LdapContribGuiPlugin

Introduction

LdapContribGuiPlugin provides services to administer the LDAP cache created by TWiki:Plugins/LdapContrib, a BerkeleyDB v1 database created with the Perl module DB_File.

The topic requires the TWiki:Plugins/JQueryPlugin, TWiki:Plugins/JqPlotPlugin and TWiki:Plugins/LdapContrib.

LdapContrib cache admin panel

As of writing this, the services are present for members of the TWikiAdminGroup via the topic LdapContribAdmin.

The topic contains a single variable %LDAPCONTRIBADMIN% which is set via LdapContribGuiPlugin.pm given that:

1. The plugin is enabled in configure.
2. You are logged in.
3. You are a member of TWikiAdminGroup.
4. You are viewing the topic LdapContribAdmin.

Features

• View all users, displaying stored LDAP DN, emails, WikiName, created date and update date for every user.
  • Using a built-in search box you can narrow the search by searching for both login names and WikiNames using a regular expression.
• Change WikiName for users, allowing the WikiName you are changing to be preserved from being taken by other users.
• Delete users.

• View and delete ignored users and groups. These are groups that have been tried looked up in LDAP and which could not be found. The ignore lists prevents these entries to be looked up again to reduce the stress on the LDAP server.

• View groups with it's users.
  • Only users which is present in the LdapContrib cache are shown, not showing members only present on the LDAP server.
• Possibility to delete groups and it's user memberships (the users themselves are not touched by doing this).

• An overview, showing the number of stored user accounts, groups, ignored users and groups, as well as a dump of the LdapContrib settings.
• The overview also show's a graph displaying the number of user registrations per month through time. The graph is generated using TWiki:Plugins/JqPlotPlugin.

Further enhancements

As of writing this, I can envision the following features being implemented in the Plugin at a future date:

• Possibility for users to change their own WikiName.
