LemonLDAP configuration

[tomflenner]

Hello !

I have a question about the LemonLDAP Configuration, on this docker image we have two env variables :

• SETUP_TYPE [Default =Auto] : The other value accepted is Manual ?
• CONFIG_TYPE = File, Rest

If i run my container as SETUP_TYPE = MANUAL, does the image care about CONFIG_TYPE value ? I want to put this container configuration as backend database

Thanks !

Here's what I would do:
Use SETUP_TYPE=AUTO for the first run, have it create a lemonldap-ng.ini file for you.
Then switch it over to SETUP_TYPE=MANUAL and you can then modify the lemonldap-ng.ini file and your local changes will persist on container restarts to change your configuration backend. I used to have SQL and LDAP backends built into the Auto mode but supporting was a pain.

If you were looking at putting out more handlers, you would want to set your Global Sessions and Config in your lemonldap-ng.ini file on your master server, and then you could use CONFIG_TYPE=REST on your remote handlers to connect to your portal with SETUP_TYPE=AUTO. You'd need to setup REST inside your manager site to support config and session sharing.

There are a bunch of combinations you could do, but I built the AUTO mode to get someone up and running with sane defaults AND to quickly be able to deploy new handlers, specifically in the environment in how I operate.
