LDAP restricting some users

[Micky Arter]

Hi, We are just in the phase of Testing piler to use as our company's archiving solution. We have configured LDAP authentication and this is working well. However we have had a request from management that some users need to be Prevented from logging in to mailpiler ( is it possible to prevent a group users logging in via LDAP and if so can you please guide me to how this can be achieved.

Thanks

By default the gui doesn't restrict a valid user to log in. However a custom authentication hook is possible. To enable it add the following to config-site.php. The idea is to destroy his session data thus preventing him to login. I'll revise it tomorrow in case it doesn't work.

$config['CUSTOM_EMAIL_QUERY_FUNCTION'] = 'akakaak';

function akakaak($username = '') {
   $session = Registry::get('session');

   if(username == '[e-mail]')  {
      $session->set("auth_data", array());
   }
}

I have tried this but cannot seem to get this working. I am not very experienced with PHP but understand what we are trying to achieve.

OK, can we arrange a remote session via team viewer? Then I'd edit then custom function based on real data.
