Better Documentation / explanation of how to setup

[imp1sh]

Thank you so much for this solution, but I don't bring it up and running.
What I would need is just a little better explanation of what which parameter means.

In the first place I'd like to get authentication running in a more basic sense.
Secondly I also would like to create a group within my ldap structure that selects the users that may actually use etherpad (ACL).

Thank you

The plugin doesn't support a group ACL structure like you're requesting. The group that is defined is the group that should have administrative access. Any other user that passes the filters is allowed access to the pads.

Ok, thanks.
What about those two parameters?
"searchDN": "uid=searchuser,dc=example,dc=com",
"searchPWD": "supersecretpassword",
I suspect they are being to authenticate your script at the ldap service.
But what if I don't want to give credentials but want to search the tree actually anonymously?

When I was writing the module the LDAP library that I used didn't support anonymous binding. I haven't looked into if it does now or not. As such, this plugin requires a user for doing information lookups.
