The anatomy of a Boundary auth method

# Auth Methods
An auth method is a resource that provides a mechanism for [users][] to
authenticate to Boundary. An auth method contains [accounts][] which link an
individual user to a set of credentials and [managed groups][] which groups
[accounts][] that satisfy criteria and can be used as principals in [roles][].
Auth methods can be defined at either a [Global][] or [Organization][]
[scope][].
## Attributes
All auth methods have the following configurable attributes:
- `name` - (optional)
If set, the `name` must be unique within the auth method's scope.
- `description` - (optional)
### Password Auth Method Attributes
The password auth method has the following additional attributes:
- `min_login_name_length` - (required) The default is 3.
- `min_password_length` - (required) The default is 8.
### LDAP Auth Method Attributes
The ldap auth method has the following additional attributes:
- `state` - The state of the auth method; either inactive, active-private, or
active-public.
- `start_tls` - (optional) If true, issues a StartTLS command after establishing
an unencrypted connection. Defaults to false.
- `insecure_tls` - (optional) If true, skips LDAP server SSL certificate
validation, which is insecure and should be used with caution. Defaults to
false.
- `discover_dn` - (optional) If true, use anon bind to discover the bind DN
(Distinguished Name) of a user. Defaults to false.
- `anon_group_search` - (optional) If true, use anon bind when performing LDAP
group searches. Defaults to false.
- `upn_domain` - (optional) If set, the userPrincipalDomain is used to construct
the UPN string for the authenticating user. The constructed UPN appears as
[username]@UPNDomain Example: example.com, which causes Boundary to
bind as username@example.com when it authenticates the user.
- `urls` - (required) The LDAP URLS that specify LDAP servers to connect to.
There must be at least one URL for each LDAP auth method. When attempting to
connect, the URLs are tried in the order specified.
- `user_dn` - (optional) If set, the base DN under which to perform user
search. Example: ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com
- `user_attr` - (optional) If set, defines the attribute on a user's entry
matching the login-name passed when the user authenticates. Examples: cn, uid
- `user_filter` - (optional) If set, the Go template used to construct an LDAP
user search filter. The template can access the following context variables:
[UserAttr, Username]. The default user_filter is ({{.UserAttr}}={{.Username}})
or (userPrincipalName={{.Username}}@UPNDomain) if the upn-domain parameter is
set.
- `enable_groups` - (optional) If true, an authenticated user's groups are
found during authentication. Defaults to false.
- `group_dn` - (optional) If set, the base DN under which to perform a group
search. Example: ou=Groups,dc=example,dc=com
Note: There is no default, so no base DN is used for group searches, if
it's not specified.
- `group_attr` - (optional) If set, the LDAP attribute to follow on objects
returned by group_filter in order to enumerate user group membership.
Examples: for group_filter queries returning group objects, use: cn. For
queries returning user objects, use: memberOf. The default is cn.
- `group_filter` - (optional) If set, the Go template used when constructing the
group membership query. The template can access the following context
variables: [UserDN, Username]. The default is
(|(memberUid={{.Username}})(member={{.UserDN}})(uniqueMember={{.UserDN}})),
which is compatible with several common directory schemas.
- `certificates` - (optional) If set, PEM encoded x509 certificates in ASN.1
DER form that can be used as trust anchors when connecting to an LDAP
provider.
- `client_certificate` - (optional) If set, a PEM encoded x509 certificate in
ASN.1 DER form to be used as a client certificate. It must be set, if you
specify the optional client_certificate_key.
- `client_certificate_key` - (optional) If set, a PEM encoded certificate key in
PKCS #8, ASN.1 DER form. It must be set, if you specify the optional
client_certificate.
- `bind_dn` - (optional) If set, the distinguished name of entry to bind when
performing user and group searches. Example:
cn=vault,ou=Users,dc=example,dc=com
- `bind_password` - (optional) If set, the password to use along with bind_dn
when performing user search. It must be set, if you specify the optional
bind_dn.
- `use_token_groups` - (optional) If true, use the Active Directory tokenGroups
constructed attribute of the user to find the group memberships. This
finds all security groups, including nested ones.
- `account_attribute_maps` - (optional) If set, the attribute maps from custom
attributes to the standard fullname and email account attributes. These
maps are represented as key=value where the key equals the from_attribute, and
the value equals the to_attribute. For example, "preferredName=fullName". All
attribute names are case insensitive.
