There are two ways to integrate Authelia with an authentication backend:

• LDAP: users are stored in remote servers like OpenLDAP, OpenDJ, FreeIPA, or Microsoft Active Directory.
• File: users are stored in YAML file with a hashed version of their password.

Configuration

{{< config-alert-example >}}

authentication_backend:
  refresh_interval: 5m
  password_reset:
    disable: false
    custom_url: ""

Options

This section describes the individual configuration options.

refresh_interval

{{< confkey type="duration" default="5m" required="no" >}}

This setting controls the interval at which details are refreshed from the backend. Particularly useful for LDAP.

password_reset

disable

{{< confkey type="boolean" default="false" required="no" >}}

This setting controls if users can reset their password from the web frontend or not.

custom_url

{{< confkey type="string" required="no" >}}

The custom password reset URL. This replaces the inbuilt password reset functionality and disables the endpoints if this is configured to anything other than nothing or an empty string.
