Overlay configuration backend

This configuration backend permits one to store part of the configuration in local files. For example you can use this to store secrets outside LLNG configuration.

lemonldap-ng.ini example:

[configuration]
type = Overlay
overlayRealtype = File
overlayDirectory = /var/lib/lemonldap-ng/secrets

# File parameters
dirName = /var/lib/lemonldap-ng/conf

Then store in the overlayDirectory a file for each parameter (filename == keyname)

Parameters

  • overlayRealtype (required): the real configuration backend

  • overlayDirectory (required): the directory where overriden parameters are stored

  • overlayWrite (optional): set to 1 if you want that configuration changes are applied to overlay, else overlay parameters are read-only
