Logging In
Once you have configured a new authentication provider, you're ready to start logging users into your application.
Logging in is simple -- you only need to use Laravel's Auth
facade:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
$credentials = [
'mail' => '[email protected]',
'password' => 'password',
];
if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) {
$user = Auth::user();
return redirect('/dashboard')->with([
'message' => "Welcome back, {$user->getName()}"
]);
}
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 address. The password
key will not be used in the search.
If you wish to login a user by their username instead, simply change the mail
key
to whichever attribute you would like to locate the user by in your LDAP directory.
For example, samaccountname
:
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
$credentials = [
'samaccountname' => 'jdoe',
'password' => 'password',
];
if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) {
//
}
