Provides an solution for authentication users with LDAP for Laravel 5.0.x. It uses ADLDAP library to create a bridge between Laravel and LDAP

1. Install this package through Composer for Laravel v5.0:

   composer require dsdevbe/ldap-connector:3.*

   If you still want to use Ldap-connector for Laravel v4.2 please refer to the following package

   composer require dsdevbe/ldap-connector:2.*

2. Change the authentication driver in the Laravel config to use the ldap driver. You can find this in the following file config/auth.php

   'driver' => 'ldap',

3. Create a new configuration file ldap.php in the configuration folder of Laravel app/config/ldap.php and modify to your needs. For more detail of the configuration you can always check on ADLAP documentation

   return array(
   	'account_suffix'=>  "@domain.local",
   	'domain_controllers'=>  array("192.168.0.1", "dc02.domain.local"), // Load balancing domain controllers
   	'base_dn'   =>  'DC=domain,DC=local',
   );
   

4. Once this is done you arrived at the final step and you will need to add a service provider. Open config/app.php, and add a new item to the providers array.

   'Dsdevbe\LdapConnector\LdapConnectorServiceProvider'
   

The LDAP plugin is an extension of the AUTH class and will act the same as normal usage with Eloquent driver.

```
if (Auth::attempt(array('username' => $email, 'password' => $password)))
{
    return Redirect::intended('dashboard');
}
```

You can find more examples on Laravel Auth Documentation on using the Auth:: function.
