Getting user information out of AD2008R2 with LDAP

Getting user information out of AD2008R2 with LDAP was created by jvkuijk
Hi there,

We want in our Joomla 3.4.8 website all the information of users interactive out of Active Directory 2008 R2 in CB as users. Is that possible?

It's a one-way connection for us. We don't want to sent back information from Joomla/CB to Active Directory.

CB supports authentication plugins. Joomlas LDAP authentication plugin will work, but it will only create the users with the most basic of information. Ideally you'd make a custom LDAP authentication plugin that'd create a CB user and synchronize the information as needed. This would all happen on login attempt. The alternative is to have your Active Directory 2008 R2 fire a direct action in CB Auto Actions via URL that can register them.

Posting this to old LDAP threads, just as a convenience to Joomla LDAP authentication plugin users:

If you are using the LDAP authentication plugin of Joomla in Joomla 1.5 through 3.7.5: Stop what you are doing and Update immediately to Joomla 3.8.0 (LDAP-security release) !

If you don't understand what LDAP is, then it's not an issue for you (you should sure upgrade to Joomla 3.8, but it's not as urgent).
