Overview

The DMS for Patricia module can be configured to use an external user directory, such as an Active Directory server.

The User-Facing Web Server

The user facing server should be configured to:

1. Authenticating the user via LDAP or ActiveDirectory (in the usual manner, via SSO and/or basic authentication)
2. Set the http header "X-pi-sso-user" = username (that the user used to login to the web server with)
3. Pass/proxy
   1. the request for case browser URL to server instance
   2. the request for nuxeo server URL to server instance

Optional (Recommended): Load Balancer

1. Run two or more instances of server, configure source IP load balancing on web server, to protect against any interruption of service in case of a failure with primary node
