There is no connector type ‘ldap’ in the connector settings.

How is it possible to connect a directory server (e.g. AD) to a simplifier application.

It is really needed in the business logic of the application, not really for authentication in settings.

Hello Klaus,

we don’t offer an ldap connector for quering users etc. LDAP is only a identity provider for authentication in the view of simplifier.

But you can develop an ldap connector by yourself using our plugin sdk in any programming lanugage for e.g. nodejs (javascript) see https://github.com/ldapjs/node-ldapjs

Hi Christian,

ok. Thanks for the information.

I’ve found only that doku for your plugin development:

https://community.simplifier.io/doc/current-release/plugins/plugin-development/

 

But that does not really to get the big picture how accessing a plugin, which interfaces it has to be implemented, etc.

 

Is there an other source for developing a plugin (for a developer) and not only on a high level?

 

Best regards

Klaus

Hello Klaus,

i updated the documentation link https://community.simplifier.io/doc/current-release/plugins/plugin-development/ with a download link to our github repository. here you will find a working plugin example based on nodejs.

You can extend the plugin with your ldap npm module and run it on a separate docker

Hi Christian,

great! Thank you!

To make it complete: how do you integrate a plugin into Simplifier?

I’m not able to find a docu where it is explained how to load it.

 

Best regards

Klaus

Hi Christian,

 

I suppose I know the registration of the plugin.

JSON config file inside the docker container registrates the plugin at 127.0.0.1:8085. Correct?

Unfortunately this does not work. See the dump.

 

events.js:292
throw er; // Unhandled ‘error’ event
^

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:8085

Hello Klaus,

 

the complete example NodeJs Plugin is described on this JSDoc

https://community.simplifier.io/doc/current-release/plugins/plugin-development/

If you run the plug-in in a separate docker , the simplifier docker as well as the Plugin docker should communicate together over http
