## Duration Notation Format
|
|
|
|
We have implemented a string/integer based notation for configuration options that take a duration of time. This section
|
|
describes the implementation of this. You can use this implementation in various areas of configuration such as:
|
|
|
|
* session:
|
|
* expiration
|
|
* inactivity
|
|
* remember_me_duration
|
|
* regulation:
|
|
* ban_time
|
|
* find_time
|
|
* ntp:
|
|
* max_desync
|
|
* webauthn:
|
|
* timeout
|
|
|
|
The way this format works is you can either configure an integer or a string in the specific configuration areas. If you
|
|
supply an integer, it is considered a representation of seconds. If you supply a string, it parses the string in blocks
|
|
of quantities and units (number followed by a unit letter). For example `5h` indicates a quantity of 5 units of `h`.
|
|
|
|
While you can use multiple of these blocks in combination, ee suggest keeping it simple and use a single value.
|
|
|
|
### Unit Legend

### Examples
|
|
|
|
| Desired Value | Configuration Examples |
|
|
|:---------------------:|:-------------------------------------:|
|
|
| 1 hour and 30 minutes | `90m` or `1h30m` or `5400` or `5400s` |
|
|
| 1 day | `1d` or `24h` or `86400` or `86400s` |
|
|
| 10 hours | `10h` or `600m` or `9h60m` or `36000` |
|
|
|
|
## Regular Expressions
|
|
|
|
We have several sections of configuration that utilize regular expressions. It's recommended to validate your regex
|
|
manually either via tools like [Regex 101](https://regex101.com/) (ensure you pick the `Golang` option) or some other
|
|
means.
|
|
|
|
It's important when attempting to utilize a backslash that it's utilized correctly. The YAML parser is likely to parse
|
|
this as you trying to use YAML escape syntax instead of regex escape syntax. To avoid this use single quotes instead of
|
|
no quotes or double quotes.
|
|
|
|
Good Example:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
domain_regex: '^(admin|secure)\.example\.com$'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Bad Example:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
domain_regex: "^(admin|secure)\.example\.com$"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## TLS Configuration
|
|
|
|
Various sections of the configuration use a uniform configuration section called TLS. Notably LDAP and SMTP.
|
|
This section documents the usage.
|
|
|
|
### server_name
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="string" required="no" >}}
|
|
|
|
The key `server_name` overrides the name checked against the certificate in the verification process. Useful if you
|
|
require to use a direct IP address for the address of the backend service but want to verify a specific SNI.
|
|
|
|
### skip_verify
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="boolean" default="false" required="no" >}}
|
|
|
|
The key `skip_verify` completely negates validating the certificate of the backend service. This is not recommended,
|
|
instead you should tweak the `server_name` option, and the global option
|
|
[certificates directory](../miscellaneous/introduction.md#certificates_directory).
|
|
|
|
### minimum_version
|
|
|
|
{{< confkey type="string" default="TLS1.2" required="no" >}}
|
|
|
|
The key `minimum_version` controls the minimum TLS version Authelia will use when opening TLS connections.
|
|
The possible values are `TLS1.3`, `TLS1.2`, `TLS1.1`, `TLS1.0`. Anything other than `TLS1.3` or `TLS1.2`
|
|
are very old and deprecated. You should avoid using these and upgrade your backend service instead of decreasing
|
|
this value.
