Login settings

The Drupal LDAP/Active Directory Integration module allows you to integrate LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) authentication into your Drupal website. LDAP is commonly used in organizations to manage user access and credentials. With the Drupal LDAP integration module, you can configure various login restrictions for your Drupal website, providing flexibility and security for both users and administrators. In this guide, we will see how to control users logging in to your website.

Prerequisite:

• Install the Drupal LDAP / Active Directory Integration module.
• Set up the above module with your LDAP or Active Directory server. You can also refer to this setup guide for assistance.

Within the LDAP configuration tab of the module, you'll find the Authentication Restriction options (admin/config/people/ldap_auth/ldap_config). In this guide, we will explore three common scenarios for login restriction:

1. User can log in using both their Drupal or LDAP credentials
   

   This option lets users choose if they want to log in with their LDAP or Drupal usernames and passwords. It's handy when your users are in both LDAP and Drupal.

2. Users can only log in using their LDAP credentials and Drupal admin can log in using their local Drupal Credentials
   

   With this option, Drupal administrators can log in using either LDAP or Drupal credentials. Other users can only use LDAP credentials. This is helpful as a backup if your LDAP server has problems. It's also useful when your Drupal site managers aren't part of the LDAP group.

3. Users can only log in using their LDAP credentials
   

   Selecting this option forces all users to log in using only their LDAP credentials. No one can use Drupal credentials. This is the most secure option when you want everyone to use LDAP.

LDAP Group Login restriction:

You can explore how to effectively manage Drupal user logins based on their current LDAP organizational units (OUs) and Groups. Discover how to control and customize user access by restricting or permitting logins based on LDAP groups and OU criteria. To know more contact us at drupalsupport@xecurify.com.
