Extended LDAP Groups

Submitted by ebeyrent on Thu, 05/20/2010 - 10:56

The Extended LDAP Groups module is an extension of the LDAP Groups module, which is part of http://drupal.org/project/ldap_integration.

While this isn't really ideal in the long run, it's a good starting point for people who need this functionality right away without having to hack up a contributed module. What I'd really like to see is that this code, or a better version of this code, gets merged into the ldapgroups module. If and when that happens, this module will go away.

This module supports:

Role creation, via the core Drupal roles admin form, synchronized as groups in LDAP
Added group creation LDIF template to the LDAP provisioning form
Role updates, via the core Drupal roles admin form, synchronized as groups in LDAP
Role deletes, via the core Drupal roles admin form, synchronized as groups in LDAP
Mass LDAP group imports as Drupal roles
Group membership updates when roles for a user are granted and/or revoked in Drupal via the core Drupal user form
Option to remove user from all LDAP groups when the user account is blocked in Drupal. When the user is unblocked, LDAP group membership is restored, based on the user's roles in Drupal
