> LDAP Authentication your [Backstage](https://backstage.io/) deployment
This package is the Backend Provider to add LDAP authentication to your Backstage instance!

- Customizable: Authentication request format and marshaling of the response can be injected with custom ones;
- Works on simple stand-alone process or scaled infrastracture spanning multiple deployments using the shared PostgreSQL instance that Backstage already uses;

This plugin is not meant to be used alone but in pair with:

- The official [@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-ldap](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-ldap) which keeps in sync your LDAP users with Backstage user catalogs!
- Its sibling frontend package [@immobiliarelabs/backstage-plugin-ldap-auth](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@immobiliarelabs/backstage-plugin-ldap-auth)

All the current LTS versions are supported.

## Installation

> These packages are available on npm.
You can install them in your backstage installation using `yarn workspace`

```bash
# install yarn if you don't have it
$ npm install -g yarn
# install backend plugin
$ yarn workspace backend add @immobiliarelabs/backstage-plugin-ldap-auth-backend
# install frontend plugin
$ yarn workspace app add @immobiliarelabs/backstage-plugin-ldap-auth
```

## Configurations

> This documentation assumes that you have already scaffolded your Backstage instance from the official `@backstage/create-app`, all files that we're going to customize here are the one already created by the CLI!
### Setup

If you didn't have already, you need to configure Backstage's official LDAP plugin, that is needed to import and keep in syncs users your LDAP users.

```sh
# in your backstage repo
yarn add @backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-ldap
```

> `packages/backend/src/plugins/catalog.ts`
```ts
import type { Router } from 'express';
import type { PluginEnvironment } from '../types';

import { CatalogBuilder } from '@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend';
import { ScaffolderEntitiesProcessor } from '@backstage/plugin-scaffolder-backend';
import {
LdapOrgEntityProvider,
} from '@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend-module-ldap';

export default async function createPlugin(
env: PluginEnvironment,
): Promise<Router> {
const builder = await CatalogBuilder.create(env);

builder.addEntityProvider(
LdapOrgEntityProvider.fromConfig(env.config, {
id: '<YOUR-ID>',
target: 'ldaps://<YOUR-ADDRESS>',
logger: env.logger,
schedule: env.scheduler.createScheduledTaskRunner({
frequency: // whatever
timeout: // whatever
}),
}),
);

builder.addProcessor(new ScaffolderEntitiesProcessor());
const { processingEngine, router } = await builder.build();
await processingEngine.start();
return router;
}
```

### Connection Configuration

> Adds connection configuration inside your backstage YAML config file, eg: `app-config.yaml`
We use [`ldap-authentication`](https://github.com/shaozi/ldap-authentication) for authentication, you can find all the configurations at this [link], `ldapOpts` fields are options provided to lower level ldap client read more at [`ldapjs` ](https://github.com/ldapjs/node-ldapjs)

> Add in you You backstage configuration file
```yml
auth:
environment: { ENV_NAME } # eg: production|staging|review|develop
providers:
ldap:
# eg: production|staging|review|develop
{ ENV_NAME }:
cookies:
secure: false # https cookies or not
field: 'backstage-token' # default

ldapAuthenticationOptions:
userSearchBase: 'ou=users,dc=ns,dc=farm' # REQUIRED
# what is the user unique key in your ldap instance
usernameAttribute: 'uid' # defaults to `uid`
# directory where to search user
# default search will be `[userSearchBase]=[username],[userSearchBase]`

# User able to list other users, this is used
# to check incoming JWT if user are already part of the LDAP
# NOTE: If no admin user/pass provided we'll attempt a credential-less search
adminDn: uid={ADMIN_USERNAME},ou=users,dc=ns,dc=farm
adminPassword: ''

ldapOpts:
url:
- 'ldaps://123.123.123.123'
tlsOptions:
rejectUnauthorized: false
```
### Add the authentication backend plugin
This is for a basic usage: - single process - No custom auth or user object marshaling - in-memory sessions
For more uses cases you can see the [example folders](https://github.com/immobiliare/backstage-plugin-ldap-auth/tree/main/examples)
> `packages/backend/src/plugins/auth.ts`

```ts
const backend = createBackend();
...
backend.add(import('@immobiliarelabs/backstage-plugin-ldap-auth-backend'));
...
backend.start();
```

If you want to connect to Postgres for the store of the token (default is in memory):

```ts
// index.ts
import { tokenValidatorFactory } from '@immobiliarelabs/backstage-plugin-ldap-auth-backend';
...
backend.add(import('@immobiliarelabs/backstage-plugin-ldap-auth-backend'));
backend.add(tokenValidatorFactory({ createTokenValidator }));
...
backend.start();
// auth.ts
createTokenValidator(config: Config): TokenValidator {
...
const url = `postgresql://${user}:${password}@${host}:${port}/mydb`;
return new JWTTokenValidator(
new Keyv(url, { table: 'token' })
);
}

```

### Custom LDAP Configurations

If your LDAP server connection options requires more fine tune than we handle here you can inject your custom auth function, take a look at `ldap.create` types at `resolvers.ldapAuthentication`, you can copy the default function and change what you need!

This can be also done for the `resolvers.checkUserExists` function, which runs when controlling a JWT token.

#### Custom authentication function

```ts
import {
coreServices,
createBackendModule,
} from '@backstage/backend-plugin-api';
import { ldapAuthExtensionPoint } from '@immobiliarelabs/backstage-plugin-ldap-auth-backend';

export default createBackendModule({
pluginId: 'auth',
moduleId: 'ldap-ext',
register(reg) {
reg.registerInit({
deps: {
config: coreServices.rootConfig,
ldapAuth: ldapAuthExtensionPoint,
},
async init({ config, ldapAuth }) {
ldapAuth.set({
resolvers: {
async ldapAuthentication(
username,
password,
ldapOptions,
authFunction
): LDAPUser {
// modify your ldapOptions and do whatever you need to format it
// ...
const user = await authFunction(ldapOptions);
return { uid: user.uid };
},
},
});
},
});
},
});
```

#### Custom check if user exists

```ts
export default createBackendModule({
pluginId: 'auth',
moduleId: 'ldap-ext',
register(reg) {
reg.registerInit({
deps: {
config: coreServices.rootConfig,
ldapAuth: ldapAuthExtensionPoint,
},
async init({ config, ldapAuth }) {
ldapAuth.set({
resolvers: {
async checkUserExists(
ldapAuthOptions,
searchFunction
): Promise<boolean> {
const { username } = ldapAuthOptions;

// Do you custom checks
// ....

return true;
},
},
});
},
});
},
});
```

### Add the login form

> More on this in the frontend plugin documentation [here](../ldap-auth/README.md)
We need to replace the existing Backstage demo authentication page with our custom one!

In the `App.tsx` file, change the `createApp` function adding a `components` with our custom `SignInPage`In the `App.tsx` file change the `createApp` function to provide use our custom `SignInPage` in the `components` key.

**Note:** This components isn't only UI, it also brings all the token state management and HTTP API calls to the backstage auth routes we already configured in the backend part.

> `packages/app/src/App.tsx`
```tsx
import { LdapAuthFrontendPage } from '@immobiliarelabs/backstage-plugin-ldap-auth';

const app = createApp({
// ...
components: {
SignInPage: (props) => (
<LdapAuthFrontendPage {...props} provider="ldap" />
),
},
// ...
});
```

And you're ready to go! If you need more use cases, like having multiple processes and need a shared token store instead of in-memory look at the [example folders](https://github.com/immobiliare/backstage-plugin-ldap-auth/examples/)

## Powered Apps

Backstage Plugin LDAP Auth was created by the amazing Node.js team at [ImmobiliareLabs](http://labs.immobiliare.it/), the Tech dept of [Immobiliare.it](https://www.immobiliare.it), the #1 real estate company in Italy.

We are currently using Backstage Plugin LDAP Auth in our products as well as our internal toolings.
