Roles and Attributes Configuration
----------------------------------
General Configuration General Configuration
--------------------- ---------------------
Webserver
~~~~~~~~~
LdapCherry uses the embedded http server of CherryPy, however it has some limitations:
* no listening on port 80/443 (unless run as root, which is strongly discourage)
* no https
The simpler way to properly deploy LdapCherry is to run it listening only on localhost
with a port above 1024 and put it behind an http server like nginx, apache or lighttpd
acting as a reverse http(s) proxy.

Authentication and sessions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LdapCherry supports several authentication modes:
+------------------------+---------+---------------------+------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| Parameter | Section | Description | Values | Comment |
+========================+=========+=====================+================================================+=================================+
| auth.mode | auth | Authentication mode | * 'and' (user must auth on all backends) | |
| | | | * 'or' (user must auth on one of the backends) | |
| | | | * 'none' (disable auth) | |
| | | | * 'custom' (use custom auth module) | |
+------------------------+---------+---------------------+------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| auth.module | auth | Custom auth module | python class path to module | only used if auth.mode='custom' |
+------------------------+---------+---------------------+------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------+
| tools.sessions.timeout | global | Session timeout in | Number of minutes | |
| | | minutes | | |
+------------------------+---------+---------------------+------------------------------------------------+---------------------------------+
Different session backends can also be configured (see CherryPy documentation for details)
.. sourcecode:: ini
[global]
# session configuration
# activate session
tools.sessions.on = True
# session timeout in minutes
tools.sessions.timeout = 10
# file session storage(to use if multiple processes,
# default is in RAM and per process)
#tools.sessions.storage_type = "file"
# session
#tools.sessions.storage_path = "/var/lib/ldapcherry/sessions"
[auth]
# Auth mode
# * and: user must authenticate on all backends
# * or: user must authenticate on one of the backend
# * none: disable authentification
# * custom: custom authentification module (need auth.module param)
auth.mode = 'or'
# custom auth module to load
#auth.module = 'ldapcherry.auth.modNone'
