Module Description

This module, when enabled, will inject roster entries fetched from LDAP. It might get quite complicated to configure it properly, so fasten your seatbelts and prepare for a ride.

When a default value for an option is defined with "top-level/XXX", it means that the default value is equal to a top-level parameter in mongooseim.cfg of the same name. If it is not defined, XXX becomes the default value.

Options: attributes

  • ldap_groupattr (string, default: "cn"): Provides a group name.
  • ldap_groupdesc (string, default: value of ldap_groupattr): Provides a group description.
  • ldap_userdesc (string, default: "cn"): Provides a human-readable user name.
  • ldap_useruid (string, default: "cn"): Provides a username.
  • ldap_memberattr (string, default: "memberUid"): Holds group members' IDs.
  • ldap_memberattr_format (string, default: "%u"): Simple LDAP expression for extracting a user ID.
  • ldap_memberattr_format_re (string, default: ""): Allows extracting the user ID with a regular expression.

Options: parameters

  • ldap_auth_check (boolean, default: true): Enables checking if a shared roster entry actually exists in the XMPP database.
  • ldap_user_cache_validity (integer, default: top-level/300): Specifies in seconds how long are the roster entries kept in the cache.
  • ldap_group_cache_validity (integer, default: top-level/300): Specifies in seconds how long is the user's membership in a group kept in the cache .
  • ldap_user_cache_size (integer, default: top-level/1000): Specifies how many shared roster items are kept in the cache.
  • ldap_group_cache_size (integer, default: top-level/1000): Specifies how many roster group entries are kept in cache.

Options: LDAP filters

  • ldap_rfilter (string, default: top-level/""): Used to find names of all shared roster groups.
  • ldap_gfilter (string, default: top-level/""): Used for retrieving the human-readable name and the members of a group.
  • ldap_ufilter (string, default: top-level/""): Used for retrieving the human-readable name of the roster entries.
  • ldap_filter (string, default: top-level/""): Filter AND-ed with previous filters.
