'''LDAP''' is our centralized authentication solution. You'll receive credentials when becoming a member. You can use them to authenticate in most of our services. As of February 2020 the only possibility to change your password is logging into the [[userbox]] and changing your password using <code>passwd</code>.
== Enabling LDAP authentication ==
To enable a service for LDAP authentication, you need to create a Service Account first. This can be done on [[ravenholm]], using shelldap. within <code>ou=Services,ou=People</code> you can create a service account using <code>touch</code> and modify it using <code>edit</code>. Within the authentication configuration of your service you need to specify the full hierarchy as the account name, e.g. <code>uid=example,ou=Services,ou=People,o=zombi</code>. The base DN for authentication is <code>ou=People,o=zombi</code>. The login attribute is the<code>uid</code>.
