7.6. WebUI Policies

7.6.1. login_mode

type: string

allowed values: “userstore”, “privacyIDEA”, “disable”

If set to userstore (default), users and administrators need to authenticate with the password of their userstore, being an LDAP service or an SQL database.

If this action is set to login_mode=privacyIDEA, the users and administrators need to authenticate against privacyIDEA when logging into the WebUI. I.e. they can not login with their domain password anymore but need to authenticate with one of their tokens.

If set to login_mode=disable the users and administrators of the specified realms can not login to the UI anymore.

Warning

If you set this action and the user deletes or disables all his tokens, he will not be able to login anymore.

Note

Administrators defined in the database using the pi-manage command can still login with their normal passwords.

Note

A sensible way to use this, is to combine this action in a policy with the client parameter: requiring the users to login to the Web UI remotely from the internet with OTP but still login from within the LAN with the domain password.

Note

Another sensible way to use this policy is to disable the login to the web UI either for certain IP addresses (client) or for users in certain realms.

7.6.2. remote_user

type: string

This policy defines, if the login to the privacyIDEA using the web servers integrated authentication (like basic authentication or digest authentication) should be allowed.

Possible values are “disable” and “allowed”.

Note

The policy login_mode and remote_user work independent of each other. I.e. you can disable login_mode and allow remote_user.

7.6.3. logout_time

type: int

Set the timeout, after which a user in th WebUI will be logged out. The default timeout is 120 seconds.

Being a policy this time can be set based on clients, realms and users.

7.6.4. token_page_size

type: int

By default 15 tokens are displayed on one page in the token view. On big screens you might want to display more tokens. Thus you can define in this policy how many tokens should be displayed.

7.6.5. user_page_size

type: int

By default 15 users are displayed on one page in the user view. On big screens you might want to display more users. Thus you can define in this policy how many users should be displayed.

7.6.6. policy_template_url

type: str

Here you can define a URL from where the policies should be fetched. The default URL is a Github repository [#defaulturl]_.

Note

When setting a template_url policy the modified URL will only get active after the user has logged out and in again.

7.6.7. default_tokentype

type: str

You can define which is the default tokentype when enrolling a new token in the Web UI. This is the token, which will be selected, when entering the enrollment dialog.
