This patch allows anonymous and user based authentication to LDAP servers. This change is based on a patch against bn-ldap-authentication: - https://github.com/blindsidenetworks/bn-ldap-authentication/pull/2 The patch introduces a new environment variable `LDAP_AUTH` which controls the authentication method used against the LDAP server: - `anonymous` enables an anonymous bind to the LDAP with no password being used. - `user` uses the user's own credentials to search for his data, enabling authenticated login to LDAP without the need for a user with global read privileges. The default still remains at using a bind user, allowing for a seamless upgrade path from the previous version. This fixes #1082 Co-authored-by: Jesus Federico <jesus@123it.ca>
Greenlight
Greenlight is a simple front-end interface for your BigBlueButton server. At it's heart, Greenlight provides a minimalistic web-based application that allows users to:
- Signup/Login with Google, Office365, or through the application itself.
- Manage your account settings and user preferences.
- Create and manage your own personal rooms (BigBlueButton sessions).
- Invite others to your room using a simple URL.
- View recordings and share them with others.
Interested? Try Greenlight out on our demo server!
Greenlight is also completely configurable. This means you can turn on/off features to make Greenlight fit your specific use case. For more information on Greenlight and its features, see our documentation.
For a overview of how Greenlight works, checkout our Introduction to Greenlight Video:
Installation on a BigBlueButton Server
Greenlight is designed to work on a BigBlueButton 2.0 (or later) server.
For information on installing Greenlight, checkout our Installing Greenlight on a BigBlueButton Server documentation.
Source Code & Contributing
Greenlight is built using Ruby on Rails. Many developers already know Rails well, and we wanted to create both a full front-end to BigBlueButton but also a reference implementation of how to fully leverage the BigBlueButton API.
We invite you to build upon Greenlight and help make it better. See Contributing to BigBlueButton.
We invite your feedback, questions, and suggests about Greenlight too. Please post them to the developer mailing list.
