# Setting up matrix-ldap-registration-proxy (optional)

The playbook can install and configure [matrix-ldap-registration-proxy](https://gitlab.com/activism.international/matrix_ldap_registration_proxy) for you.

This proxy handles Matrix registration requests and forwards them to LDAP.

**Please note:** This does support the full Matrix specification for registrations. It only provide a very coarse
implementation of a basic password registration.

## Quickstart

Add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml` file:

```yaml
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_enabled: true
```

That is enough if you use the synapse external password provider via LDAP.
If you want to use your own credentials add the following to your  `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml`:



# LDAP credentials
```yaml
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_uri: <URI>
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_base_dn: <DN>
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_user: <USER>
matrix_ldap_registration_proxy_ldap_password: <password>
```
TODO: is the block above correct? Else indicate that it can only be used with the LDAP password provider for Synapse
