Summary

This function creates an external authentication configuration object and returns the id of the configuration. This configuration is used when MarkLogic Server is used with an external Kerberos and/or LDAP server to control user access.

For more information on external security, see External Security in the Security Guide.

Parameters
external-security-name The name of external authentication configuration.
description The description of external authentication configuration.
authentication The authentication protocol. This can be either ldap, saml, kerberos, or certificate.

If authentication is certificate, only certificate authentication will be performed. If authentication is not certificate and if require-client-certificate is set to true, a client certificate is required in addition to some other form of authentication.

cache-timeout Login cache timeout, in seconds.
authorization The authorization scheme. Set to ldap for external authorization using an LDAP server, internal to authorize using MarkLogic Server, or saml for SAML authorization.
ldap-server The LDAP server configuration created by the sec:ldap-server function.
saml-server The SAML server configuration created by the sec:saml-server function.
