FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

SilverStripe Active Directory module

Build Status SilverStripe supported module

Introduction

This SilverStripe module provides Active Directory integration. It comes with three major components:

These components may be used in any combination, also alongside the default SilverStripe authentication scheme.

Requirements

This module has been tested on the following configurations:

This module has not been tested on non-Microsoft directory products, such as OpenLDAP.

Note: This module will not be supported on SilverStripe 4. Please use either silverstripe/ldap or silverstripe/saml for SilverStripe 4 compatibility.

Overview

(Image) Typical authentication and authorisation flow for this module

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an XML-based, open-standard data format for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties. The single most important requirement that SAML addresses is web browser single sign-on (SSO).

With this module, SilverStripe site is able to act as a SAML Service Provider (SP) entity, and thus allows users to perform a single sign-on against a centralised user directory (an Identity Provider - IdP).

The intended counterparty for this module is the Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS). ADFS is a software component developed by Microsoft that can be installed on Windows Server operating systems to provide users with single sign-on access to systems and applications located across organizational boundaries.

ADFS uses a claims-based access control authorization model to maintain application security and implement federated identity. We rely on this mechanism for authentication, and for automated synchronisation of some basic personal details into SilverStripe.

To synchronise further personal details, LDAP synchronisation feature can be used, also included in this module. This allows arbitrary fields to be synchronised - including binary fields such as photos. If relevant mappings have been configured in the CMS the module will also automatically maintain SilverStripe group memberships, which opens the way for an AD-centric authorisation.

If SAML authentication cannot be used, this module also provides an LDAP authenticator as an alternative.

Security

With appropriate configuration, this module provides a secure means of authentication and authorisation.

For secure communication over the internet during the SAML authentication process, users must communicate with SilverStripe and ADFS using HTTPS. Similarly, for AD authentication to be secure users must access the SilverStripe site using HTTPS.

SilverStripe trusts ADFS responses based on pre-shared x509 certificates. These certificates are exchanged between the Identity Provider (ADFS) and the Service Provider (SilverStripe site) during the initial configuration phase.

AD user synchronisation and authentication is hidden behind the backend (server to server communication), but must still use encrypted LDAP communication to prevent eavesdropping (either StartTLS or SSL - this is configurable). If the webserver and the AD server are hosted in different locations, a VPN could also be used to further encapsulate the traffic going over the public internet.
