Free Overleaf Ldap Implementation
This repo contains an improved, free ldap authentication and authorisation
for sharelatex/overleaf community
edition. Currently this repo uses sharelatex/sharelatex:4.2.0
.
The inital idea for this implementation was taken from worksasintended.
BREAKING CHANGE
Be careful if you try to migrate from 3.3.2! Backup your machines and data. The migration paths should be:
- Backup your machines and data
- Run latest 3.5 sharelatex image, make sure that you have enough free space and run the migration scripts:
- (Details see https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf/wiki/Full-Project-History-Migration)
- in principle following commands should work
docker exec -it sharelatex-container-name /bin/bash cd /overleaf/services/web node scripts/history/migrate_history.js --force-clean --fix-invalid-characters --convert-large-docs-to-file
- run this sharelatex image (4.2.0)
Limitations
NEW: This version provides the possibility to use a separate ldap bind user. It does this just to find the proper BIND DN and record for the provided email, so it is possible that users from different groups / OUs can login. Afterwards it tries to bind to the ldap (using ldapts) with the user DN and credentials of the user which tries to login. No hassle of password hashing for LDAP pwds!
If you upgrade from an older commit:
Note:
- you have to add: uid=%u to your BIND_DN
- LDAP_GROUP_FILTER is now named LDAP_USER_FILTER
- Import of contacts from LDAP is now controlled by LDAP_CONTACT_FILTER
Only valid LDAP users or email users registered by an admin can login.
This module authenticates against the local DB if ALLOW_EMAIL_LOGIN
is set to true
if this fails
it tries to authenticate against the specified LDAP server.
Note:
- LDAP Users can not change their password for the ldap username login. They have to change it at the ldap server.
- LDAP Users can reset their local db password. Then they can decide if they login with either their ldap user and password or with their email and local db password.
- Users can not change their email. The email address is taken from the ldap server (mail) field. (or by invitation through an admin). This ldap mail field has to contain a valid mail address. Firstname and lastname are taken from the fields "givenName" and "sn". If you want to use different fields change the code in AuthenticationManager.js lines 297-299.
- Admins can invite non ldap users directly (via email). Additionally (
link sharing
of projects is possible).
Important: Sharelatex/Overleaf uses the email address to identify users: If you change the email in the LDAP/OAuth you have to update the corresponding field in the mongo db.
docker exec -it mongo /bin/bash
mongo
use sharelatex
db.users.find({email:"EMAIL"}).pretty()
db.users.update({email : OLDEMAIL},{$set: { email : NEWEMAIL}});
Configuration
Domain Configuration
Edit the .env file
MYDOMAIN=example.com
MYMAIL=email@example.com
MYDATA=/data
MYDATA is the location (mount-point) for all data and will hold several directories:
- mongo_data: Mongo DB
- redis_data: Redis dump.rdb
- sharelatex: all projects, tmp files, user files templates and ...
- letsencrypt: https certificates
MYDOMAIN is the FQDN for sharelatex and traefik (letsencrypt) or certbot
MYDOMAIN:8443 Traefik Dashboard (docker-compose-traefik.yml) - Login uses traefik/user.htpasswd : user:admin pass:adminPass change this (e.g. generate a password with htpasswd)
MYMAIL is the admin mailaddress
LOGIN_TEXT=username
COLLAB_TEXT=Direct share with collaborators is enabled only for activated users!
ADMIN_IS_SYSADMIN=false
LOGIN_TEXT : displayed instead of email-adress field (login.pug)
COLLAB_TEXT : displayed for email invitation (share.pug)
ADMIN_IS_SYSADMIN : false or true (if false
isAdmin group is allowed to add users to sharelatex and post messages. if true
isAdmin group is allowed to logout other users / set maintenance mode)
LDAP Configuration
Edit docker-compose.treafik.yml or docker-compose.certbot.yml to fit your local setup.
LDAP_SERVER: ldaps://LDAPSERVER:636
LDAP_BASE: dc=DOMAIN,dc=TLD
# If LDAP_BINDDN is set, the ldap bind happens directly by using the provided DN
# All occurrences of `%u` get replaced by the entered uid.
# All occurrences of `%m`get replaced by the entered mail.
LDAP_BINDDN: uid=%u,ou=people,dc=DOMAIN,dc=TLD
LDAP_BIND_USER: cn=ldap_reader,dc=DOMAIN,dc=TLS
LDAP_BIND_PW: TopSecret
# users need to match this filter to login.
# All occurrences of `%u` get replaced by the entered uid.
# All occurrences of `%m`get replaced by the entered mail.
LDAP_USER_FILTER: '(&(memberof=GROUPNAME,ou=groups,dc=DOMAIN,dc=TLD)(uid=%u))'
# If user is in ADMIN_GROUP on user creation (first login) isAdmin is set to true.
# Admin Users can invite external (non ldap) users. This feature makes only sense
# when ALLOW_EMAIL_LOGIN is set to 'true'. Additionally admins can send
# system wide messages.
# All occurrences of `%u` get replaced by the entered uid.
# All occurrences of `%m`get replaced by the entered mail.
#LDAP_ADMIN_GROUP_FILTER: '(memberof=cn=ADMINGROUPNAME,ou=groups,dc=DOMAIN,dc=TLD)'
ALLOW_EMAIL_LOGIN: 'false'
# All users in the LDAP_CONTACT_FILTER are loaded from the ldap server into contacts.
LDAP_CONTACT_FILTER: (objectClass=person)
LDAP_CONTACTS: 'false'
LDAP Contacts
If you enable LDAP_CONTACTS, then all users in LDAP_CONTACT_FILTER are loaded from the ldap server into the contacts. At the moment this happens every time you click on "Share" within a project. if you want to enable this function set:
LDAP_CONTACT_FILTER: (objectClass=person)
LDAP_CONTACTS: 'true'

Sharelatex Configuration
Edit SHARELATEX_ environment variables in docker-compose.traefik.yml or docker-compose.certbot.yml to fit your local setup (e.g. proper SMTP server, Header, Footer, App Name,...). See https://github.com/overleaf/overleaf/wiki/Quick-Start-Guide for more details.
Installation, Usage and Initial startup
Install the docker engine: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/
Install docker-compose:
(if you need pip: apt install python3-pip)
pip install docker-compose
use the following commands:
bash scripts/extract_files.sh 4.2.0
bash scripts/apply_diffs.sh
make
to generate the ldap-overleaf-sl docker image.
use the command:
docker network create web
to create a network for the docker instances.
Startup
Using without proxy
In most cases, you should use a gateway reverse proxy for your requests (see the next section), as they can offer many benefits such as enhanced security and easier SSL certificate updates. This simple startup method is used for 1. Development 2. When you know what you're doing, for example, when there is an additional gateway layer outside your server.
Start docker containers:
docker-compose up -d
Using proxy
There are 2 different ways of starting either using Traefik or using Certbot. Adapt the one you want to use.
Using Traefik
Then start docker containers (with loadbalancer):
export NUMINSTANCES=1
docker-compose -f docker-compose.traefik.yml up -d --scale sharelatex=$NUMINSTANCES
Using Certbot
Enable line 65/66 and 69/70 in ldapoverleaf-sl/Dockerfile and make
again.
docker-compose -f docker-compose.certbot.yml up -d
Debug
- Set the env variable
LOG_LEVEL
todebug
(default is info - you can do this in the docker-compose file) - Check the logs in ShareLaTeX, particularly at
/var/log/sharelatex/web.log
. You can do this by using the command:docker exec ldap-overleaf-sl cat /var/log/sharelatex/web.log
.
Development
- Cloning this repo
- Extract files from image using
bash scripts/extract_files SHARELATEX_VERSION
- Generate modified files using
bash scripts/apply_patches.sh
- Development
- Create diff files using
bash script/make_diffs.sh
and commit
Upgrading
Be aware: if you upgrade from a previous installation check your docker image version
E.g.: Mongodb: You cannot upgrade directly from mongo 4.2 to 5.0. You must first upgrade from 4.2 to 4.4. Do not upgrade without proper testing and Backup your installation beforehand.
