This is a GLAuth plugin; that is, a backend that are not compiled in GLAuth by default.
To quote 'Butonic' (Jörn Friedrich Dreyer):
Just keep the 'lightweight' in mind.
To build either back-end, type
make plugin_name
where 'name' is the plugin's name; so, for instance: make plugin_sqlite
To build back-ends for specific architectures, specify PLUGIN_OS and PLUGIN_ARCH --
For instance, to build the sqlite plugin for the new Mac M1s:
make plugin_sqlite PLUGIN_OS=darwin PLUGIN_ARCH=arm64
To use a database plugin, edit the configuration file (see pkg/plugins/sample-database.cfg) so that:
...
[backend]
datastore = "plugin"
plugin = "dynamic library you created using the previous 'make' command"
database = "database connection string"
...
so, let's say you built the 'sqlite' plugin, you would now specify its library: database = sqlite.so
Tables:
- users, ldapgroups are self-explanatory
- includegroups store the 'includegroups' relationships
- othergroups, on the other hand, are a comma-separated list found in the users table (performance)
