@ -13,18 +13,22 @@ The inital idea for this implementation was taken from
This implementation uses *no* ldap bind user - it tries to bind to the ldap (using ldapts) with
the uid and credentials of the user which tries to login.
Only valid LDAP users can login. This module authenticates in any case against the specified LDAP server!
Only valid LDAP users or Email-Users registerd by an admin can login.
This module authenticates against the local DB if `ALLOW_EMAIL_LOGIN` is set to `true` if this fails
it tries to authenticate against the specified LDAP server.
*Therefore:*
- Users can not change their password (they have to change it at the ldap server) - Settings for password and name has been disabled.
- Users can not change their name or email (same reason as above). The email adress is taken from the ldap server (mail) field.
This field has to contain a valid mail adress. Firstname and lastname are taken from the fields "givenName" and "sn".
- LDAP Users can not change their password for the ldap username login. They have to change it at the ldap server.
- LDAP Users can reset their local db password. Then they can decide if they login with either their LDAP-user and password or with their Email and local db password.
- Users can not change their email. The email adress is taken from the ldap server (mail) field. (or by invitation through an admin).
This ldap mail field has to contain a valid mail adress. Firstname and lastname are taken from the fields "givenName" and "sn".
If you want to use different fields change the code in AuthenticationManager.js lines 297-299.
- You can not invite non ldap users directly (via email) to projects (``link sharing`` is possible).
- Admins can invite non ldap users directly (via email). Additionally (``link sharing`` of projects is possible).
*Important:*
Sharelatex/Overleaf uses the email adress to identify users: If you change the field in LDAP you have to update the corresponding field
in the mongo db - otherwise on the next login you have a new user in sharelatex.

### Sharelatex Configuration
Edit SHARELATEX_ environment variables in [docker-compose.yml](docker-compose.yml) to fit your local setup (e.g. proper SMTP server, Header, Footer, App Name,...). See https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf/wiki/Quick-Start-Guide for more details.
