LDAP Self Service

This is a simple Angular application that enables LDAP users to edit their own user attributes.

It goes hand in hand with LDAP Self REST Service as a backend.

Features

Log in as a LDAP user
Edit any of the permitted attributes (e.g. name, your mobile number, ...)
Log out

Configuration

In order to configure your own LDAP Self REST Service and therefore connect to your own LDAP, edit assets/config.json:

Set endpoint to the URL where your LDAP Self REST Service is reachable.
Set editableAttributes to the attributes you want your users to be allowed to edit. This normally corresponds to the EDITABLE_ATTRIBUTES varaible from LDAP Self REST Service.

Build

To build a frontend with your configuration, run ng build --prod. Then copy the dist folder to wherever you want to host your frontend.

Run in Docker

The LDAP Self Service frontend can be run in a Docker container. A Dockerfile is included.

To build:

build -t ldap-self-service .

To run directly without building:

docker run \
    -e "LDAP_SELF_REST_SERVICE_ENDPOINT=https://docker-ldap-self-service-rest.example.com" \
    -e "EDITABLE_ATTRIBUTES=[\"sn\", \"mobile\"]" \
    -p 8080:80 \
    fchristl/ldap-self-service

Docker Compose

A Docker Compose file is available. It sets up an OpenLDAP server, a PhpLDAPAdmin instance and both the LDAP Self REST Service backend and the LDAP Self Service frontend.

Download the file. To start, run docker compose up. Navigate to https://127.0.0.1:6443 to open PhpLDAPAdmin.

LDAP Self REST Service looks for users in cn=users,dc=example,dc=org, so go ahead and create that group, and add some users under it.

Now, you can go to http://127.0.0.1:8080 and log in as one of the users that you created.
