Implement LDAP facility in OrangeHRM

Hi all this article is about enabling LDAP authentication procedure in OrangeHRM so it has been considered from my side that you must have the knowlwdge about Orange HRM system.

If you are not aware of OHRM, then please go to www.orangehrm.com

I have implemented this facility using adLDAP which is nothing but a PHP class that provides LDAP authentication and integration with Active Directory. Another thing that I have installed OrangeHRM on win XP.

Please follow below steps to achieve LDAP implementation

  1. Download adLDAP from adLDAP Download
  2. Extract the zip containing adLDAP PHP class and place the adLDAP.php to OrangeHRM root directory as web_content(PHP root)/OrangeHRM/lib/common/ldap/adLDAP.php (create ldap directory as it is not present there)
  3. Now before start coding, please read the documentation of adLDAP at adLDAP Documentation because adLDAP class needs some information related to your ADS server to get connected
  4. Find login.php of OrangeHRM in which modification will be done
  5. Comment the existing code to handle LDAP module
  6. Below that write following piece of code
    require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/lib/common/ldap/adLDAP.php');
    $adldap = new adLDAP();
    $ldapFile = ROOT_PATH . "/lib/common/ldap/adLDAP.php";
    $_SESSION['ldap'] = "enabled";
    $_SESSION['ldapStatus'] = "enabled";
  7. Now call the adLDAP class's method authenticate() using adLDAP object in place of ldapAuth() as shown at the place of authentication code
    $ldapAuth = $adldap->authenticate($rset[0][0], $_POST['txtPassword']);
  8. Create the users in OrangeHRM same as ADS server with blank passwords
  9. Now start login with ADS authentication credentials
Please follow How to enable LDAP to get information about OrangeHRM LDAP module work

Hey as above has done with OrangeHRM using adLDAP, both are opensource projects developed using PHP. In my case it has been worked successfully. As I have also searched for this issue drastically but didn't got any solution so after achieved the solution me presenting this piece of work to you. Please let me know your reviews and comments if any...


Thanks

    This doesn't work for me either, I commented out everything within the first /* LDAP Module */ and the 2nd /* LDAP Module */ and added this below it:
    require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/lib/common/ldap/adLDAP.php');
    $adldap = new adLDAP();
    $ldapFile = ROOT_PATH . "/lib/common/ldap/adLDAP.php";
    $_SESSION['ldap'] = "enabled";
    $_SESSION['ldapStatus'] = "enabled";
    $ldapAuth = $adldap->authenticate($rset[0][0], $_POST['txtPassword']);

    I got error saying "Undefined variable: rset"
    Can you clarify? Thanks

    Seems you didn't configured your adLDAP class. It requires some information related to your ADS server please refer to the link http://adldap.sourceforge.net/wiki/doku.php?id=api for further details and set the adLDAP class variables such as

    protected $_account_suffix = "@example.local";
    protected $_base_dn = "DC=example,DC=local";
    protected $_domain_controllers = array ("example-controller.example.local");

    Use your server credentials
    It is easy

    I use the same adLDAP class together with putting some other files (and not modifying login.php) under plugins/ldap folder and successfully enabled LDAP authentication. Now I want to implement IWA (Integrated Windows Authentication) so that our users don't have to keyin username/password. Do you have any idea about that?

    Hi,

    I tried to implement adldap in the version 2.6.11 of orangehrm. And I cannot connect to the application using my ldap login.
    The only message I have is invalid credentials. I already tried the adldap classes and they are ok.

    Did you tried to implement adldap with this version ?

    I will be pleased to here your feedbacks.

    Thanks.

    Best regards

    Paps

    I installed OpenHRM 2.6.11 and tried to implement ldap login, but could not find the login.php file referenced in your post. I assume they have changed structure of how authentication works since. How do I implement LDAP authentication in this new version? Thanks!
