Tailoring logging

[acharseth]

I would like to tailor the logging and replace logging of name (CN) with samaccount name (for privacy reasons).
How can this be done?

Hi @acharseth,

Depending on your auth scaffolding, I've created docs on how to use samaccountname's (or any attribute for that matter) here:

Laravel UI:
https://ldaprecord.com/docs/laravel/v3/auth/database/laravel-ui/#using-usernames

Laravel Breeze:
https://ldaprecord.com/docs/laravel/v3/auth/database/laravel-breeze/#using-usernames

Laravel Jetstream:
https://ldaprecord.com/docs/laravel/v3/auth/database/laravel-jetstream/#using-usernames

I already have an app/models/User which extends Authenticatable implements LdapAuthenticatable and tried adding the getName() method there but that did not work...

[acharseth]

Your method works however, @stevebauman, just had to correct the signature of the getName() method:

public function getName($dn = null): ?string

But I still have some issues with the logging:
I get "Attempting", "Binding", "Bound" and "Passed" events logged with full name.

Could I, in a similar way, override the getUsername() in LdapRecord\Auth\Events\Event?
Or may be I am walking on dangerous paths removing important logg information?

[stevebauman]

@acharseth That isn't possible unfortunately, as the auth events aren't fired with model instances, but with the raw values (username and password) that's used in authentication:

https://github.com/DirectoryTree/LdapRecord/blob/8aee79b58d1ca5cf88f19f495743e9289e898504/src/Auth/Guard.php#L42-L51

If you need further logging customization, I'd propose disabling logging in your connection configuration, and then registering listeners on the auth events yourself and logging what you'd like from the event 👍

You can extend those listeners if you'd like, but you'll have to disable logging either way to customize the logged value.

Thanks, @stevebauman! :-)
I added this to Providers/EventServiceProvider $listen array:

\LdapRecord\Laravel\Events\Auth\Bound::class => [
            \App\Listeners\LogActivityListener::class.'@ldapBound',
        ]

And in LogActivityListener I have:

public function ldapBound(LdapEvents\Auth\Bound $event)
    {
        $user=$event->object->getName();
        MyLogClass::uaEventLog(LogType::Info, $event, $user, "Some message");
    }

And this works fine!

Excellent, glad you were able to resolve this -- and thanks for posting your solution here!

[acharseth]

Thanks for you valuable feedback @stevebauman. I now consider this solved.
