PgJSON session backend
======================
This backend is the recommended one for production installations of LemonLDAP::NG.
Prerequisites
-------------
First, make sure you have installed the ``DBD::Pg`` perl module.
On Debian-based distributions ::
apt install libdbd-pg-perl
On Fedora-based distributions ::
yum install 'perl(DBD::Pg)'
The minimum required version of PostgreSQL is 9.3 with `support for JSON column types <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/functions-json.html>`__
Make sure you are using at least version 1.2.9 of ``Apache::Session::Browseable``, this might require installing it from Debian Backports or CPAN.
Create database schema
----------------------
Create the following tables. You may skip the session types you are not going to use, but you need at least ``sessions`` and ``psessions``
::
CREATE TABLE sessions (
id varchar(64) not null primary key,
a_session jsonb
);
CREATE INDEX i_s__whatToTrace ON sessions ((a_session ->> '_whatToTrace'));
CREATE INDEX i_s__session_kind ON sessions ((a_session ->> '_session_kind'));
CREATE INDEX i_s__utime ON sessions ((cast (a_session ->> '_utime' as bigint)));
CREATE INDEX i_s_ipAddr ON sessions ((a_session ->> 'ipAddr'));
CREATE INDEX i_s__httpSessionType ON sessions ((a_session ->> '_httpSessionType'));
CREATE INDEX i_s_user ON sessions ((a_session ->> 'user'));
CREATE TABLE psessions (
id varchar(64) not null primary key,
a_session jsonb
);
CREATE INDEX i_p__session_kind ON psessions ((a_session ->> '_session_kind'));
CREATE INDEX i_p__httpSessionType ON psessions ((a_session ->> '_httpSessionType'));
CREATE INDEX i_p__session_uid ON psessions ((a_session ->> '_session_uid'));
CREATE INDEX i_p_ipAddr ON psessions ((a_session ->> 'ipAddr'));
CREATE INDEX i_p__whatToTrace ON psessions ((a_session ->> '_whatToTrace'));
CREATE TABLE samlsessions (
id varchar(64) not null primary key,
a_session jsonb
);
CREATE INDEX i_a__session_kind ON samlsessions ((a_session ->> '_session_kind'));
CREATE INDEX i_a__utime ON samlsessions ((cast(a_session ->> '_utime' as bigint)));
CREATE INDEX i_a_ProxyID ON samlsessions ((a_session ->> 'ProxyID'));
CREATE INDEX i_a__nameID ON samlsessions ((a_session ->> '_nameID'));
CREATE INDEX i_a__assert_id ON samlsessions ((a_session ->> '_assert_id'));
CREATE INDEX i_a__art_id ON samlsessions ((a_session ->> '_art_id'));
CREATE INDEX i_a__saml_id ON samlsessions ((a_session ->> '_saml_id'));
CREATE TABLE oidcsessions (
id varchar(64) not null primary key,
a_session jsonb
);
CREATE INDEX i_o__session_kind ON oidcsessions ((a_session ->> '_session_kind'));
CREATE INDEX i_o__utime ON oidcsessions ((cast(a_session ->> '_utime' as bigint )));
CREATE TABLE cassessions (
id varchar(64) not null primary key,
a_session jsonb
);
CREATE INDEX i_c__session_kind ON cassessions ((a_session ->> '_session_kind'));
CREATE INDEX i_c__utime ON cassessions ((cast(a_session ->> '_utime' as bigint)));
CREATE INDEX i_c__cas_id ON cassessions ((a_session ->> '_cas_id'));
CREATE INDEX i_c_pgtIou ON cassessions ((a_session ->> 'pgtIou'));
LemonLDAP::NG configuration
---------------------------
Go in the Manager and set the session module to ``Apache::Session::Browseable::PgJSON`` for each session type you intend to use:
* ``General parameters`` » ``Sessions`` » ``Session storage`` » ``Apache::Session module``
* ``General parameters`` » ``Sessions`` » ``Persistent sessions`` » ``Apache::Session module``
* ``CAS Service`` » ``CAS sessions module name``
* ``OpenID Connect Service`` » ``Sessions`` » ``Sessions module name``
* ``SAML2 Service`` » ``Advanced`` » ``SAML sessions module name``
Then, set the following module options:
=================== ================================================= =============================================================
Required parameters
=================== ================================================= =============================================================
Name Comment Example
**DataSource** The `DBI <https://metacpan.org/pod/DBI>`__ string dbi:Pg:database=lemonldap-ng
**UserName** The database username lemonldapng
**Password** The database password mysuperpassword
**TableName** Table name (optional) sessions
**Commit** 1 This setting is mandatory for PostgreSQL to work
=================== ================================================= =============================================================
.. tip::
Unlike other browseable modules, Pg::JSON does not require an ``Index`` parameter
