Provider [ldap] does not exist.

[luis-gmonkey]

Hello again

I'm having trouble executing php artisan ldap:import I get returned Provider [ldap] does not exist.
I have already implemented the authentication and works like a charm,

I don't know if I can post this here as well but I how can I execute some code after the user is first being imported/syncronized from the login? In my situation I'm using spatie Laravel-Permission and I want to give some permissions/roles to that user after the first login or when it gets imported.

Hi @luis-gmonkey,

When calling php artisan ldap:import, you must supply the authentication provider's key if it is not named ldap. For example, in the below config/auth.php file, I have a provider named users:

// config/auth.php

'users' => [
    'driver' => 'ldap',
    'model' => \LdapRecord\Models\ActiveDirectory\User::class,
    'database' => [
        // ...
    ],
],

Then to run the import on this authentication provider, I would execute the below command:

php artisan ldap:import users

Hope this helps!

In regards to your second question, I would register a listener on one of the events here:

https://github.com/DirectoryTree/LdapRecord-Laravel/tree/master/src/Events/Import

In your case, you would register a listener in the EventServiceProvider on the LdapRecord Imported event, which gives you access to both the LDAP user who was imported for the first time (or is logging in for the first time and is being imported), along with their saved and synchronized model instance.

The Imported event will have the $object property to access the LDAP object, and the $eloquent property to access the Eloquent model instance:

public function handle(Imported $event)
{
    // Instance of LdapRecord\Models\Model
    $event->object;
    
    // Instance of Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model
    $event->eloquent;
}

Hi @stevebauman bother you again ain't I? hehehe

Oh damm, I was missing users. -.-'

Can you help me with my second question? Or point me in the right way?

I'll be trying with the boot method of the model, but I'm just asking in case theres already some solution or i could do it better with any method from LdapRecord.

Edit: Thx, @stevebauman you were faster than me. You are the best. =)

Always happy to help @luis-gmonkey! Appreciate it 😄

@stevebauman : I run into the same problem. Since your example auth.php, in Running the command uses provider ldapand you then say:

php artisan ldap:import users

This seems inconsistent som may be you should change the documentation to:

php artisan ldap:import ldap

Agree?

[stevebauman]

Thanks @acharseth, I agree. I've just patched the documentation to all reference the same users provider everywhere 👍

The docs now no longer show any reference to an ldap auth provider.
