SDS (SQL Directory Service)

Last modified by christoph_lechleitner@iteg_at on 2013-08-03 10.49:19

Overview

The SDS (SQL Directory Service) bundle provides means to manage a set of database tables maintaining users and groups for some application.

It provides a DOJO based web interface to manage the users and groups and group memberships.

Putting SDS together with org.clazzes.login.sql (1.3.2+) provides a complete standalone authentication service and management to use for a set of standalone applications running in the same OSGi container.

Installation in an OSGi container

The SDS service is provided as an OSGi bundle, which may be activated by

obr:addurl http://maven.clazzes.org/repository.xml
obr:deploy sds.api
obr:deploy sds.impl
obr:deploy sds.web

Installation on a Debian host

This only works well for a Karaf using /etc/apache-karaf as configuration directory, like ITEG's apache-karaf distribution.

cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d
test -f any-sds-1.list || wget http://deb.clazzes.org/any/sources.list.d/any/any-sds-1.list
apt-get update sds-bundles apache-karaf-sds-bundles-activator

Configuration

PID org.clazzes.sds.web

# org.clazzes.sds.web.cfg
dataSourceName = SDS
defaultPasswordAlgorithm = crypt

For information about how to provide a DataSource (to which to refer to with the dataSourceName key), see Multi-DataSource pooling with JDBC-Provider.

PID org.clazzes.sds.web

# org.clazzes.sds.web.cfg
loginMechanism = org.clazzes.login.sql
suUsers = MYDOMAIN/admin

# optionals:
maxAgeSeconds = 3600
deliverUncompressed = false

For information about loginMechanism, see DomainPasswordLoginService implementations and backends.
