Hello Everyone,

I have a proposal for a change to the Ldap authentication method.

Can we add a property to the Ldapsettings to be able to specify what we want to filter by when searching ldap?

File: mojoPortal.Business\LdapUser.cs

Function: public LdapUser(DirectoryEntry adentry, String userName, LdapSettings ldapSettings)

Current Code:

DirectorySearcher ds = new DirectorySearcher(adentry);
ds.Filter = "(&(sAMAccountName=" + userName + "))";
DirectoryEntry ent = ds.FindOne().GetDirectoryEntry();

Proposed Code:

DirectorySearcher ds = new DirectorySearcher(adentry);
ds.Filter = "(&(" + ldapSettings.searchFilter + "=" + userName + "))";
DirectoryEntry ent = ds.FindOne().GetDirectoryEntry();

By doing this it will enable us to be able to specify which object attribute that we want to search by.

Currently in my organization we are using email addresses as user ids. This is because there are occurrences where the same user name will appear but the email address is different.

E.g.

John Johnston - jjohnston@companyy.com

James Johnston - jjohnston@companyx.com

I look forward to your feedback.

Thanks

Hazard
