FedeRez LDAP web interface

webLDAP enables users to access their LDAP accounts and eases the management of such accounts by administrators.

Architecture

The project is called webldap and the only application in it is main.

Main files:

webldap/
    settings.py: project settings
    local_settings.sample.py: sample settings
    local_settings.docker.py: Docker-specific settings
main/
    views.py: view functions (no class-based views)
    static/: static content

Install

Normal

See app/requirements.txt for what needs to be installed first.

• In app/webldap, copy local_settings.sample.py to local_settings.py and edit the latter with your settings.

• Create the database:

    python manage.py migrate
  

• Configure your web server, or just run python manage.py runserver if you are testing the software.

Docker (development only)

You need both Docker and docker-compose. It is recommended you get familiar with Docker before using it for this project.

• Copy secret.sample.yml to secret.yml and edit it with the password you want to use.

• In app/webldap, copy local_settings.docker.py to local_settings.py and edit the secret key and the password.

• To initialize the LDAP database and start the server, run:

    docker-compose run ldap /usr/bin/slapd-init
    docker-compose up
  

  It should then be running on http://localhost:8000.

To take modifications into account:

docker-compose rm -f
docker-compose build
docker-compose up

To reset the LDAP database:

docker-compose rm -f
docker-compose run ldap /usr/bin/slapd-init
docker-compose up

If slapd crashes when it starts, try to raise the available RAM on your development machine to at least 1 Gio.
