Setting up matrix-ldap-registration-proxy (optional)

The playbook can install and configure matrix-ldap-registration-proxy for you.

This proxy handles Matrix registration requests and forwards them to LDAP.

Note: This does support the full Matrix specification for registrations. It only provide a very coarse implementation of a basic password registration.

Quickstart

Add the following configuration to your inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml file:

matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_enabled: true
# LDAP credentials
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_uri: <URI>
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_base_dn: <DN>
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_user: <USER>
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_password: <password>

If you already use the synapse external password provider via LDAP (that is, you have matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_ldap_enabled: true and other options in your configuration) you can use the following values as configuration:

# Use the LDAP values specified for the synapse role to setup LDAP proxy
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_uri: "{{ matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_ldap_uri }}"
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_base_dn: "{{ matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_ldap_base }}"
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_user: "{{ matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_ldap_bind_dn }}"
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_password: "{{ matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_ldap_bind_password }}"

matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_systemd_wanted_services_list_custom:
  - matrix-synapse.service

Installing

After configuring the playbook, run the installation command: just install-all or just setup-all
