# Configuring Repository to use Active Directory

Microsoft Active Directory is a server program that provides directory services and uses the open industry standard Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).

To enable Active Directory support:

1. Open the Repository configuration file `$PREFIX/etc/anaconda-server/config.yaml` and add the following configuration:

       account_names_filter: false
       USER_REGEX: ^[a-z0-9_][a-z0-9_-.]+$
       LDAP:
           # Replace with company LDAP server
           'URI': 'ldap://<ldap.server.url>'

           # This BIND_DN/BIND_PASSWORD default to '', this is shown here for
           # demonstrative purposes. To enable Authorized Bind, insert the AD
           # BIND_DN and BIND_AUTH password for and authorized AD user.
           #
           #e.g. 'BIND_DN': '<cn=Authorized User,cn=users,dc=company,dc=local>'
           #e.g. 'BIND_AUTH': '<AuthUsrPassword>'

           # The values '' perform an anonymous bind so we may use search/bind method
           BIND_DN: ''
           BIND_AUTH: ''

           # Adding the USER_SEARCH field tells the flask-ldap-login that we
           # are using the search/bind method
           USER_SEARCH:
               base: <cn=users,dc=company,dc=local>
               filter: sAMAccountName=%(username)s

           # Map ldap keys into application specific keys
           KEY_MAP:
               name: 'cn'
               company: 'o'
               location: 'l'
               email: 'userPrincipalName'

2. To apply the changes, restart the Repository server:

       supervisorctl restart all

3. Run the `flask-ldap-login-check` command to verify Active Directory connectivity:

       flask-ldap-login-check binstar.wsgi:app --username 'jsmith' --password 'abc123DEF'

   NOTE: Replace `jsmith` and `abc123DEF` with your Active Directory username and password.

   You see a response similar to the following:

       [anaconda.server] Started Site
       Got userdata for jsmith
       {'company': None, 'email': None, 'location': None, 'name': 'Jane Smith'}

4. Open your browser and navigate to your local Repository installation:

       http://your.anaconda.repository

   NOTE: Replace `your.anaconda.repository` with your Repository IP address or domain name.

5. Log in with Active Directory.
