.. ================================================== .. FOR YOUR INFORMATION .. -------------------------------------------------- .. -*- coding: utf-8 -*- with BOM. .. include:: ../Includes.txt .. _introduction: Introduction ============ .. _what-it-does: What does it do? ---------------- This extension enables import/update/deletion of users and groups (frontend, backend or both) from a LDAP-directory and provides Single Sign-On (:term:`SSO`) for frontend users. These features make it the perfect choice when deploying TYPO3 as an intranet CMS. In case the network topology makes it useful, this extension is able to work with multiple LDAP server configurations, with a priority order based on the manual sorting of configuration records. This extension is known to work with OpenLDAP and Active Directory (various versions). Please consult the :ref:`faq` for additional information. .. _screenshots: Screenshots ----------- .. figure:: ../Images/configuration-ldap.png :alt: Configuration of the LDAP server Configuration of the connection to the LDAP server .. figure:: ../Images/configuration-fe-users.png :alt: Configuration of the frontend users Configuration of the frontend authentication, how to map LDAP attributes to TYPO3 fields and which groups are required or should be automatically assigned .. figure:: ../Images/configuration-be-groups.png :alt: Configuration of backend groups Configuration of the retrieval of backend user groups .. figure:: ../Images/status.png :alt: LDAP status Status of the LDAP connection .. figure:: ../Images/search-wizard.png :alt: Search wizard Search wizard as backend module .. _sponsorship: Sponsorship ----------- *Causal Sàrl*, a Swiss company actively contributing to TYPO3, has taken over this extension which has been initially developed by *Infoglobe*, a Canadian company specialized in open-source software.
