• This project is a web application that uses LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) for authentication.
• LDAP is a protocol used to access and maintain distributed directory information services over an Internet Protocol (IP) network.

This project uses environment variables for configuration. These variables are stored in a .env file. An example of this file, .env.example, is included in the project.

Here are the environment variables used in this project:

• AUTH_LDAP_SERVER_URI: This is the URI of your LDAP server. Replace your_ldap_server_uri with the actual URI.

• AUTH_LDAP_BIND_DN: This is the Distinguished Name (DN) to bind to the LDAP server. Replace your_ldap_bind_dn with the actual DN.

• AUTH_LDAP_BIND_PASSWORD: This is the password to bind to the LDAP server. Replace your_ldap_bind_password with the actual password.

To use these variables, copy .env.example to a new file named .env and replace the placeholders with your actual values.
