Authentication layer for a YaCy webclient

YaCy Search Authorization and Authentication

WHAT IS THIS? The purpose of this service is the authentication of search users; it does an authentication of users and identifies their user rights. Such rights are expressed with sets of specific collections names which had been used to index data in the YaCy search engine. This is done using a reverse proxy to a YaCy search server. It serves as a filter for search requests from a JSON search client like https://github.com/yacy/yacy_webclient_bootstrap The server attribute within the searchpage_template_yaml4 must point to the location of this file on a php-enabled server.

WORKFLOW The authorization is done in an external system (i.e. LDAP server like Active Directory). The external system names access domains for the user which is matched with collection names in this module.

HOW TO INSTALL

  • copy this file on a web space with a php interpreter
  • modify the php.ini file and set the attribute allow_url_fopen to 1
  • change the external_url path in this file and let it point to your own server
  • modify the server address in searchpage_template_yaml4 and point it to the location of this file
  • modify class/config.class.php, if necessary (default/guest collection name(s), type of user authentication, mapping of ldap/ad group names to yacy collection names
