NAME Lemonldap::Config::Parameters - Backend of configuration for lemonldap SSO system SOAPserver.pm - handler for mod_perl SOAP server SYNOPSIS #!/usr/bin/perl use Lemonldap::Config::Parameters; use Data::Dumper; my $nconfig= Lemonldap::Config::Parameters->new( file =>'applications.xml', cache => '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('CONF'); or by command line perl -e "use Lemonldap::Config::Parameters; Lemonldap::Config::Parameters::f_delete('CONF');" DESCRIPTION Lemonldap is a SSO 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 memory with IPC. For activing the cache you must have in the config : with : name='CONF' it's the GLUE value : four letters (see IPC::Shareable documentation). Ttl: time to live in second ( 0 for not reload ) if ttl is too short the config file will be reload very offen . LastModified="1" If true , you can force the reload after anything modification on file You can force the reload off file by the command line bellow: perl -e "use Lemonldap::Config::Parameters; Lemonldap::Config::Parameters::f_reload('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 IPC cache'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 => 'CONF' ); # with IPC cache or new(file =>'/foo/my_xml_file.xml'); # without IPC 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 : 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 : DB<1> 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 . With version of Config::parameters > 0.3 we can use an unique file of configuration whi can be retrieve by the lemonldap SSO boxes with SOAP agents . On the central server you MUST use SOAP server in combinaison with apache , mod_perl and SOAP::Lite Like this : (httpd.conf) Options +execcgi SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache::SOAP PerlSetVar dispatch_to 'SOAPserver' Important : You MUST place SOAPserver.pm under the apache's directory : eg : /usr/local/apache/ In XML file config : 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' .
