Presentation
------------
LL::NG Slave backend relies on HTTP headers to retrieve user login
and/or attributes.
- Authentication: will check user login in a header and create session
without prompting any credentials (but will register client IP and
creation date)
- Users: collect data transferred in HTTP headers by the "master".
It allows one to put LL::NG::portal behind another web SSO, or behind a
SSL hardware to delegate SSL authentication to that hardware.
Configuration
-------------
In Manager, go in ``General Parameters`` > ``Authentication modules``
and choose Slave for authentication or users module.
Then, go in ``Slave parameters``:
- **Authentication level**: authentication level for this module.
- **Header for user login**: header that contains the user main login
- **Master's IP address**: the IP addresses of servers which are
accredited to authenticate user. This is a security point, to prevent
someone to create a session by sending custom headers. You can set
one or several IP addresses, spaces separated, or let this
parameter empty to disable the checking.
- **Control header name**: header that contains a value to control. Let
this parameter empty to disable the checking.
- **Control header content**: value to control. Let this parameter
empty to disable the checking.
- **Display authentication logo**: display Slave logo.
You have then to declare HTTP headers exported by the main SSO (in
**Exported Variables**). Example :
================= ========================
Key (LL::NG name) Value (HTTP header name)
================= ========================
uid Auth-User
mail User-Email
================= ========================
Example
~~~~~~~
- Request with curl (AuthChoice with Slave and Secured cookie => double
cookies for a single session):
**Control header name**: control
**Control header content**: password
::
curl -k https://127.0.0.1:19876 -H 'CN: dwho' -H 'Host: auth.example.com' -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'control: password' -d "lmAuth=2_Slave" | json_pp
- Response for good authentication:
.. code-block:: javascript
{
"result" : 1,
"error" : 0,
"id_http" : "5237ce20290d6110915a05d62f52618955b5f71b6dd3424481372ad419a5b122",
"id" : "16fec9bd7a0523328568ca919ee0a6d6e329832f6c302bf36b106db92b5ec23d"
}
