Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is an open and neutral communication protocol that’s primarily used to retrieve the user information/credentials from the Active Directory (AD).

miniOrange’s LDAP/Active Directory Integration for Joomla not only authenticates users’ identities, but also automatically registers new users during the login process. Once authenticated, the users are granted access to all the resources. But, there are instances where only specific users (based on their roles) can access resources, thus enhancing security of Joomla site.

Let’s look at some of the key features associated with the LDAP/AD extension for Joomla.

Key Features of LDAP/AD Integration Includes:

1. Windows Authentication (NTLM/Kerberos)
Auto-login into the Joomla website from the domain systems in an intranet and internet architecture without the need to enter any credentials.

2. Connect With Multiple Directories
Setup user authentication across multiple LDAP/AD Servers, thus ensuring communication between Joomla and multiple LDAP Servers concurrently.

3. Advanced Role/Attribute Mapping

Map LDAP Server user groups to specific Joomla roles upon authentication, to assure role-based access control for robust security.

4. Custom Search Base

Authenticate users from various Organizational Units (OUs) in AD at the same time by setting up multiple search bases.

5. Auto User Registration

Streamline Joomla user management by automatically registering LDAP users upon their initial login, thus reducing administrative overhead.

6. TLS & Secure LDAP Support

Augment Joomla site security with TLS encryption and LDAP over SSL (LDAPS) standards.

7. Redirect Users After Login

Improve user experience and navigation by sending users to a specific landing page after logging into Joomla site.
