The possible values for ACL policies are now: bypass, one_factor, two_factor,
deny.
This change also deprecate auth_methods because the method is now associated
directly to a resource in the ACLs instead of a domain.
In order to simplify the deployment of Authelia for
testing, LDAP is now optional made optional thanks
to users database stored in a file. One can update
the file manually even while Authelia is running.
With this feature the minimal configuration requires
only two components: Authelia and nginx.
The users database is obviously made for development
environments only as it prevents Authelia to be scaled
to more than one instance.
Note: Configuration has been updated. Key `ldap` has
been nested in `authentication_backend`.
This URL is used when user access the authentication domain without providing
the 'redirect' query parameter. In that case, Authelia does not know
where to redirect the user.
If the parameter is defined, Authelia can redirect the user to a default page
when no redirect parameter is provided.
When user is already authenticated and tries to access the authentication
domain, the "already logged in" page is rendered and it now tells the user he
is to be redirected in few seconds and uses this URL to redirect.
This parameter is optional. If it is not provided, there is only a notification
message at the end of the authentication process, as before, and the user is
not redirected when visiting the authentication domain while already
authenticated.
This timeout will prevent an attacker from using a session that has been
inactive for too long.
This inactivity timeout combined with the timeout before expiration makes a
good combination of security mechanisms to prevent session theft.
If no activity timeout is provided, then the feature is disabled and only
session expiration remains as a protection.
This refactoring aims to ease testability and clean up a lot of soft touchy
typings in test code.
This is the first step of this refactoring introducing the concept and
implementing missing interfaces and stubs. At the end of the day,
ServerVariablesHandler should completely disappear and every variable should
be injected in the endpoint handler builder itself.
Sometimes, LDAP organization is such that groups membership cannot be computed
with username only. User DN is required to retrieve groups.
e.g. user Joe has a username joe and a cn of Joe Blogs, resulting in a dn of
cn=Joe Blogs,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com which is needed to retrieve groups
but cannot be computed from joe only.
Issue was reported in issue #146
One can now customize the default authentication method for all sub-domains,
i.e., either 'two_factor' or 'basic_auth' and define specific authentication
method per sub-domain.
For example, one can specify that every sub-domain must be authenticated with
two factor except one sub-domain that must be authenticated with basic auth.
Previously, logs were not very friendly and it was hard to track
a request because of the lack of request ID.
Now every log message comes with a header containing: method, path
request ID, session ID, IP of the user, date.
Moreover, the configurations displayed in the logs have their secrets
hidden from this commit.
Previously, string "{0}" was replaced by the user dn in the groups_filter
attributes of the LDAP configuration.
However, if the groups children only have a memberUid attribute, one would
like to use the username instead of the user dn.
Since the user dn can be built from the username, "{0}" is now replaced
by the username instead of the user dn so that an LDAP relying on attribute
'memberUid' can be used.
One can now plug its own SMTP server to send notifications
for identity validation and password reset requests.
Filesystem has been removed from the template configuration file
since even tests now use mail catcher (the fake webmail) to
retrieve the email and the confirmation link.
ACLs can now be defined by subdomain AND resource using pattern matching
with regular expressions.
It allows a very fine-grained access control to backend resources.
[Note] For using example environmnent, user must update its /etc/hosts with
new subdomains updated in README.
