=head1 NAME
Net::Squid::Auth::Plugin::SimpleLDAP - A simple LDAP-based credentials validation plugin for Net::Squid::Auth::Engine
=head1 VERSION
Version 0.01.03
=cut
use version; our $VERSION = qv('0.01.03');
=head1 SYNOPSIS
If you're a system administrator trying to use Net::Squid::Auth::Engine to
validate your user's credentials using a LDAP server as a credentials
repository, do as described here:
On C<$Config{InstallScript}/squid-auth-engine>'s configuration file:
plugin = SimpleLDAP
server = myldap.server.somewhere
basedn = ou=mydept,o=mycompany.com
binddn = cn=joedoe
bindpw = secretpassword
objclass = inetOrgPerson (optional, defaults to "person")
userattr = uid (optional, defaults to "cn")
passattr = password (optional, defaults to "userPassword")
This module will presume the users in your LDAP directory belong to the
object class C, as defined in section 3.12 of RFC 4519, and the user
and password information will be looked for in the C and C
attributes, respectively.
On your Squid HTTP Cache configuration:
auth_param basic /usr/bin/squid-auth-engine /etc/squid-auth-engine.conf
And you're ready to use this module.
If you're a developer, you might be interested in reading through the source
code of this module, in order to learn about it's internals and how it works.
It may give you ideas about how to implement other plugin modules for
L.
=head1 FUNCTIONS
=head2 new( $config_hash )
Constructor. Expects a hash reference with all the configuration under the
section I<< >> in the C<$Config{InstallScript}/squid-auth-engine> as
parameter. Returns a plugin instance.
=cut
sub new {
my ( $class, $config ) = @_;
foreach $_ qw(server basedn binddn bindpw) {
croak "$/Missing config parameter \'" . $_ . "'"
unless $config->{$_};
}
return unless UNIVERSAL::isa( $config, 'HASH' );
return bless { _config => $config }, $class;
}
=head2 initialize()
=cut
sub initialize {
my $self = shift;
$self->{_config}{userattr} = 'cn' unless $self->{_config}{userattr};
$self->{_config}{passattr} = 'userPassword'
unless $self->{_config}{passattr};
$self->{_config}{objclass} = 'person' unless $self->{_config}{objclass};
return;
}
=head2 _search
Searches the LDAP server. It expects one parameter with a search string for the username.
The search string must conform with the format used in LDAP queries, as defined in section 3
of RFC 4515.
=cut
sub _search {
my ( $self, $search ) = @_;
# connect
my $ldap = Net::LDAP->new( $self->{_config}{server} )
|| croak "Cannot connect to LDAP server: " . $self->{_config}{server};
# bind
my $mesg = $ldap->bind( "$self->{_config}{binddn}",
password => "$self->{_config}{bindpw}" );
$mesg->code && croak "Error binding to LDAP server: " . $mesg->error;
# search
$mesg = $ldap->search(
base => "$self->{_config}{basedn}",
scope => 'sub',
filter => '(&(objectClass='
. $self->{_config}{objclass} . ')('
. $self->{_config}{userattr} . '='
. "$search" . '))',
attrs => [ $self->{_config}{userattr}, $self->{_config}{passattr} ]
);
# if errors
if ( $mesg->code ) {
$mesg = $ldap->unbind;
$mesg->code && croak "Error searching LDAP server:" . $mesg->error;
}
# get results
my $entry;
my %result;
foreach $entry ( $mesg->entries() ) {
my $user = $entry->get_value( $self->{_config}{userattr} );
my $pw = $entry->get_value( $self->{_config}{passattr} );
$result{$user} = ${pw};
undef $user;
undef $pw;
}
$mesg = $ldap->unbind;
$mesg->code && croak $mesg->error;
return %result;
}
=head2 is_valid( $username, $password )
This is the credential validation interface. It expects a username and password
as parameters and returns a boolean indicating if the credentials are valid
(i.e., are listed in the configuration file) or not.
=cut
sub is_valid {
my ( $self, $username, $password ) = @_;
my %result = $self->_search("$username");
return 0 unless exists $result{$username};
return $result{$username} eq $password;
}
