LDAP integration for Gallery

The famous online gallery system Gallery has a straightforward install on a LAMP server but getting LDAP to integrate for authentication can have some issues. Following notes are from Sheldon Bradshaw

Issue:  No formal LDAP
Using  a user-posted hack found at http://codex.gallery2.org/LDAP_authentication, I got it working.
1.  Replaced userlogin.inc (original zipped in place)
2.  Made the following changes to work with our LDAP:

Line 106
$ret = $user->create($username);
Replace with
$ret = $user->create($form[‘username’]);

Line 229-233
$ldap      = array(‘ldaphost’ => ‘ldap://ldap.domain.com’,
‘domain’   => ‘domain.com’,
‘dn’       => ‘ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=com’,
‘binduser’ => ‘CN=Proxy,ou=Users,dc=domain,dc=com’,
‘bindpass’ => ‘proxypassword’
Replace with
$ldap      = array(‘ldaphost’ => ‘ldap://odm.wab.edu’,
‘domain’   => ‘wab.edu’,
‘dn’       => ‘cn=users,dc-odm,dc=wab,dc=edu’,
‘binduser’ => ”,
‘bindpass’ => ”

Line 249
$ldapSearchResult = ldap_search($ldapconn, $ldap[‘dn’], “(sAMAccountName=”.$username.”)” , array( “*” ));

Replace with
$ldapSearchResult = ldap_search($ldapconn, $ldap[‘dn’], “(UID=”.$username.”)” , array( “*” ));
