semaphor-ldap

semaphor-ldap is a server+client app to enable the use of SpiderOak Semaphor with customer LDAP credentials.

Functionality and Features

• It offers a server application and a command line client application.
  • The server runs in the background as a daemon/service.
  • The command line client is used to configure the server.
• The server runs an scheduled ldap-sync operation, which performs the following actions:
  • Read LDAP accounts from a specified LDAP Group and creates Semaphor account for each entry.
  • Locks/Unlocks accounts depending on the account LDAP state.
  • Locks existing accounts prior to the server installation and locks them in a way they have to either join LDAP or change username (aka ldap-locked)
• Runs a scheduled backup of local data (it uses a private channel as a backup mechanism).
• It creates a LOG channel and adds admins of the LDAP team to it, ERROR messages are then logged to this channel.
• It automatically adds accounts to the Semaphor LDAP Team and prescribed channels.
• It allows signing in to Semaphor using LDAP credentials.
• Reports logging to Event on Windows and syslog in Linux (it can also log to a file).
