# LDAP Plugin for JWT Token

### Definition

Based on a JWT token, the LDAP plugin allows to retrieve a user's uid - gid. The plugin is configurable to specify the unique identifier which is used to retrieve information from the token. The current user's UID and GID values are then retrieved via the LDAP server using this identifier.

### Activation

The LDAP plugin must be activated and configured on the nodes where the dispatcher service is installed.

### Configuration

Define a file named `ldap-mapping.yml` into the folder `/opt/nodeum/plugins/`.

The file has to contain three differents sections: memberUid – groups – persKey.

Each of them can be filled-in with `basedn`, `filter` and `attribute` information. These information has to cope with the LDAP structure.

This following file is an example of `ldap-mapping.yml` file configuration:

```yaml
memberUid:
  basedn: ou=accounts,ou=mysite,dc=my-org,dc=com
  filter: (x-mysite-persKey={{ index (ldapsearch "persKey") 0 }})
  attribute: uid

groups:
  basedn: ou=groups,ou=mysite,dc=my-org,dc=com
  filter: (memberUid={{ index (ldapsearch "memberUid") 0 }})
  attribute: cn

persKey:
  basedn: ou=people,ou=mysite,dc=my-org,dc=com
  filter: (mail={{ .claims.email }}})
  attribute: x-mysite-persKey
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nodeum.io/data-mover/identity-management/ldap-plugin-for-jwt-token.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
