Sympa

Sympa is a mailing list manager.

There are two ways to configure SSO with Sympa:

• Auto login: a special LL::NG Handler will generate Sympa cookie
• Magic authentication: a special SSO URL is protected by LL::NG, Sympa will display a button for users who wants to use this feature.

Choose one of the following method:

Configure Sympa virtual host like other protected virtual host but use Sympa Handler instead of default Handler.

<VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerName sympa.example.com
 
       # Load Sympa Handler
       PerlRequire __HANDLERDIR__/MyHandlerSympa.pm
       PerlHeaderParserHandler My::Sympa
 
       ...
 
</VirtualHost>

Go to the Manager and create a new virtual host for Sympa.

Just configure the access rules.

Go in Manager, Default parameters » Advanced parameters » Special handlers » Sympa, and edit the different keys:

• Shared key: correspond to the cookie parameter of sympa.conf
• Mail session key: session field where to find user mail (by default: mail)

Edit the file “auth.conf”, for example:

vi /etc/sympa/auth.conf

And fill it:

generic_sso
        service_name                   LemonLDAP::NG
        service_id                          lemonldapng
        email_http_header            HTTP_MAIL
        netid_http_header             HTTP_AUTH_USER
        internal_email_by_netid    1
        logout_url                          http://sympa.example.com/wws/logout

Configure Sympa virtual host like other protected virtual host but protect only magic authentication URL.

<VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerName sympa.example.com
 
       <Location /wws/sso_login/lemonldapng>
       PerlHeaderParserHandler My::Package
       </Location>
 
       ...
 
</VirtualHost>

Go to the Manager and create a new virtual host for Sympa.

Configure the access rules and define the following headers:

• Auth-User
• Mail
