Overview

Noodle can use LDAP with AD to authenticate as well as import users and groups.

Noodle Prerequisites

• Before enabling LDAP in Noodle ensure your license key will accommodate the total number of users( local and from the AD group).
• Using SSL may require a client certificate installed on the Noodle server.

Configuration

The AD settings are in System Tools > Settings > Single Sign-On.

1. Toggle Enabled to Yes
2. Enter the Name or IP address of your DC
3. Make a new user in AD in the Users Container with rights to search other users, and enter the display name and primary FQDN in the Noodle Administrative field, password in the password field.
   • yes the display name, not the user name.
   • Add the service user account to the "Read-only Domain Controllers" security group if read only is enabled in the Noodle AD settings.
4. Make a new Security Group in AD, add some users and groups to it, and tell Noodle it's name.
5. Tell Noodle the primary Domain of the users in the security group
6. Save

You should see “Active Directory is synchronized” display at the bottom of the page after the first sync is complete.

Additional Information

• Synchronizing fields: firstname, lastname, email, phone1, phone2, pager, mobile, fax, address, city, state, country, zip, note, expiry, change password on login, locked, manager (read only)
• Other synchronizing fields can be added in "System Tools > People > Administration > Settings > User Fields" (add "CN=sAMAccountName" to enable 1996 authentication)
• Noodle imports ONLY users and groups that are directly members to the “Group Name” specified in Noodle (users from sub groups will not be imported) and users must have a matching primary "domain" specified in Noodle.
• AD changes are reflected in Noodle every 10 minutes by default.
• Authentication requests are forwarded from Noodle to Active Directory in real time.
• Multiple DCs can be used by separating the settings with commas.
  • The same number of commas should exist in all settings (think spreadsheet).
• Backup DCs can be used by separating the IPs with semicolons.
• When configuring AD from the cloud, port forwarding (or firewall rules and routes) must be configured. Please review the Microsoft documentation:
  •  AD Security
  •  AD Firewalls
• See also the AD Troubleshooting Guide.

What it does:

• When the page loads the buttons are changed to will wait for a calendar entry to be made before submitting the form.

How to do it:

1. Make your Calendar and Database applications, add at least a text and date element to your Database.
2. Note the folder id and event type from the Calendar. Note the date and button element ids on the form.
3. Customize the following sample script accordingly.
4. Add the script to a rich text element in the form.

<script>
	function init() {
		if(document.location.href.indexOf("MainWindow.po")<0 || document.location.href.indexOf("formHandle")>0 ){
			return;
		}
		document.getElementById("add").type="button";
		document.getElementById("addAnother").type="button";
		top.noodle.cbc.addEventListener(document.getElementById("add"), 'click', doit);
		top.noodle.cbc.addEventListener(document.getElementById("addAnother"), 'click', doit);
	}
	
	function doit() {
		document.getElementById("lowerButtonBar").style.display="none";
		var folder="256272"
		var evetnTypeID="3511";
		var title="Training "+top.noodle.headWindow().document.getElementById("currentUserName").innerHTML;
		var day=document.getElementById("day_220063").value;
		var month=document.getElementById("month_220063").value;
		var year=document.getElementById("year_220063").value;
		month=parseInt(month)-1;
		var vars="";
		vars+="folder="+folder;
		vars+="&eventid=new";
		vars+="&addedRecipients=";
		vars+="&title="+title;
		vars+="&isAllDay=";
		vars+="&isPrivate=";
		vars+="&eventType="+evetnTypeID;
		vars+="&quickSave=Quick Save";
		vars+="&repeat=";
		vars+="&eventColorName=LightBlue";
		vars+="&eventColor=#add8e6";
		vars+="&save=Save";
		vars+="&selMonth="+month;
		vars+="&selDay="+day;
		vars+="&selYear="+year;
		vars+="&startHour=9";
		vars+="&startMinute=00";
		vars+="&am_pm=am";
		vars+="&durationMonth="+month;
		vars+="&durationDay="+day;
		vars+="&durationYear="+year;
		vars+="&durationHour=5";
		vars+="&durationMinute=00";
		vars+="&duration_am_pm=pm";
		vars+="&TimeZone=6";
		vars+="&eventLocation=";
		vars+="&groupsAndUsersList=";
		vars+="&addedGroupsAndUsers=";
		vars+="&endAfterN=1";
		top.noodle.ajax.post("/calendar/HandleEventView.po", vars, handle_doit, []);
		return false;
	}
	
	function handle_doit(xml, txt, array) {
		top.noodle.cbc.removeEventListener(document.getElementById('add'), 'click', doit);
		top.noodle.cbc.removeEventListener(document.getElementById('addAnother'), 'click', doit);
		document.getElementById("lowerButtonBar").style.display="block";
		document.mainform.submit();
	}
	
	window.onload = init;
	
</script>

<script>
function loadjsfile(filename){
  var fileref=document.createElement('script');
  fileref.setAttribute("type","text/javascript");
  fileref.setAttribute("src", filename);
  if (typeof fileref!="undefined"){
    document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(fileref);
  }
}
var link=document.getElementById("elementValue_10");
if(link){
    link=link.firstChild;
    if(link){
        link=link.href;
        if(link.length>10){
            link="/feed2js/feed2js.php?targ=y&move=elementValue_10&src="+encodeURI(link);
            loadjsfile(link);
        }
    }
}
</script>

replace elementValue_10 with the id of the RSS feed you want to use from the entry.
This will work on newer browsers:

<script src="/feed2js/feed2js.php?targ=y&move=demo&src=http://my.domain.tld/feed.rss"></script>
<div id="demo"> </div>

You need custom scripts enabled.

top.document.title = "Intranet";
function titleChange() {
    if(!top.noodle || !top.noodle.core || !top.noodle.core.title){
        setTimeout("titleChange();", 1000);
        return;
    }
    top.noodle.core.title="Intranet";
    top.document.title = top.noodle.core.title;
}
setTimeout("titleChange();", 1000);

This is an example only; if you want to change the title please use "System Tools > Settings > Theme"

put the following in an announcement widget to make a Noodle Slide Show:

<script>
function SlideShow(){
this.pages=null;
this.page=null;
this.timer=null;
this.ms_to_show_slide=null;
this.init=function(ms){
this.pages=new Array();
this.pages[0]="/OpenFolder.po?folder=2490";
this.pages[1]="/OpenFolder.po?folder=18777264";
this.pages[2]="/OpenFolder.po?folder=18782612";
this.page=0;
this.ms_to_show_slide=60000;
};
this.next=function(){
if(this.page&gt;=(this.pages.length-1)){
this.page=0;
}else{
this.page++;
}
top.document.getElementById("main").src=this.pages[this.page];
};
this.start=function(){
if(top.noodle.slideShow.timer!=null){
alert("The slide show is already running");
}
top.document.getElementById("body").rows="0,0,*";
top.document.getElementById("lowerBody").cols="0,*";
top.noodle.slideShow.timer=top.setInterval("top.noodle.slideShow.next();", top.noodle.slideShow.ms_to_show_slide);
};
this.stop=function(){
if(top.noodle.slideShow.timer==null){
alert("The slide show was not running");
}
top.document.getElementById("body").rows="55,0,*";
top.document.getElementById("lowerBody").cols="220,*";
top.clearInterval(top.noodle.slideShow.timer);
top.noodle.slideShow.timer=null;
};
this.init();
}
top.noodle.slideShow=new SlideShow();
</script>
<input type="button" onclick="top.noodle.slideShow.start();" value="start">
<input type="button" onclick="top.noodle.slideShow.stop();" value="stop">

You can add as many pages as you want just make sure the folder ids are valid and the indexes are sequential from 0.
In the following example the index is 0 and the folder id is 2490.

this.pages[0]="/OpenFolder.po?folder=2490";

you could use any URL as a page

this.pages[1]="http://wwww.google.com";

You need custom scripts enabled.

var d = top.noodle.headWindow().document;
d.getElementById("currentUserName").parentNode.style.display="block";
d.getElementById("currentUserId").style.display="none";
d.getElementById("currentUser").style.display="none";
d.getElementById("status").style.display="none";

If you host your own Noodle server please use a firewall.

The Noodle white list is a list of IP ranges that are allowed to connect to your noodle.

IP ranges are in the form of an ipv4 and a netmask.

If your settings are invalid Noodle will let everyone see the login page.

If you do something silly like 0.0.0.0/32 contact us and we can help you reset it with

update system_settings set value = '0.0.0.0/0', binary_data = null where key_name = 'WHITE_LIST';
service noodle restart

Only an internal network Example:

192.168.1.0/24

Only 2 IPs Example:

209.208.107.114/32
209.208.67.178/32

Everyone can see the login page Example:

0.0.0.0/0

• Noodle is not sending any emails
  • (using your own smtp server) White list the server or check authentication
  • (using Vialect smtp from a local install) Check firewalls:
    • Send us the public IP of your Noodle server
    • Test if your Noodle server can contact other SMTP servers:
      • install telnet:
        • Windows: pkgmgr /iu:"TelnetClient"
        • MacOS: brew install telnet
        • Linux(Debian,Fedora,Arch) : apt install telnet || dnf install telnet || yay -S inetutils
      • echo "QUIT" | telnet gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com 25
      • Some consumer ISPs block port 25.
  • Check SPAM mitigations.
• Noodle is sending some emails
  • There is an invalid address in the email so the SMTP server trashes the whole thing.
  • There is a rule on the SMTP server blocking one or more addresses.
  • make sure your email rules apply to all IPs that routing could use as a source.
• Email source
  • Microsoft
  • Google
  • Noodle adds email headers to identify type etc.

If you want to prevent all emails please blank the "SMTP Server Name" setting.

If you need more help contact us and we will find the problem by reviewing the logs.

Adding the following to your script injection will enable you to make page specific customizations:

function temp(){
        if (!top.noodle) {
               setTimeout(temp, 100);
        }
        if (top.noodle.custom) {
               return;
        }
        top.noodle.custom = function (){
               var doc=top.noodle.mainWindow().document;
               var url=doc.location.href;

               //your code go here

        }
}
temp();
