Authentication: Configuration

The authentication is configured within the access configuration key in the configuration file (linkurious/data/config/production.json):

  • authRequired (default: false): Whether to require authentication, see how to enable authentication.

  • guestMode (default: false): Enable the guest mode.

  • loginTimeout (default: Infinity): Seconds of inactivity after which a user is logged out.

  • dataEdition (default: true): Enable the creation, edition, and deletion of nodes and edges in all data-sources. Permissions can be fine-tuned for each group, see the documentation about users and groups. If set to false, all edition requests sent through Linkurious Enterprise to the data-sources will be rejected.

  • widget (default: true): Enable to publish visualizations online. Published visualizations are always accessible by anonymous users.

  • externalUsersGroupMapping (optional): How to map external groups to Linkurious Enterprise groups (see how to configure group mapping).

  • externalUsersAllowedGroups (optional): List of external groups of users allowed to log in into Linkurious Enterprise.

  • externalUserDefaultGroupId (optional): Default group id automatically set for new external users when no other rule is set in externalUsersGroupMapping. This configuration setting should not be used when autoRefreshGroupMapping is true, otherwise it may result in users with no groups to have no access to the data-source.

  • autoRefreshGroupMapping (default: false): If true, when an external user logs in, their groups are reset according to externalUsersGroupMapping and are also not allowed to be updated.

  • ldap (optional): The connection to the LDAP service (see how to configure LDAP).

  • msActiveDirectory (optional): The connection to the Microsoft Active Directory service (see how to configure Active Directory).

  • oauth2 (optional): The connection to an OAuth2/OpenID Connect identity provider (see how to configure Azure AD, Google or a generic OpenID Connect provider).

  • saml2 (optional): The connection to a SAML2 identity provider (see how to configure SAML2 / ADFS).

  • floatingLicenses (default: Infinity): The maximum number of users that can connect to Linkurious Enterprise at the same time.

Local vs. external authentication

To access Linkurious Enterprise when authRequired is true, users need accounts in Linkurious Enterprise. Administrators can create accounts directly in Linkurious Enterprise (see how to create users) or rely on an external authentication service.

Linkurious Enterprise supports the following external authentication services:

If your company uses an authentication service that Linkurious Enterprise does not support yet, please get in touch.
