] = 'ldap';

$conf['auth']['ldap']['server'] = 'ldap://xxxxx.xx';       
$conf['auth']['ldap']['port'] = 389;
$conf['auth']['ldap']['version'] = 3;
$conf['auth']['ldap']['usertree'] = 'uid=%{user},ou=people,dc=xxxxxxxx,dc=com';
$conf['auth']['ldap']['debug'] = 1;
