Released 2019-08-26.

  • Fix default ldap settings overriding ldaprc values.
  • Allow joining LDAP entries based on DN attributes, e.g. to support role name synchronization using the Active Directory (AD) attributes sAMAccountName or userPrincipalName.

  • Support GSSAPI authentification for Kerberos. Thanks @djkube for testing.

ldap2pg 4.18

  • Fix ref discarding.
  • Ship official docker image: dalibo/ldap2pg.
  • Parse LDAP settings from YAML too.

ldap2pg 4.17

ldap2pg 4.14

  • Allow to exclude public from managed roles. When scoping ldap2pg to a subset of roles, ldap2pg was including the public role, always.

See Synchronize a subset of roles documentation section.

ldap2pg 4.13
