AUTH__LDAP_URL

If this environment variable is set to non-empty value, Papermerge DMS will assume that authentication will be performed using LDAP backend. Value should be set to URL of the ldap server. URL is specified without scheme (i.e. no ldap://, ldaps:// prefix). Example:

PAPERMERGE__AUTH__LDAP_URL=ldap.trusel.net

and username is coco and, say, LDAP user entry does not feature mail attribute, the email assigned to user will be coco@starship.com

AUTH__REMOTE

Following examples enable remote user authentication:

PAPERMERGE__AUTH__REMOTE=1

or

PAPERMERGE__AUTH__REMOTE=True

PAPERMERGE__AUTH__REMOTE=Yes

When remote user authentication is enabled, Papermerge DMS expects to receive user details via following http headers AND cookies:

  • Remote-User (header) - user's username e.g. john
  • Remote-Groups (header) - comma delimited list of groups user belongs to e.g. admin, accounting,research
  • Remote-Email (header) - user's email
  • Remote-Name (header) - user's name
  • remote_user (cookie) - user's username
  • remote_groups (cookie) - comma delimited list of groups
  • remote_email (cookie)
