Users and groups can be configured by yaml file in the project directory. An example config, config.yaml.example, is provided.
To get started, rename config.yaml.example to config.yaml. Alternately named config files may be used and loaded with the --config option.
The following base keys are required and used to build other variables on spinup.
- basedn
- userou
- userobjectclass
- groupou
- groupobjectclass
- groupmemberattr
Users are not required to be configured, but if added, each users entry is required to follow the following format; a users key (in the example case one and two), with attribute keys to be added for the user. The uid key is required, the rest may be any attributes you want to include.
users:
one:
uid: one
mail: one@example.com
cn: User One
userPassword: password
two:
uid: two
mail: two@example.com
cn: User Two
userPassword: password
Groups are not required to be configured, but if present, require the following format; a groups key (in the example case one), with cn attributes key.
groups:
one:
cn: Group One
members:
- one
- two
Groups are not required to contain members. To add members to a group, they must be within the members key, and must match a users key from the users section of the config (in the example case one and two).
