= LDAP support =

A BOINC project can let users authenticate (in both Web and Manager)
using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol LDAP].
Specifically:

 * The web login form lets users enter an LDAP ID instead of an email address.
 * Similarly in the Manager Attach Project wizard (works only with 7.5+ clients).

From the user's point of view, their BOINC accounts already exist;
they use "Login" rather than "Create new account".

To enable this, add the following to your '''html/project/project.inc''':
{{{
define("LDAP_HOST", "ldap://ldap1.ssl.berkeley.edu");
define("LDAP_BASE_DN", "ou=people,dc=ssl,dc=berkeley,dc=edu");
}}}
Change the values to reflect your LDAP server.
You may not need "ou=people,".

== Implementation ==

For accounts authenticated with LDAP,
the '''user.email_addr''' database field has a string of the form
'''LDAP:uid''' where uid is the LDAP user ID.
