When a user logs in to the Mobilizon instance, the email and password will be verified by trying to authenticate +(bind) to an LDAP server. If a user exists in the LDAP directory but there is no account with the same email yet on the Mobilizon instance then a new +Mobilizon account will be created (without needing email confirmation) with the same email as the LDAP email name. + +!!! tip + As Mobilizon uses email for login and LDAP bind is often done with account UID/CN, we need to start by searching for LDAP account matching with this email. LDAP search without bind is often disallowed, so you'll probably need an admin LDAP user. + + +Change authentification method: +```elixir +config :mobilizon, + Mobilizon.Service.Auth.Authenticator, + Mobilizon.Service.Auth.LDAPAuthenticator +``` + +LDAP configuration under `:mobilizon, :ldap`: + +* `enabled`: enables LDAP authentication +* `host`: LDAP server hostname +* `port`: LDAP port, e.g. 389 or 636 +* `ssl`: true to use SSL, usually implies the port 636 +* `sslopts`: additional SSL options +* `tls`: true to start TLS, usually implies the port 389 +* `tlsopts`: additional TLS options +* `base`: LDAP base, e.g. "dc=example,dc=com" +* `uid`: LDAP attribute name to authenticate the user, e.g. when "cn", the filter will be "cn=username,base" +* `require_bind_for_search` whether admin bind is required to perform search +* `bind_uid` the admin uid/cn for binding before searching +* `bind_password` the admin password for binding before searching + +Example: + +```elixir +config :mobilizon, :ldap, + enabled: true, + host: "localhost", + port: 636, + ssl: true, + sslopts: [], + tls: true, + tlsopts: [], + base: "ou=users,dc=example,dc=local", + uid: "cn", + require_bind_for_search: true, + bind_uid: "admin_account", + bind_password: "some_admin_password" +``` + +## OAuth + +Mobilizon currently supports the following providers: + +* [Discord](https://github.com/schwarz/ueberauth_discord) +* [Facebook](https://github.com/ueberauth/ueberauth_facebook) +* [Github](https://github.com/ueberauth/ueberauth_github) +* [Gitlab](https://github.com/mtchavez/ueberauth_gitlab) (including self-hosted) +* [Google](https://github.com/ueberauth/ueberauth_google) +* [Keycloak](https://github.com/Rukenshia/ueberauth_keycloak) (through OpenID Connect) +* [Twitter](https://github.com/Rukenshia/ueberauth_keycloak) + +Support for [other providers](https://github.com/ueberauth/ueberauth/wiki/List-of-Strategies) can easily be added if requested. + +!!! tip + We advise to look at each provider's README file for eventual specific instructions. + +You'll have to start by registering an app at the provider. Be sure to activate features like "Sign-in with" and "emails" scope, as Mobilizon needs users emails to register them. + +Add the configured providers to configuration (you may find the appropriate scopes on the provider's API documentation): +```elixir +config :ueberauth, + Ueberauth, + providers: [ + gitlab: {Ueberauth.Strategy.Gitlab, [default_scope: "read_user"]}, + keycloak: {Ueberauth.Strategy.Keycloak, [default_scope: "email"]} + # ... + ] +``` + +In order for the « Sign-in with » buttons to be added on Register and Login pages, list your providers: +```elixir +config :mobilizon, :auth, + oauth_consumer_strategies: [ + :gitlab, + {:keycloak, "My corporate account"} + # ... + ] +``` + +!!! note + If you use the `{:provider_id, "Some label"}` form, the label will be used inside the buttons on Register and Login pages. + +Finally add the configuration for each specific provider. The Client ID and Client Secret are at least required: +```elixir +config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Facebook.OAuth, + client_id: "some_numeric_id", + client_secret: "some_secret" + +keycloak_url = "https://some-keycloak-instance.org" + +# Realm may be something else than master +config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Keycloak.OAuth, + client_id: "some_id", + client_secret: "some_hexadecimal_secret", + site: keycloak_url, + authorize_url: "#{keycloak_url}/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/auth", + token_url: "#{keycloak_url}/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/token", + userinfo_url: "#{keycloak_url}/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/userinfo", + token_method: :post +``` \ No newline at end of file
