LDAP¶
HedgeDoc can use one or multiple LDAP servers to authenticate users. To do this, you
first need to tell HedgeDoc identifiers for the servers you want to use (HD_AUTH_LDAP_SERVERS).
Then you need to provide the configuration for these LDAP servers
depending on how you want to use them.
Each of these variables will contain the identifier for the LDAP server.
For example, if you chose the identifier MYLDAP for your LDAP server, all variables
for this server will start with HD_AUTH_LDAP_MYLDAP_.
Replace $NAME with the identifier of the LDAP server in the table below accordingly.
