LemonLDAP::NG FastCGI server

Since 1.9, LL::NG provides a FastCGI server that can be used for protecting applications with Nginx (See Manage virtual hosts page to configure virtual hosts) or the DevOps Handler (See SSO as a Service).

This FastCGI server can be implemented for all LL::NG components. It compiles enabled components just-in-time.

Start

Using package

You just have to install lemonldap-ng-fastcgi-server package, it will be started automatically.

Using “make install”

To enable the FastCGI server at startup, copy the script llng-fastcgi-server installed in INITDIR (default /usr/local/lemonldap-ng/etc/init.d/) in /etc/init.d and enable it (links to /etc/rc<x>.d).

Configuration

FastCGI server has few parameters. They can be set by environment variables (read by startup script) or by command line options. A default configuration file can be found in /usr/local/lemonldap-ng/etc/default/llng-fastcgi-server (or /etc/default/lemonldap-ng-fastcgi-server in Debian package).

The FastCGI server reads also LLTYPE parameter in FastCGI requests (see portal-nginx.conf or manager-nginx.conf) to choose which module is called:

cgi to run .cgi scripts in FastCGI compatibility mode
psgi ro run .psgi scripts under FastCGI
manager for the manager
handler for the handler
portal for the portal
status to see statistics (if enabled)

if LLTYPE is set to another value or not set, FastCGI server works as handler.
