NAME

Lemonldap::Config::Parameters - Backend of configuration for lemonldap SSO system

SYNOPSIS

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use Lemonldap::Config::Parameters;
use Data::Dumper;
my $nconfig= Lemonldap::Config::Parameters->new(
                           file  =>'applications.xml',
                           cache => '/tmp/CONF' );
my $conf= $nconfig->getAllConfig;
my $cg=$nconfig->getDomain('appli.cp');
my $ligne= $cg;
print Dumper( $ligne);
my $e = $cg->{templates_options} ;
my $opt= "templates_dir";
my $va = $cg->{$opt};
my $ligne= $nconfig->formateLineHash($e,$opt,$va) ;

or by API :

Lemonldap::Config::Parameters::f_delete('/tmp/CONF');

or by command line

perl -e "use Lemonldap::Config::Parameters; Lemonldap::Config::Parameters::f_delete('/tmp/CONF');"

INSTALLATION

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test 
make install

DESCRIPTION

Lemonldap is a WEB SSO framework system under GPL.

Login page , handlers must retrieve their configs in an unique file eg :"applications.xml".

This file has a XML structrure. The parsing phase may be heavy, so lemonldap can cache the result of parsing in berkeleyDB file. For activing the cache you must have in the config :

<cache id="/tmp/CONF"> 
</cache>

with : name='/tmp/CONF' it will be the file name used for berkeley file.

The berkelay cache will be reloaded at every file modification You can force the reload off file by the command line bellow:

perl -e "use Lemonldap::Config::Parameters; Lemonldap::Config::Parameters::f_reload('/tmp/CONF');"

or

perl -e "use Lemonldap::Config::Parameters; Lemonldap::Config::Parameters::f_delete('CONF');"

IMPORTANT : the user's ID who runs those scripts MUST be the same of the berkeleyDB file's owner !!

WITHOUT CACHE SPECIFICATION , LEMONLDAP DOESN'T USE CACHE ! It will read and parse config file each time.

METHODS

new (file =>'/foo/my_xml_file.xml' , cache => '/tmp/CONF' ); # with berkelay cache

or new(file =>'/foo/my_xml_file.xml'); # without berkeleyDB cache

getAllConfig

Return the reference of hash storing whole the config.

getDomain('foo.bar')

Return the reference of hash of config for domain If the config file has only one domain , domain may bo omit .

eg : for the xml config file : <domain name="foo.bar" cookie=".foo.bar" path ="/" templates_dir="/opt/apache/portail/templates" templates_options = "ABSOLUTE => '1', INCLUDE_PATH => 'templates_dir'" login ="http://cportail.foo.bar/portail/accueil.pl" menu= "http://cportail.foo.bar/portail/application.pl" ldap_server ="cpldap.foo.bar" ldap_port="389" DnManager= "cn=Directory Manager" passwordManager="secret" branch_people="ou=mefi,dc=foo,dc=bar" session="memcached" > </domain>

  my $cg = $nconfig->getDomain();

DB<2> x $cg
 0  HASH(0x89b108c)
  'DnManager' => 'cn=Directory Manager'
  'branch_people' => 'ou=mefi,dc=foo,dc=bar'
  'cookie' => '.foo.bar'
  'ldap_port' => 389
  'ldap_server' => 'cpldap.foo.bar'
  'login' => 'http://cportail.foo.bar/portail/accueil.pl'
  'menu' => 'http://cportail.foo.bar/portail/application.pl'
  'passwordManager' => 'secret'
  'path' => '/'
  'session' => 'memcached'
  'templates_dir' => '/opt/apache/portail/templates'
  'templates_options' => 'ABSOLUTE => \'1\', INCLUDE_PATH => \'templates_dir\'

ref_of_hash : formateLineHash(string:line);

or  formateLineHash(string:line,string:motif,string:key);

Return a anonyme reference on hash and may replace the motif in the value of key by the value of another key :

eg

my $e = $cg->{templates_options} ; my $opt= "templates_dir"; my $va = $cg->{$opt}; my $ligne= $nconfig->formateLineHash($e,$opt,$va) ;

gives : D1 x $ligne 0 HASH(0x848b778) 'ABSOLUTE' => 1 'INCLUDE_PATH' => '/opt/apache/portail/templates'

$ligne can be use directly like option for somes instructions

ref_of_array : formateLineArray(string:line); or formateLineArray(string:line,string:motif,string:key);

Return a anonyme reference on array and may replace the motif in the element by the value of another key :

the return value can be use directly like option for somes instructions

findParagraph(chapter[,section])

Find and return a reference of chapter finds in xml file , a section can be specified.

Functions

Lemonldap::Config::Parameters::f_delete('CONF');

Delete the cache and the restore segment

Lemonldap::Config::Parameters::f_reload('CONF');

The next acces on cache will need to read file before .

Lemonldap::Config::Parameters::f_dump('CONF');

Dump of the config

SOAP server facility .

Don't use this ,I 'll rewrite all SOAP facility

<location /conf_lemonldap>
  Options +execcgi
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler Apache::SOAP
  PerlSetVar dispatch_to  'SOAPserver'
</location>

Important : You MUST place SOAPserver.pm under the apache's directory : eg : /usr/local/apache/

<cache  id="config1"
     ConfigIpcKey="CONF"
     ConfigTtl ="10000000"
     LastModified='1'
     Method="SOAP" 
     SoapUri="http://www.portable.appli.cp/SOAPserver"
     SoapProxy="http://www.portable.appli.cp/conf_lemonldap" 
      SoapAgent="['http://localhost/cgi-bin/refresh.cgi','http://www.portable.appli.cp/perl/refresh.cgi']"
  >

with :SoapUri and SoapProxy : see SOAP::Lite documentation SoapAgent : the list of agents CGI on lemonldap server who must to be call in the case of modification

After that agent receive notification , they do a soap request upon the administration server  for reload the lastnew config .
If it's fail , slave lemonldap uses a local file XML which is the lastest copy of file config .

An agent lemonldap MAY to be in same server that the SOAP manager. So SOAP manager uses 'conf' instead 'CONF' for the IPC glue . It 'll be two IPC segments 'CONF' and 'conf' 'CONF' for agent 'conf' for SOAP server ,but don't worry it's an internal process , stay to use 'CONF' .
