bookshelf['storage_type']

Determines where cookbooks are stored. Default value: :filesystem.

In instances that require cookbooks to be stored within a SQL backend, such as in a high availability setup, you must set storage_type to :sql:

Copy

bookshelf['storage_type'] = :sql

bookshelf['stream_download']

Enable stream downloading of cookbooks. This setting (when true) typically results in improved cookbook download performance, especially with the memory usage of the bookshelf service and the behavior of load balancers and proxies in-between Chef Infra Client and the Chef Infra Server. Default value: true.

The fully qualified URL to the data collector server API. When present, it will enable the data collector in opscode-erchef. This also enables Chef Infra Server authenticated forwarding any properly signed requests arriving at /organizations/ORGNAME/data-collector to this URL with the data collector token appended. This is also target for requests authenticated and forwarded by the /organizations/ORGNAME/data-collector endpoint. For the forwarding to work correctly the data_collector['token'] field must also be set. For example, if the data collector in Chef Automate is being used, the URI would look like: http://my_automate_server.example.org/data-collector/v0/.

data_collector['proxy']

If set to true, Chef Infra Server will proxy all requests sent to /data-collector to the configured Chef Automate data_collector['root_url'].

The distinguished name used to bind to the LDAP server. The user the Chef Infra Server will use to perform LDAP searches. This is often the administrator or manager user. This user needs to have read access to all LDAP users that require authentication. The Chef Infra Server must do an LDAP search before any user can log in. Many Active Directory and LDAP systems do not allow an anonymous bind. If anonymous bind is allowed, leave the bind_dn and bind_password settings blank. If anonymous bind is not allowed, a user with READ access to the directory is required. This user must be specified as an LDAP distinguished name similar to:

Copy

'CN=user,OU=Employees,OU=Domainuser,DC=example,DC=com'

Note

Copy

If you need to escape characters in a distinguished name, such as when using Active Directory, they must be [escaped with a backslash escape character](https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/5312.active-directory-characters-to-escape.aspx).

```ruby
'CN=example\\user,OU=Employees,OU=Domainuser,DC=example,DC=com'
```

Default value: nil.

ldap['bind_password']

Deprecated. Use chef-server-ctl set-secret ldap bind_password from the Secrets Management commands.

Legacy configuration for the password of the binding user. The password for the user specified by ldap['bind_dn']. Leave this value and ldap['bind_dn'] unset if anonymous bind is sufficient. Default value: nil.

Copy

chef-server-ctl set-secret ldap bind_password
Enter ldap bind_password:    (no terminal output)
Re-enter ldap bind_password: (no terminal output)

Remove a set password via

Copy

chef-server-ctl remove-secret ldap bind_password

ldap['group_dn']

The distinguished name for a group. When set to the distinguished name of a group, only members of that group can log in. This feature filters based on the memberOf attribute and only works with LDAP servers that provide such an attribute. In OpenLDAP, the memberOf overlay provides this attribute. For example, if the value of the memberOf attribute is CN=abcxyz,OU=users,DC=company,DC=com, then use:

Copy

ldap['group_dn'] = 'CN=abcxyz,OU=users,DC=company,DC=com'

ldap['host']

ldap['system_adjective']

A descriptive name for the login system that is displayed to users in the Chef Infra Server management console. If a value like “corporate” is used, then the Chef management console user interface will display strings like “the corporate login server”, “corporate login”, or “corporate password.” Default value: AD/LDAP.

Warning

Copy

This setting is used by Chef Manage and not Chef Infra Server. Chef Manage is deprecated.

ldap['timeout']

The amount of time (in seconds) to wait before timing out. Default value: 60000.

ldap['tls_enabled']

Enable TLS. When enabled, communication with the LDAP server is done via a secure SSL connection on a dedicated port. When true, ldap['port'] is also set to 636. Default value: false. Must be false when ldap['ssl_enabled'] is true.

Note

Copy

Previous versions of Chef Infra Server used the `ldap['ssl_enabled']` setting to first enable SSL, and then the `ldap['encryption']` setting to specify the encryption type. These settings are deprecated.
