Realms Management

A Realm is a data access object that provides authentication capabilites for Agate users user the underlying datasource's specific API to discover authorization data.

Realm Types

LDAP Realm

A realm that authenticates users by using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol to query a Directory Access Agent. This realm uses a user's Distinguished Name (DN) template to build queries.

Active Directory Realm

The only difference between this and the LDAP realm is the query template. This realm queries by using a combination of a search filter and search base.

SQL Database Realm

mysql, mariadb and postgresql are supported. This realm queries the user's password with the salt style used by the database.

Salt styles include:

  • NO_SALT: used when the password is in plain text.
  • CRYPT: uses the database's underlying cryptographic method to decrypt the password.
  • COLUMN: the salt column must be the second column included in the query.
  • EXTERNAL: uses the specified algorithm to decrypt the password.

Open ID Connect Realm

A realm that uses the OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol to authenticate users.
