ngx_http_auth_basic_ldap - Enables HTTP Basic Authentication using LDAP as an authorization provider.
This module is not distributed with the Nginx source. See the installation instructions.
This module requires the C libraries for openssl and ldap. On ubuntu you can install them with the following command:
apt-get install libssl-dev libldap2-dev
NOTICE: Other C libraries might be required by nginx core files.
The following versions of Nginx should work with this module:
-
= 1.9.11
The following process will describe how to compile this module so you can use it with an already compiled nginx package. The example is for ubuntu 16.04, with nginx installed through apt-get, but it should be similar to any other distribution.
First you will have to find the configure arguments and version for your compiled nginx:
ubuntu@hostname:~$ nginx -V
nginx version: nginx/1.10.0 (Ubuntu)
built with OpenSSL 1.0.2g-fips 1 Mar 2016
TLS SNI support enabled
configure arguments: --with-cc-opt='-g -O2 -fPIE -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2' --with-ld-opt='-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -fPIE -pie -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-z,now' --prefix=/usr/share/nginx --conf-path=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf --http-log-path=/var/log/nginx/access.log --error-log-path=/var/log/nginx/error.log --lock-path=/var/lock/nginx.lock --pid-path=/run/nginx.pid --http-client-body-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/body --http-fastcgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/fastcgi --http-proxy-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/proxy --http-scgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/scgi --http-uwsgi-temp-path=/var/lib/nginx/uwsgi --with-debug --with-pcre-jit --with-ipv6 --with-http_ssl_module --with-http_stub_status_module --with-http_realip_module --with-http_auth_request_module --with-http_addition_module --with-http_dav_module --with-http_geoip_module --with-http_gunzip_module --with-http_gzip_static_module --with-http_image_filter_module --with-http_v2_module --with-http_sub_module --with-http_xslt_module --with-stream --with-stream_ssl_module --with-mail --with-mail_ssl_module --with-threads
Grab the nginx source code:
wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.10.0.tar.gz
tar xzf nginx-1.10.0.tar.gz
cd nginx-1.10.0/
Compile the module:
# configure it using the earlier retrieved configure arguments + the --add-dynamic-module argument
./configure --with-cc-opt='-g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2' \

IMPORTAT: I ommited the -fPIE and -pie flags from --with-cc-opt and --with-ld-opt because our generated position independent code is gonna be used by a shared object.
A shared object will be generated at: objs/ngx_http_auth_basic_ldap_module.so. You will have to copy this module to modules folder: /usr/share/nginx/modules; and then to use load_module directive: load_module modules/ngx_http_auth_basic_ldap_module.so.
Grab the nginx source code from nginx.org, for example, the version 1.11.3 (see nginx compatibility), and then build the source with this module:
wget http://nginx.org/download/nginx-1.11.3.tar.gz
tar xzf nginx-1.11.3.tar.gz
cd nginx-1.11.2/
# assuming that you will install nginx under /opt/nginx/.
./configure --prefix=/opt/nginx \
--add-dynamic-module=/path/to/ngx_http_auth_basic_ldap_module
make
make install
After the compilation is finished you will be able to load the module dynamically with load_module directive, for example:
load_module /opt/nginx/modules/ngx_http_auth_basic_ldap_module.so;
location / {
auth_basic_ldap_realm "Ldap Auth";
auth_basic_ldap_url "ldap://localhost:389";
auth_basic_ldap_bind_dn 'cn="Common Name"';
auth_basic_ldap_bind_password "bind-password";
auth_basic_ldap_search_base "cn=users,dc=example,dc=com";
}
Syntax: auth_basic_ldap_realm string | off;
Default: auth_basic_ldap_realm off;
Context: location
Enables validation of user name and password using the “HTTP Basic Authentication” protocol with LDAP. The specified parameter is used as a realm. The special value off allows cancelling the effect of the auth_basic_ldap_realm directive inherited from the previous configuration level.
Syntax: auth_basic_ldap_url string;
Default: -
Context: location
Specifies the url for the LDAP server.
Syntax: auth_basic_ldap_bind_dn string;
Default: -
Context: location
Specifies the distinguished name for the LDAP root user.
Syntax: auth_basic_ldap_bind_password string;
Default: -
Context: location
Specifies the password for the LDAP root user.
Syntax: auth_basic_ldap_search_base string;
Default: -
Context: location
Specifies the base DN for the search directory.
Syntax: auth_basic_ldap_search_attr string;
Default: auth_basic_ldap_search_attr "uid";
Context: location
Specifies the attribute to search by.
