Custom handlers

LLNG provides Perl libraries that can be easily used by inheritance. So you can write your own handlers but you need first to understand Handler architecture

1. Write your new Module (in Lemonldap/NG/Handler/Lib for example) that overload some Lemonldap::NG::Handler::Main methods
2. Write a wrapper in each platform directory (see Lemonldap::NG::Handler::Apache2::AuthBasic or Lemonldap::NG::Handler::Server::AuthBasic for examples)

Wrapper usually look at this:

package Lemonldap::NG::Handler::ApacheMP2::MyType;
 
use base 'Lemonldap::NG::Handler::ApacheMP2::Main', 'Lemonldap::NG::Handler::Lib::MyType';
 
1;

Your wrappers must be named “Lemonldap::NG::Handler::<platform>::<type>” where <platform> is the target (ApacheMP2 or Server) and <type> is the name you've chosen.

You can enable it either:

• by setting a PerlSetVar VHOSTTYPE <type> in the Apache configuration file
• by setting a fastcgi_param VHOSTTYPE <type> in the Nginx configuration file
• by adding it to the menu: add its name in vhostType “select” declaration (file lemonldap-ng-manager/lib/Lemonldap/NG/Build/Attributes) and rebuild LLNG

Note that configuration parameter can be set only in lemonldap-ng.ini configuration file (section Handler).

LLNG provides 3 platforms:

• ApacheMP2
• FastCGI server (Nginx is build from there)
• Auto-protected PSGI

If you want to add another, you must write:

• the platform launcher file that launch the required type (see lemonldap-ng-handler/lib/Lemonldap/NG/Handler/ApacheMP2 file for example)
• write the main platform file (Lemonldap::NG::Handler::MyPlatform::Main) that provides required method (see lemonldap-ng-handler/lib/Lemonldap/NG/Handler/*/Main for examples) and inherits from Lemonldap::NG::Handler::Main
• write the “type” wrapper files (AuthBasic,...).

Wrapper usually look at this:

package Lemonldap::NG::Handler::MyPlatform::AuthBasic;
 
use base 'Lemonldap::NG::Handler::MyPlatform::Main', 'Lemonldap::NG::Handler::Lib::AuthBasic';
 
1;

Three actions are needed:

• declare your own module in the manager “General Parameters >> Advanced Parameters >> Custom handlers (Nginx)”. Key is the name that will be used below and value is the name of the custom package,
• in your Nginx configuration file, add LLTYPE=<name>; in the location = /lmauth {...} paragraph
• restart FastCGI server(s) (reload is not enough here)
