Anonymous user with binding after connection

[JohnosJW]

Help me pls) I use .env configs with empty username and password fields.

LDAP_LOGGING=true
LDAP_CONNECTION=default
LDAP_HOST=test.telnet.net
LDAP_USERNAME=
LDAP_PASSWORD=
LDAP_PORT=636
LDAP_BASE_DN=DC=test,DC=telnet,DC=net
LDAP_TIMEOUT=5
LDAP_SSL=true
LDAP_TLS=false

and when I try to login on Login page I get a message: These credentials do not match our records.
How can I before search_ldap user by username, make ldap_bind with my [email protected]?

Hi @JohnosJW, you must configure a username and password for LdapRecord-Laravel to work.

Think of it like your database credentials. You must configure them for your application to connect to your database.

This is setup the same way with LdapRecord. LdapRecord needs some sort of credentials to be able to lookup your user account prior to authentication, so that users may login with any attribute you provide.

Hope this helps!

what works for me was to set username and password before connect method for anonymous connection on my login method

        try {
            $bindingAccount = $connection->getConfiguration()->get('username');

            if(strlen($bindingAccount) === 0){
                $connection->getConfiguration()->set('username',$username);
                $connection->getConfiguration()->set('password',$password);
            }
            
            $connection->connect();
        }

Hi @evifere,

You should be able to set the username and password to null via:

LDAP_USERNAME=null
LDAP_PASSWORD=null

Hi,

i have try this

  try {
            $bindingAccount = $connection->getConfiguration()->get('username');

            if(strlen($bindingAccount) === 0){
                $connection->getConfiguration()->set('username', null);
                $connection->getConfiguration()->set('password', null);
            }
            
            $connection->connect();
        }

the connection works but after when i perfom my firt query to retrieve my user I have an exception

        try {
            $identifier_attribute = $connection->getConfiguration()->get('identifier_attribute');//generally samccountname
            $user = LDAP_AD_User::on($currentName)->findByOrFail($identifier_attribute, $username);
        }
