DbpRelayBasePersonConnectorLdapBundle

GitLab | Packagist

This Symfony bundle contains LDAPPersonProvider services for the DBP Relay project.

Integration into the API Server

  • Add the bundle package as a dependency:
# You may want to first add the DBP Symfony recipe repository to your application to get the configuration file installed automatically
# See: https://github.com/digital-blueprint/symfony-recipes
# You can also use https://gitlab.tugraz.at/dbp/relay/dbp-relay-server-template as a template application, it has the repository included
composer require dbp/relay-base-person-connector-ldap-bundle
  • Add the bundle to your config/bundles.php:
...
Dbp\Relay\BasePersonConnectorLdapBundle\DbpRelayBasePersonConnectorLdapBundle::class => ['all' => true],
DBP\API\CoreBundle\DbpCoreBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];
  • Run composer install to clear caches

Configuration

The bundle has some configuration values that you can specify in your app, either by hard-coding it, or by referencing an environment variable.

For this create config/packages/dbp_relay_base_person_connector_ldap.yaml in the app with the following content:

dbp_relay_base_person_connector_ldap:
  ldap:
    host: '%env(LDAP_PERSON_PROVIDER_LDAP_HOST)%'
    base_dn: '%env(LDAP_PERSON_PROVIDER_LDAP_BASE_DN)%'
    username: '%env(LDAP_PERSON_PROVIDER_LDAP_USERNAME)%'
    password: '%env(LDAP_PERSON_PROVIDER_LDAP_PASSWORD)%'
    attributes:
      identifier: '%env(LDAP_PERSON_PROVIDER_LDAP_ATTRIBUTE_IDENTIFIER)%'
      given_name: '%env(LDAP_PERSON_PROVIDER_LDAP_ATTRIBUTE_GIVEN_NAME)%'
      family_name: '%env(LDAP_PERSON_PROVIDER_LDAP_ATTRIBUTE_FAMILY_NAME)%'
      email: '%env(LDAP_PERSON_PROVIDER_LDAP_ATTRIBUTE_EMAIL)%'
      birthday: '%env(LDAP_PERSON_PROVIDER_LDAP_ATTRIBUTE_BIRTHDAY)%'

For more info on bundle configuration see https://symfony.com/doc/current/bundles/configuration.html

Events

To modify the behavior of the connector bundle the following events are registered:

PersonUserItemPreEvent

This event allows to modify the identifier before a user is loaded from LDAP.

An event subscriber receives a \Dbp\Relay\BasePersonConnectorLdapBundle\Event\PersonUserItemPreEvent instance in a service for example in src/EventSubscriber/PersonUserItemSubscriber.php:

<?php

namespace App\EventSubscriber;

use Dbp\Relay\BasePersonConnectorLdapBundle\Event\PersonUserItemPreEvent;
use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;

class PersonUserItemSubscriber implements EventSubscriberInterface
{
    public static function getSubscribedEvents(): array
    {
        return [
            PersonUserItemPreEvent::NAME => 'onPre',
        ];
    }

    public function onPre(PersonUserItemPreEvent $event)
    {
        $identifier = $event->getIdentifier();

        // Example:
        // Replace once or double encoded $ character at the start like "%2524F1234" or "%24F1234"
        $identifier = preg_replace('/^%(25)?24/', '$', $identifier);

        $event->setIdentifier($identifier);
    }
}

PersonForExternalServiceEvent

Some integration services may need to fetch a person from an external API with a \Dbp\Relay\BasePersonBundle\API\PersonProviderInterface, for example:

$person = $this->personProvider->getPersonForExternalService('SOME_SERVICE', $userId);

To implement such a fetch process from an external API this event can be used.

An event subscriber receives a \Dbp\Relay\BasePersonConnectorLdapBundle\Event\PersonForExternalServiceEvent instance in a service for example in src/EventSubscriber/PersonForExternalServiceSubscriber.php:

<?php

namespace App\EventSubscriber;

use Dbp\Relay\BasePersonConnectorLdapBundle\Event\PersonForExternalServiceEvent;
use Dbp\Relay\BasePersonConnectorLdapBundle\Service\LDAPApi;
use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;
use App\Service\ExternalApi;

class PersonForExternalServiceSubscriber implements EventSubscriberInterface
{
    private $ldap;
    private $externalApi;

    public function __construct(LDAPApi $ldap, ExternalApi $externalApi)
    {
        $this->ldap = $ldap;
        $this->externalApi = $externalApi;
    }

    public static function getSubscribedEvents(): array
    {
        return [
            PersonForExternalServiceEvent::NAME => 'onEvent',
        ];
    }

    public function onEvent(PersonForExternalServiceEvent $event)
    {
        $service = $event->getService();
        $serviceID = $event->getServiceID();

        if ($service === 'SOME_SERVICE') {
            $user = $this->externalApi->getPersonUserItemByExternalUserId($serviceID);
            $person = $this->ldap->personFromUserItem($user, true);
            $event->setPerson($person);
        }
    }
}

PersonFromUserItemPostEvent

This event allows to modify the person after it is converted from an LDAP User. You can use this for example to populate the person with additional data.

An event subscriber receives a \Dbp\Relay\BasePersonConnectorLdapBundle\Event\PersonFromUserItemPostEvent instance in a service for example in src/EventSubscriber/PersonFromUserItemSubscriber.php:

<?php

namespace App\EventSubscriber;

use Dbp\Relay\BasePersonConnectorLdapBundle\Event\PersonFromUserItemPostEvent;
use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;

class PersonFromUserItemSubscriber implements EventSubscriberInterface
{
    public static function getSubscribedEvents(): array
    {
        return [
            PersonFromUserItemPostEvent::NAME => 'onPost',
        ];
    }

    public function onPost(PersonFromUserItemPostEvent $event)
    {
        $attributes = $event->getAttributes();
        $person = $event->getPerson();

        $birthDateString = trim($attributes['dateofbirth'][0] ?? '');

        if ($birthDateString !== '') {
            $matches = [];

            if (preg_match('/^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2})$/', $birthDateString, $matches)) {
                $person->setBirthDate("{$matches[1]}-{$matches[2]}-{$matches[3]}");
            // get birthday from LDAP DateOfBirth (e.g. 19810718)
            } elseif (preg_match('/^(\d{4})(\d{2})(\d{2})$/', $birthDateString, $matches)) {
                $person->setBirthDate("{$matches[1]}-{$matches[2]}-{$matches[3]}");
            // sometimes also "1994-06-14 00:00:00"
            } elseif (preg_match('/^(\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2}) .*$/', $birthDateString, $matches)) {
                $person->setBirthDate("{$matches[1]}-{$matches[2]}-{$matches[3]}");
            }
        }

        $person->setExtraData('special_data', $attributes['some_special_attribute'] ?? '');

        $event->setPerson($person);
    }
}
