README

The LDAP Authorization plugin allows for StatusNet to handle authorization
through LDAP.

Installation
============
add "addPlugin('ldapAuthorization',
array('setting'=>'value', 'setting2'=>'value2', ...);"
to the bottom of your config.php

You *cannot* use this plugin without the LDAP Authentication plugin

Settings
========
provider_name*: This is a identifier designated to the connection.
It's how StatusNet will refer to the authentication source.
For the most part, any name can be used, so long as each authentication
source has a different identifier. In most cases there will be only one
authentication source used.
authoritative (false): should this plugin be authoritative for
authorization?
uniqueMember_attribute ('uniqueMember')*: the attribute of a group
that lists the DNs of its members
roles_to_groups: array that maps StatusNet roles to LDAP groups
some StatusNet roles are: moderator, administrator, sandboxed, silenced
login_group: if this is set to a group DN, only members of that group will be
allowed to login

The below settings must be exact copies of the settings used for the
corresponding LDAP Authentication plugin.

host*: LDAP server name to connect to. You can provide several hosts in an
array in which case the hosts are tried from left to right.
