key as ‘validator’ there is

and even such an example works

plugins:
  my_custom_username_validation:
    default: 'system'
    validator: 'UsernameSettingValidator'

how to make the code work from the plugin?

Hooray, it worked

code in plugin.rb

def forum_require(path)
  require Rails.root.join('plugins', 'forum', 'app', path).to_s
end

after_initialize do

  forum_require 'lib/ldap_setting_validator'
//code
end

ldap_setting_validator.rb → path → myplugin/app/lib/ldap_setting_validator.rb

thanks for the example → https://github.com/gdpelican/babble/blob/master/plugin.rb#L17-L52

I was searching for an example of how to do this yesterday. The example I found in the Discourse repo is here: GitHub - discourse/discourse-chat-integration. You’ll see that in that plugin’s plugin.rb file, the validator class is required with the following command:

require_relative "lib/discourse_chat/provider/slack/slack_enabled_setting_validator"

For Discourse to find the validator, it needs to be included before the call to after_initialize.
