Options

Issuers timeout: Delay for issuers for submitting their authentication requests

Tip

  • To avoid a bad/expired token and lose redirection to the SP protected application after authentication if IdP URLs are served by different load balancers, you can force Issuer tokens to be stored into Global Storage by editing lemonldap-ng.ini in section [portal]:

[portal]
forceGlobalStorageIssuerOTT = 1

Handlers

image41

Handlers are software control agents to be installed on your web servers (Nginx, Traefik, Apache, PSGI like Plack based servers or Node.js).

Handler type

Apache

LLNG FastCGI/uWSGI server (Nginx, Traefik or SSOaaS)

Plack servers

Node.js ( express apps or SSOaaS)

Self protected apps

Comment

Main (default handler)

Partial ** 16 **

AuthBasic

Designed for some server-to-server applications

CDA

For Cross Domain Authentication

DevOps (SSOaaS) new

Allows application developers to define their own rules and headers inside their applications

DevOpsST (SSOaaS) new

Enables both DevOps and Service Token

DevOpsCDA (SSOaaS) new

Enables both DevOps and CDA

OAuth2 17new

Uses OpenID Connect/OAuth2 access token to check authentication and authorization, can be used to protect Web Services

Secure Token

Designed to secure exchanges between a LLNG reverse-proxy and a remote app

Service Token new (Server-to-Server)

Designed to permit underlying requests (API-Based Infrastructure)

Zimbra PreAuth

LLNG databases

Configuration database

image46

LL::NG needs a storage system to store its own configuration (managed by the manager). Choose one in the following list:

Backend

Shareable

Comment

File (JSON)

Not shareable between servers except if used in conjunction with REST or with a shared file system (NFS,…). Selected by default during installation.

YAML new

Same as File but in YAML format instead of JSON

SQL (CDBI/RDBI)

Recommended for large-scale systems. Prefer CDBI.

Cassandra

Via SQL pseudo-driver

LDAP

MongoDB deprecated

SOAP deprecated

Proxy backend to be used in conjunction with another configuration backend. Can be used to secure another backend for remote servers.

REST new

Proxy backend to be used in conjunction with another configuration backend. Can be used to secure another backend for remote servers.

Local new

Use only lemonldap-ng.ini parameters.

Tip

You can not start with an empty configuration, so read how to change configuration backend to convert your existing configuration into another one.

Sessions database

image50

Sessions are stored using Apache::Session modules family. All Apache::Session style modules are usable except for some features.

Attention

If you plan to use LLNG in a large-scale system, take a look at Performance Test to choose the right backend. A Browseable SQL backend is generally a good choice.

Backend

Shareable

Session explorer

Session restrictions

Session expiration

Comment

File

Not shareable between servers except if used in conjunction with REST session backend or with a shared file system (NFS,…). Selected by default during installation.

PgJSON

Recommended backend for production installations

Browseable MySQL

Recommended for those who prefer MySQL

Browseable LDAP

Redis

The fastest. Must be secured by network access control.

MongoDB deprecated

Must be secured by network access control.

Cassandra

Another supported NoSQL DB

SQL

Unoptimized for session explorer and single session features.

REST new

Proxy backend to be used in conjunction with another session backend.

SOAP deprecated

Proxy backend to be used in conjunction with another session backend.

Tip

You can migrate from one session backend to another using the session conversion script. (new since 2.0.7)

Developer corner

To contribute, see :

To develop an handler, see:

To develop a portal plugin, see manpages:

  • Lemonldap::NG::Portal

  • Lemonldap::NG::Portal::Auth

  • Lemonldap::NG::Portal::UserDB

  • Lemonldap::NG::Portal::Main::SecondFactor

  • Lemonldap::NG::Portal::Main::Issuer

  • Lemonldap::NG::Portal::Main::Plugin

  • Lemonldap::NG::Portal::Main::Request (the request object)

To add a new language:

If you don’t want to publish your translation (XX must be replaced by your language code):

  • Manager: translate lemonldap-ng-manager/site/htdocs/static/languages/en.json in lemonldap-ng-manager/site/htdocs/static/languages/XX.json and enable it in “lemonldap-ng.ini” file

  • Portal: translate lemonldap-ng-portal/site/htdocs/static/languages/en.json in lemonldap-ng-portal/site/htdocs/static/languages/XX.json and enable it in “lemonldap-ng.ini” file

  • Portal Mails: translate lemonldap-ng-portal/site/templates/common/mail/en.json in lemonldap-ng-portal/site/templates/common/mail/XX.json
