LDAP Authentication

Things to Set Up/Configure on Your End

  • enable SSL on your LDAP server
  • create an account we can use to look up a user's first and last names, user id, and email address (if you keep track of all of your users' email addresses)
  • if your LDAP server is firewalled, you will need to allow our VCL web server (152.1.227.24) to access tcp port 636

Information We Need From You

  • hostname of your LDAP server
  • userid and password for account created above to look up information about your users
  • the bind dn to use when looking up users on your LDAP server
  • the attribute under which users id's are listed that we would use for searching (in Active Directory, this is usually "samAccountName")
  • if you use a self-signed certificate, we may need the public part of the CA cert with which it was signed (we'll let you know after trying without having it)

VCL Templates (Skins)

To provide a template or "skin", we need an html template. There are a few parts of the administrative areas of the site that can generate some really wide tables. If you want your template to look normal for those areas, it will need to be a variable width template to handle the horizontal scrolling. Additionally, there must be either 2 table cells in the middle of the page (one for the menu, one for the main content) or 2 div areas next to each other in the middle of the page.
