<h2>
LDAP authentication
</h2>
<p>
LDAP (lightweight Directory Access Protocol) has been implemented by
vykozlov in a separate branch at <a href="https://github.com/vykozlov/elog-ldap">https://github.com/vykozlov/elog-ldap</a>. The code has been merged into this distribution on
an as-is basis. Following info has copied from the link above:</p>
<p>
To use LDAP authentication, do the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Enable LDAP authentication in the <b><code>Makefile</code></b> by setting
<b><code>USE_LDAP = 1</code></b>
</li>
<li>
Change elogd.cf to contain LDAP authentication:
<ul>
<li><b><code>Authentication = LDAP</code></b></li>
<li><b><code>LDAP server = ldap://example.org:389</code></b></li>
<li><b><code>LDAP userbase = ou=People;dc=example,dc=org</code></b></li>
<li><b><code>LDAP login attribute = uid</code></b></li>
<li><b><code>LDAP register = 1</code></b></li>
</ul>
The <code><b>login attribute</b></code> is from the DN (distinguished name), e.g.
uid=user,ou=People,dc=example,dc=org. The <code><b>register</b></code> flag determines
if LDAP users are automatically stored in the local password file, which is
necessary for email notifications.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Please note that it is not possible to change a password in the LDAP database from within ELOG.
