CentOS 8.x Owncloud AD integration

For owncloud AD integration with owncloud 9.0 and user_ldap 0.8.0 use following steps:

1. Install and configure owncloud
2. Install required php packages:

   yum -y install php-ldap

3. Login into owncloud as Admin. Go to settings -> Apps -> Show disabled apps and see if LDAP integration plugin is installed but disabled. If there is no such plugin download appropriate version plugin based on owncloud version installed from Owncloud Marketplace https://marketplace.owncloud.com/apps/user_ldap
4. After installing LDAP module, ldap packages and enabling the ldap module, go to settings page of LDAP module
5. Then to add server on the server tab enter AD details including

   server host

   FQDN or IP

   port number

   389 should work

   Username

   Either AD administrator account or service account created for owncloud authentication purposes

   Password

   Appropriate password for the user

   DN

   Base DN should work

   Click Continue.

6. Then in users tab
   1. Leave person as value for "Only these object classes"
   2. Select appropriate AD groups which should be allowed to login. It makes sense to have a dedicated group in AD for owncloud users.
   3. Click "Verify settings and count users". We should see non-zero user count at this point.
   4. Click Continue.
7. Then in groups tab
   1. Leave group as value for "Only these object classes"
   2. In "Only from these groups" again select the same group selected during users tab
   3. Click Verify settings and count groups.
8. Click on expert button and set following values

   Internal Username Attribute

   SAMAccountName

   UUID Attribute for Users

   Leave it blank

   UUID Attribute for Groups

   Leave this blank

   Clear Username-LDAP User Mappings

   Click this once Do this only one a new server without any existing AD login

   Clear Groupname-LDAP Group Mappings

   Click this once Do this only one a new server without any existing AD login

9. Test configuration
10. Try to login as AD user and check that integration is working as expected.
