LDAP integration

[jovoud]

NoUseFreak, can you inform me what you expect from LDAP integration?
I can see you use "fos/UserBundle/" as user store. Am I correct if say you just want to replace the user store and keep symfony's authentication system using security.yml?

As an extra way of authenticating. A "standard" user (later this will only be admins) can configure the LDAP settings.
Users can than login using their LDAP credentials.

You can have a look at https://packagist.org/packages/imag/ldap-bundle or https://packagist.org/packages/fr3d/ldap-bundle and pick what fits best.

Thanks for informing.. I am not acquainted with the symfony security.yml model, but in combination with "https://github.com/BorisMorel/LdapBundle" it seems like an easy configuration exercise. When I got the time I will set up an LDAP store and set up a copy of the latest PMT. I guess this wouldn't be that hard. I am only wondering about using 2 stores at the same time. Cause it might be possible existing LDAP groups don't have the same naming convention as the fosbundle (PMT) user store.

I Guess we can fix that in security.yml using the
access_control:
- { path: ^/login$, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/register, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/resetting, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/css, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/js, role: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
- { path: ^/, role: ROLE_USER }
.

Is there a way to make a role mapping table in this configuration? Or do we have to add them twice for every path?

Looks like the ChainProvider might get it done. https://github.com/BorisMorel/LdapBundle#chain-provider

For now it's okay to just check if the user in in a group(LDAP) and set it as a user in PMT.

I guess you will need to persist the new users in the DB as we need them everywhere.
