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 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.
Client and server now have their own tsconfig so that the transpilation is only
done on the part that is being modified.
It also allows faster transpilation since tests are now excluded from tsconfig.
They are compiled by ts-node during unit tests execution.
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.
