Laravel Jetstream

Introduction

Important: Before getting started, please complete the configuration guide.

Laravel Jetstream utilizes Laravel Fortify for authentication under the hood. We will customize various aspects of it to allow LDAP users to sign into the application.

Fortify Setup

Authentication Callback

For this example application, we will authenticate our LDAP users with their email address using the LDAP attribute mail.

For LdapRecord to properly locate the user in your directory during sign in, we will override Fortify's authentication callback using the Fortify::authenticateUsing() method in our AuthServiceProvider.php file:

// app/Providers/AuthServiceProvider.php

// ...
use Laravel\Fortify\Fortify;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

class AuthServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    // ...

    public function boot()
    {
        $this->registerPolicies();

        Fortify::authenticateUsing(function ($request) {
            $validated = Auth::validate([
                'mail' => $request->email,
                'password' => $request->password
            ]);

            return $validated ? Auth::getLastAttempted() : null;
        });
    }
}

As you can see above, we set the mail key which is passed to the LdapRecord authentication provider.

A search query will be executed on your LDAP directory for a user that contains the mail attribute equal to the entered email that the user has submitted on your login form. The password key will not be used in the search.

If a user cannot be located in your directory, or they fail authentication, they will be redirected to the login page normally with the "Invalid credentials" error message.

You may also add extra key => value pairs in the credentials array to further scope the LDAP query. The password key is automatically ignored by LdapRecord.

Feature Configuration

Since we are synchronizing data from our LDAP server, we must disable the following features by commenting them out inside of the config/fortify.php file:

// config/fortify.php

// Before:
'features' => [
    Features::registration(),
    Features::resetPasswords(),
    // Features::emailVerification(),
    Features::updateProfileInformation(),
    Features::updatePasswords(),
    // Features::twoFactorAuthentication(),
],

// After:
'features' => [
    // Features::registration(),
    // Features::resetPasswords(),
    // Features::emailVerification(),
    // Features::updateProfileInformation(),
    // Features::updatePasswords(),
    // Features::twoFactorAuthentication(),
],

Important: You may keep Features::registration() enabled if you would like to continue accepting local application user registration. Keep in mind, if you continue to allow registration, you will need to either use multiple Laravel authentication guards, or setup the login fallback feature.

Sessions

If you are using the database session driver, you must change the user_id column from its default type. This is due to LDAP Object GUID's being stored as the user's ID, which is not compatible with the unsigned big integer type:

From:

public function up()
{
    Schema::create('sessions', function (Blueprint $table) {
        // ...
        $table->foreignId('user_id')->nullable()->index();
        // ...
    });
}

To:

public function up()
{
    Schema::create('sessions', function (Blueprint $table) {
        // ...
        $table->uuid('user_id')->nullable()->index();
        // ...
    });
}

Using Usernames

To authenticate your users by their username we must adjust some scaffolded code generated by Laravel Jetstream.

In the following example, we will authenticate users by their sAMAccountName.

Fortify Setup

Authentication Callback

With our Fortiy configuration updated, we will jump into our AuthServiceProvider.php file and setup our authentication callback using the Fortify::authenticateUsing() method:

// app/Providers/AuthServiceProvider.php

// ...
use Laravel\Fortify\Fortify;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;

class AuthServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    // ...

    public function boot()
    {
        $this->registerPolicies();

        Fortify::authenticateUsing(function ($request) {
            $validated = Auth::validate([
                'samaccountname' => $request->username,
                'password' => $request->password
            ]);

            return $validated ? Auth::getLastAttempted() : null;
        });
    }
}

Username Configuration

Inside of our config/fortify.php file, we must change the username option to username from email:

// config/fortify.php

// Before:
'username' => 'email',

// After:
'username' => 'username',

You will notice above that we are passing in an array of credentials with samaccountname as the key, and the requests username form input.

Login View

Now we must open up the login.blade.php view and swap the current HTML input field from email to username so we can retrieve it properly in our Fortify::authenticateUsing() callback:

<!-- Before: -->
<div>
  <x-jet-label value="Email" />
  <x-jet-input
    class="block w-full mt-1"
    type="email"
    name="email"
    :value="old('email')"
    required
    autofocus
  />
</div>

<!-- After: -->
<div>
  <x-jet-label value="Username" />
  <x-jet-input
    class="block w-full mt-1"
    type="text"
    name="username"
    :value="old('username')"
    required
    autofocus
  />
</div>

Displaying LDAP Error Messages

When using Laravel Jetstream, LDAP error messages will now be displayed automatically to users. You do not need to configure or include the ListensForLdapBindFailure trait as you would using Laravel UI on the LoginController.

Altering the Response

Since this functionality is now automatically registered, if you would like to modify how an error is handled, call the setErrorHandler method on the BindFailureListener class inside of your AuthServiceProvider.php file:

// app/Providers/AuthServiceProvider.php

// ...
use LdapRecord\Laravel\Auth\BindFailureListener;

class AuthServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    // ...

    public function boot()
    {
        $this->registerPolicies();

        BindFailureListener::setErrorHandler(function ($message, $code = null) {
            if ($code == '773') {
                // The users password has expired. Redirect them.
                abort(redirect('/password-reset'));
            }
        });
    }
}

Refer to the Password Policy Errors documentation to see what each code means.

Changing the Error Messages

If you need to modify the translations of these error messages, create a new translation file named errors.php in your resources directory at the following path:

The vendor directory (and each sub-directory) will have to be created manually.

Laravel >= 9

lang/
└── vendor/
    └── ldap/
        └── en/
            └── errors.php

Laravel <= 8

resources/
└── lang/
    └── vendor/
        └── ldap/
            └── en/
                └── errors.php

Then, paste in the following translations in the file and modify where necessary:

<?php

return [
    'user_not_found' => 'User not found.',
    'user_not_permitted_at_this_time' => 'Not permitted to logon at this time.',
    'user_not_permitted_to_login' => 'Not permitted to logon at this workstation.',
    'password_expired' => 'Your password has expired.',
    'account_disabled' => 'Your account is disabled.',
    'account_expired' => 'Your account has expired.',
    'user_must_reset_password' => 'You must reset your password before logging in.',
    'user_account_locked' => 'Your account is locked.',
];
