.TH gosa.conf 5 "2008-04-07" "GOsa v2.6" "Debian"
.SH NAME
gosa.conf - GOsa configuration file
.SH DESCRIPTION
The gosa.conf file contains configuration information for
.IR GOsa,
a powerful GPL'ed framework for managing accounts and systems in
LDAP databases.
.PP
The gosa.conf file is a XML style configuration file. It is parsed by
the GOsa web application during log in.  The file may contain
extra tabs and newlines for formatting purposes.  Tag keywords in the
file are case-insensitive. Comments should be placed outside of XML
tags and should be encapsulated inside of <!-- --> tags.
.PP
The gosa.conf file can be used to configure the look and feel, behaviour
and access control of the GOsa webinterface.
.SH Configuration layout

The configuration has to be specified inside of the <conf> tags. It
basically consists of three main parts: menu definition, definition
of subdialogs (tabbed dialogs) and the main configuration - including
information about several locations.

.B Layout example:

.nf
  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  
  <conf configVersion="...." >
    <!-- Menu definition -->
    <menu>
    ...
    </menu>
  
    <!-- Tabbed dialog definitions -->
    ...
  
    <!-- Global setup -->
    <main>
  
       <!-- Location specific setups -->
       <location name="">
         ...
       </location>
  
    </main>
  
  </conf>
.fi

.SH Menu definition

This tag defines the side and icon menu inside the
interface. Defining an entry here is no guarantie to get it shown,
though. Only entries with matching ACL's get shown.

There are two types of entries inside of the menu: section and plugin

.B Defining a section

Open a 
.I <section>
tag including a 
.I name
attribute. This will show up in the menu as a new section later on.
Own entries are not handled via I18N by default. Close the 
.I </section>
tag after your plugin definitions.

.B Defining a plugin

Open a 
.I <plugin>
tag including a 
.I "class"
attribute. The 
.I "class" 
should be present inside your GOsa setup - the entry will be ignored if it is not.

Plugins should have an 
.I "acl"
entry, that allows GOsa to decide whether a user is allowed to see a plugin or not.
The 
.I "acl"
string matches with an ACL definition done inside of GOsa.

You can override an icon by specifying the 
.I "icon"
attribute.

For every plugin, you can provide at least seven additional hooks: 
.I precreate,
.I preremove,
.I premodify
.I postcreate,
.I postremove,
.I postmodify
and
.I check.
These can be used to perform special actions when a plugins gets
a create, delete, modify or check request. As a parameter, these
keywords get a shell script or program to the task.

.I The
.B create / delete / modify
.I keywords

These keywords take a full executable path of a script. You can
provide certain parameters in form of LDAP attributes. '%uid'
will pass the current user id, '%dn' the current object dn, etc.

The script gets executed before(pre) and after(post) create, delete or modify tasks.

.I The
.B check
.I keyword

This keyword takes a full executable path of a script. Check is
triggered after you press the
\-I "Apply"
or
\-I "OK"
button. The complete LDAP entry as it will be written to the
LDAP is passed to your script. If parts of the entry do not
match some logic of your script, just print an error message
to STDOUT. GOsa will show this message and abort the current
process of saving the entry to the LDAP.

.B Example menu definition:

.nf
  <menu>
    <section name="My account">
      <plugin acl="users/user:self" class="user" check="/usr/local/bin/test_user.sh" />
      <plugin acl="users/samba:self" class="sambaAccount" postcreate="/usr/local/bin/create_share '%uid'" />
    </section>
  </menu>
.fi

.SH Tabbed dialog definitions

Tab definitions define the sub plugins which get included for certain
tabbed dialogs. If you change something here, never (!) remove the
primary (the first) "tab" tag which is defined. Most tabbed dialogs
need a primary plugin.

.I "*tab"
should be looked for by a defined plugin. This one will take
every 
.I "tab"
defined
.I "class"
and will show it inside of a tabbed dialog
with the header defined in
.I "name".

.B Example tabbed dialog definition:

.nf
  <grouptabs>
    <tab class="group" name="Generic" />
    <tab class="environment" name="Environment" />
    <tab class="appgroup" name="Applications" />
    <tab class="mailgroup" name="Mail" />
  </grouptabs>
.fi

.SH Main section

The main section defines global settings, which might be overridden by
each location definition inside of this global definition.

.B Example layout:

.nf
  <main default="Example Net"
        listSummary="false"
        ... >

        <location name="Example Net"
                  hash="md5"
                  accountPrimaryAttribute="cn"
                  ...

                  <referral uri="ldaps://ldap.example.net:636/dc=example,dc=net"
                            admin="cn=gosa-admin,dc=example,dc=net"
                            password="secret" />

        </location>

  </main>

Whenever you change a password, you can then decide whether to use the proposal or to manually specify a password.

.nf
/usr/bin/apg \-n1
.fi

.B strictPasswordRules
.I bool
.PP
The
.I strictPasswordRules
tells GOsa to check for UTF-8 characters in the supplied password. These
Characters can lead to non working authentications if UTF-8 and none
UTF-8 systems locales get mixed. The default is "true".

.B handleExpiredAccounts
.I bool
.PP
The
.I handleExpiredAccounts
statement enables shadow attribute tests during the login to the GOsa web
interface and forces password renewal or account lockout.
.PP

.I uid
and
.I cn.
In the first case GOsa creates uid style DN entries:
.nf
uid=superuser,ou=staff,dc=example,dc=net
.fi
In the second case, GOsa creates cn style DN entries:
.nf
cn=Foo Bar,ou=staff,dc=example,dc=net
.fi
If you choose "cn" to be your
.I accountPrimaryAttribute
you can decide whether to include the personal title in your dn by
selecting
.I personalTitleInDN.
.PP

.B accountRDN
.I pattern
.PP
The
.I accountRDN
option tells GOsa to use a placeholder pattern for generating account
RDNs. A pattern can include attribute names prefaced by a % and normal
text:
.nf
accountRDN="cn=%sn %givenName"
.fi
This will generate a RDN consisting of cn=.... filled with surname and
given name of the edited account. This option disables the use of
.I accountPrimaryAttribute
and
.I personalTitleInDn
in your config. The latter attributes are maintained for compatibility.


.B personalTitleInDN

.I integer
.PP
The
.I ldapFilterNestingLimit
statement can be used to speed up group handling for groups with several hundreds of members.
The default behaviour is, that GOsa will resolv the memberUid values in a group to real names.
To achieve this, it writes a single filter to minimize searches. Some LDAP servers (namely
Sun DS) simply crash when the filter gets too big. You can set a member limit, where GOsa will
stop to do these lookups.
.PP

.PP
.PP


.B Account creation options
.PP
.B uidNumberBase
.I integer
.PP
The
.I uidNumberBase
statement defines where to start looking for a new free user id. This should be synced
with your
.I adduser.conf
to avoid overlapping uidNumber values between local and LDAP based lookups. The uidNumberBase
can even be dynamic. Take a look at the
.I baseIdHook
definition below.
.PP

.B gidNumberBase
.I integer
.PP
The
.I gidNumberBase
statement defines where to start looking for a new free group id. This should be synced
with your
.I adduser.conf
to avoid overlapping gidNumber values between local and LDAP based lookups. The gidNumberBase
can even be dynamic. Take a look at the
.I nextIdHook
definition below.
.PP

.B idAllocationMethod
.I traditional/pool
.PP
The
.I idAllocationMethod
statement defines how GOsa generates numeric user and group id values. If it is set to
.I traditional
GOsa will do create a lock and perform a search for the next free ID. The lock will be
removed after the procedure completes.
.I pool
will use the sambaUnixIdPool objectclass settings inside your LDAP. This one is unsafe,
because it does not check for concurrent LDAP access and already used IDs in this range. 
On the other hand it is much faster.
.PP

.B minId
.I integer
.PP
The
.I minId
statement defines the minimum assignable user or group id to avoid security leaks with
uid 0 accounts. This is used for the
.I traditional
method
.PP

.B uidNumberPoolMin/gidNumberPoolMin
.I integer
.PP
The
.I uidNumberPoolMin/gidNumberPoolMin
statement defines the minimum assignable user/group id for use with the
.I pool
method.

statement defines the highest assignable user/group id for use with the
.I pool
method.
.PP

.B nextIdHook
.I path
.PP
The
.I nextIdHook
statement defines a script to be called for finding the next free id for users or groups
externaly. It gets called with the current entry "dn" and the attribute to be ID'd. It
should return an integer value.
.PP

.B passwordDefaultHash
.I string
.PP
The
.I passwordDefaultHash
statement defines the default password hash to choose for new accounts. Valid values are
.I crypt/standard-des, crypt/md5, crypt/enhanced-des, crypt/blowfish, md5, sha, ssha, smd5, clear
and
.I sasl.
These values will be overridden when using templates.
.PP

.B idGenerator
.I string
.PP
The
.I idGenerator
statement describes an automatic way to generate new user ids. There are two basic
functions supported - which can be combined:

 a) using attributes

    You can specify LDAP attributes (currently only sn and givenName) in
    braces {} and add a percent sign before it. Optionally you can strip it
    down to a number of characters, specified in []. I.e.

.nf
      idGenerator="{%sn}-{%givenName[2-4]}"
.fi

    will generate an ID using the full surname, adding a dash, and adding at
    least the first two characters of givenName. If this ID is used, it'll
    use up to four characters. If no automatic generation is possible, a
    input box is shown.

 b) using automatic id's

    I.e. specifying

.nf
      idGenerator="acct{id:3}"
.fi

    will generate a three digits id with the next free entry appended to
    "acct".

.nf
      idGenerator="acct{id!1}"
.fi

    will generate a one digit id with the next free entry appended to
    "acct" - if needed.

.nf
      idGenerator="ext{id#3}"
.fi

    will generate a three digits random number appended to "ext".

.B Samba options
.PP
.B sambaSID
.I string
.PP
The
.I sambaSID
statement defines a samba SID if not available inside of the LDAP. You can retrieve
the current sid by
.I net getlocalsid.
.PP

.B sambaRidBase
.I integer
.PP
The
.I sambaRidBase
statement defines the base id to add to ordinary sid calculations - if not available
inside of the LDAP.
.PP

.B sambaHashHook
.I path
.PP
The
.I sambaHashHook
statement contains an executable to generate samba hash values. This is required
for password synchronization, but not required if you apply gosa-si services.
If you don't have mkntpasswd from the samba distribution installed, you can use
perl to generate the hash. Keep in mind to pass the value base64 encoded to perl:

.nf
perl \-MCrypt::SmbHash \-MMIME::Base64 \-e "print join(q[:], ntlmgen decode_base64('\\$ARGV[0]')), $/;"
.if
.PP

.B sambaIdmapping

setup this can drastically improve the windows login performance.
.PP
.PP

.B Asterisk options
.PP
.B ctiHook
.I path
.PP
The
.I ctiHook
statement defines a script to be executed if someone clicks on a phone number
inside of the addressbook plugin. It gets called with two parameters:

.nf
ctiHook $source_number $destination_number
.fi

This script can be used to do automatted dialing from the addressbook.
.PP
.PP

.B Mail options
.PP
.B mailMethod
.I Cyrus/SendmailCyrus/Kolab/Kolab22
.PP
The
.I mailMethod
statement tells GOsa which mail method the setup should use to communicate
with a possible mail server. Leave this undefined if your mail method does
not match the predefined ones.

.I Cyrus
maintains accounts and sieve scripts in cyrus servers.
.I Kolab/Kolab22
is like cyrus, but lets the kolab daemon maintain the accounts.
.I SendmailCyrus is based on sendmail LDAP attributes.
.PP

.B cyrusUseSlashes
.I bool
.PP

.SH LDAP resource definition

For every location you define inside your gosa.conf, you need at least
one entry of the type
.I referral.
These entries define the way how to connect to some directory service.

.B Example:

.nf
  <referral uri="ldap://ldap.example.net/dc=example,dc=net"
            admin="cn=gosa-admin,dc=example,dc=net"
            password="secret" />
.fi

.I uri
is a valid LDAP uri extendet by the base this referral is responsible for.
.I admin
is the DN which has the permission to write LDAP entries. And
.I password
is the corresponding password for this DN.

You can define a set of referrals if you have several server to
connect to.

.SH Settings for the environment plugin

In order to make full use of the environment plugin, you may want
to define the location where kiosk profiles will be stored on the
servers harddisk.

This is done by the
.I kioskPath
keyword defined within the
.I environment
class definition inside your gosa.conf.

.B Example:

.nf
  <plugin acl="users/environment"
          class="environment"
          kioskPath="/var/spool/kiosk"/>
.fi

Make sure, that this path is writeable by GOsa.

.SH Settings for the FAI plugin

The FAI plugin can be used in a way that it generates branched or
freezed releases inside your repository. Specifying the
.I postcreate
and
.I postmodify
keywords in the
.I servrepository
definition, calls the provided script as a hook when adding or
removing branches. This script should do the rest inside of your
repository.

.B Example:

.nf
  <tab class="servrepository" 
          repositoryBranchHook="/opt/dak/bin/get_extra_repos"
          postcreate="/opt/dak/bin/handle_repository '%lock_dn' '%lock_name' '%lock_type' />
.fi

.I %lock_dn
keeps the base DN of the source branch,
.I %lock_name
the name of the new branch and
.I %lock_type
is either "freeze" or "branch".

The
.I repositoryBranchHook
outputs additional releases, that are not retrieveable with the standard
GOsa/FAI methods.

If you have only one release, or want to define a default release to be shown
by GOsa, define the
.I defaultFaiRelease="ou=sarge,ou=fai,ou=configs,ou=syst..."
within the 
.I faiManagement
class definition

.SH Settings for the addressbook plugin

The addressbook plugin can be configured to store the addressbook data on
a special location. Use the
.I addressbookBaseDN
keyword within the
.I addressbook
class definition inside your gosa.conf to configure this location.

Default:
.I ou=addressbook.

.SH Settings for system plugins
For the
.I workstationStartup
and
.I terminalStartup
classes, you can define the
.I systemKernelsHook
keyword. It can load additional kernels that are not retrieveable by
standard GOsa/FAI mechanisms.

In order to make use of SNMP information, you can set the
.I snmpCommunity
in the
.I terminfo
class definition.

To enable the burn CD image function, you can specify the
.I systemIsoHook
in the
.I workgeneric
class. You will get a CD symbol in the systems list - which calls
the hook if pressed.
