[TYPO3-dev] Fwd: ldap server / sync with staticgroups

[Alex Masidlover]

Hi,

I'm trying to get LDAP authentication to work against Typo3 and have  
the frontend users syncing and authentication working if I manually  
set the user groups for each user. Because OpenLDAP does not support  
memberOf (at least not without upgrading to 2.4 and adding an overlay)  
I need to use static groups where the users' uids are held in  
memberUid attributes of the group object.

It looks like this has been coded for with getStaticGroups, and I have  
found an example of configuring it at:
http://typo3.toaster-schwerin.de/typo3_dev/2005_02/msg00384.html

However, I can't work out what the key options in the configuration do  
(searchAttr, groupFilter - is this generic to filter all groups or do  
I add a ### variable to only get groups for the user being  
considered?, searchAttr, attribute - in the userfunc, attribute of  
what? the group uid, the user id...)

When I looked at the code for the function in the class, it seems not  
to use any of these conf vars but has a whole different set - are they  
being reforumlated somehow or is the sample config post I am looking  
at out of date/wrong? I think I roughly see how to configure it from  
the code and would think something like:

           userFunc = tx_ldapserver->getStaticGroups
            userFunc     {
                         pid = <Storage Rec>
                         table = fe_groups
                         
filter=(&(objectClass=posixGroup)(memberUid=###IDENT###))
     }
But I can't see how the conf['value'] is set (which is what IDENT gets  
replaced with and should be the user's uid).

Any help would be much appreciated, especially from someone with a  
working config...

Thanks in advance,

Alex Masidlover
