LDAPAuth

This is an example for an external authentication program. It performs authentication against an LDAP server. It is tested against 389ds and can be used as starting point to authenticate using any LDAP server including Active Directory.

You need to change the LDAP connection parameters and the user search query to match your environment. You can build this example using the following command:

go build -ldflags "-s -w" -o ldapauth

This program assumes that the 389ds schema was extended to add support for public keys using the following ldif file placed in /etc/dirsrv/schema/98openssh-ldap.ldif:

⚠️ A plugin for LDAP/Active Directory authentication is also available.
