On a normal debian-installastion where libnss-ldap and or libpam-ldap
is already set up, lwat should work out of the box. if not, or if
you want to tweak you installation, with users home located somewhere
else than /home, you might want to create or edit the configuration
file that is located under /etc/lliurex-lwat and is called config.php.
There is a tool buildconf.php
that will create a nice default for you. It will use any
debconf input you have given, and else, try to lookup
things as best as it can. You can fetch the result in your
browser, or you
can use php on the commandline:
php /usr/share/lliurex-lwat/web/buildconf.php > somefileThen you may edit the file as you please.
| Variable | Description | Default value |
|---|---|---|
| $domain | This variable is used to to form the mail-address of the users, if mail-address is added to the user objects. | example.net |
| $base | this is the "Distinguished Name" (DN) of the LDAP base where all groups, people, machines, etc. are located. | dc=example,dc=net |
| $ldaphost | This is the hostname (or ip-address) of the ldap-server | ldap |
| $groupprefix | The prefix under which the groups information is stored. Dont duplicate the information in the variable $base | ou=Group |
| $homelocation | Enter the path where the personal (home) directories of all users are stored. | /home |
| $useLisGroup | Debian edu installations use something called lisGroup, that is a self invented thing. This allow for both memberUid and member to be in the same group object, If useLisGroup is set to false, the variable AuthGroup is used instead to create a groupOfMembers. | false |
| $authprefix | The prefix under which the Authority groups is stored. If $useLisGroup is set to true, this one is not used. if $useLisGroup is set to false, then $authprefix must be different from $groupprefix | ou=AuthGroup |
| $hostprefix | The prefix under which the Host information is stored. Dont duplicate the information in the variable $base | ou=Hosts |
| $netgroupprefix | The prefix under which the Netgroup information is stored. Dont duplicate the information in the variable $base | ou=Netgroup |

| $minPwUpper | Minimum number of uppercase letters passwords: | 1 |
| $minPwLower | Minimum number of lowercase letters in passwords: | 1 |
| $minPwNumber | Minimum number of digits (0-9) in passwords: | 1 |
| $allowPwSet | When setting a new password, lwat normally generates a reasonably safe password. Setting this variable to true, will allow administrators to choose the password themselves. | false |
| $smarty_templ | lwat uses smarty for html-templating. By default will the templates be located under /usr/share/lliurex-lwat/templates, but you might create your own templates, and store them somewhere else by setting this variable. | /usr/share/lliurex-lwat/templates |
| $smarty_compile | smarty templates needs to be compiled before they are displayed. Here you might set another path (not sure you would like that, but hey, it's an option) | /var/spool/lliurex-lwat |
