# File configuration backend

This is the default configuration backend. Configuration is stored as JSON.

This configuration storage can be shared between different hosts using:

- SOAP configuration backend proxy
- any files sharing system (NFS, NAS, SAN,…)

## Configuration

You just have to configure a directory writable by Apache user and set it in [configuration] section in your lemonldap-ng.ini file:

    [configuration]
    type  = File
    dirName = /var/lib/lemonldap-ng/conf
