Making your data web accessible

If your simulation files are stored on a workstation with a web server, you can make your files web accessible, as discussed here.

Requirements

• Working OpenLdap directory server

• Must have ssl support on port 636

• Available credentials to connect to openldap server. Anonymous binds not supported

• User accounts in the LDAP directory must have the homeDirectory attribute set

Procedure:

1. Install Apache Httpd web server, php and the php ldap library

   $ dnf install httpd mod_ssl php php-ldap
   $ systemctl start httpd
   $ systemctl enable httpd
   

2. Edit index.php and set appropriate values for the following variables

   $ldap_server_uri  = 'ldaps://ldapserver.example.com';
   $search_scope     = 'ou=users,dc=example,dc=com';
   $proxy_dn         = 'ldapserver_bind_dn';
   $proxy_pass       = 'ldapserver_bind_password';
   

3) Copy index.php, display.php, and logout.php into the Apache Httpd web server’s DocumentRoot directory. On Redhat based machines e.g Fedora, Centos, the default DocumentRoot is /var/www/html.

4) Go to https://localhost , log in and verify that you are able to see your files.
