Revision as of 18:00, 3 August 2018

The following section is addressed to those of you who would like to edit those configuration settings that could not be modified with the help of the GUI (Graphical User Interface) of the LimeSurvey installation. Please bear in mind that all the changes from the LimeSurvey root directory are done at your own risk. Nevertheless, in the case in which you are experiencing problems/need further guidance, join the discussion forums or the IRC channel for help from the LimeSurvey community.

Comment modifier les réglages optionnels

To modify the configuration settings of the installation, you have to edit the optional settings. They can be found in the /application/config/config-defaults.php, which is located in the LimeSurvey root directory. The default settings of the standard installation can be found in config-defaults.php. Some of them can be overridden by using the global settings dialog, while the others will have to be manually edited.

  Si vous souhaitez modifier ces réglages, merci de ne pas le faire dans config-defaults.php mais copiez le réglage ou la ligne dans /application/config/config.php in 'config'=>array() and modifiez-la à cet endroit.


Tous les réglages de config.php récrivent les valeurs par défaut de config-defaults.php et certains de ce réglages serontécras&és dans le dialogue des réglages globaux (New in 1.87 ). Cette procédure rendra beaucoup plus facile la mise à jour ultérieure de votre installation !

Lorsqu'il y a une mise à jour, seul les paramètres onfig-defaults.php sont changés. Toutefois, modifier le fichier config.php sauvegardera les paramètre que vous avez customisé.

Pour modifier/ajouter les options de LimeSurvey settings dans /application/config/config.php vous devez modifier le tableau de configuration :

    'config'=>array(
        'debug'=>0,
        'debugsql'=>0,
        'LimeSurveySetting'=>'New value',
    )

Réglages de Yii

LimeSurvey utilise le framework Yii et Yii possède ses propres paramètres de configuration dans le fichier application/config/config.php. Vous pouvez aussi accéder à certains réglages spécifiques de configuratrion de LimeSurvey en passant par la configuration de Yii.

Les paramètres spécifiques de Yii sont déclarés dans le tableau des composants :

    'components' => array(
        'db' => array(
            ....
        ),
        'Specific settings'=>array(
            ....
        ),
    ),
Pour plus d'informations à propos du framework Yii, Veuillez accéder au lien suivant.

Paramètres de base de données

Les paramètres de base de données sont écrits lors de l'installation dans le fichier config.php lorsque vous installez LimeSurvey pour la première fois. Si vous le souhaitez vous pouvez modifier cette partie de la configuration. Mais rappelez-vous SVP que vous le faites à vos propres risques Voir aussi [documentation de Yii], et souvenez-vous que LimeSurvey supporte seulement les types de bases de données mysql, pgsql, dblib, mssql and sqlsrv.

Paramètres de session

Vous pouvez déclarer des paramètres de session dans config.php, le premier exemple étant la session de la base de données. You pouvez décommenter/ajouter la partie nécessaire dans config.php. Voir [Documentation de Yii] pour les autres paramètres.

Si vous utilisez SSL ('https') pour votre installation de LimeSurvey, ajouter les lignes suivantes dans votre config.php augmentera la sécurité de la session :

        // Définir le cookie avec SSL
        'session' => array (
            'cookieParams' => array(
                    'secure' => true, // utiliser SSL pour les  cookies
                    'httponly' => true // Les cookies ne seront pas utilisés pour les autres protocoles - experimental
                ),
            ),

Si vous souhaitez fixer le domaine pour un cookie, utilisez ceci dans config.php:

        // Set the domain for cookie
        'session' => array (
            'cookieParams' => array(
                    'domain' => '.example.org',
                ),
            ),

Si vous avez de multiples installations sur le même serveur, il serait plus rapide et facile d'installer différents noms de sessions pour chaque instance de LimeSurvey. Cela pourrait être utile pour IE11 sous certaines conditions (voir issue 12083)

        // Mettre le nom de la session
        'session' => array (
            'sessionName' => "LimeSurveyN1",
            ),

Paramètres de requête

Les paramètres de requête sont importants, mais les paramètres par défaut sont déjà optimisés pour l'utilisation de LimeSurvey. Voir documentation de Yii pour plus d'information.

Par exemple, les paramètres de configuration de la requête de LimeSurvey peuvent être modifiés de la manière suivante (à vos risques et périls) :

        // Disable CSRF protection
        'request' => array(
            'enableCsrfValidation'=>false,    
            ),
        // Enforce a certain URL base 
        'request' => array(
            'hostInfo' => 'http://www.example.org/'  
            ),
        // Set the cookie domain name and path for CSRF protection, path is used if you have different instance on same domain
        'request' => array(
            'csrfCookie' => array( 
                'domain' => '.example.com',
                'path' => '/limesurvey/',
            )
        ),

Si vous devez mettre à jour uniquement l'url pour les emails symboliques, définissez votre publicurl dans votre fichier config.php.

Paramètres de l'url

Pour changer les paramètres par défaut, mettez à jour le gestionnaire d'url :

       // Use short URL
		'urlManager' => array(
			'urlFormat' => 'path',
			'showScriptName' => false,
		),

Vous pouvez également ajouter .html après l'id du questionnaire de la manière suivante :

       // Use short URL
		'urlManager' => array(
			'urlFormat' => 'path',
			'rules' => array (
			    '<sid:\d+>' => array('survey/index','urlSuffix'=>'.html','matchValue'=>true),
			 ),
			'showScriptName' => false,
		),

Pour plus d'informations rendez vous sur Yii documentation.

Paramètres d'identification

Yii apporte différentes solution pour générer des journaux. Pour plus d'informations, rendez vous sur logging special topic. LimeSurvey utilise '1' ou '2' par défaut, ce qui permet chaque utilisateur du web de voir ces journaux. Vous pouvez créer vos propres paramètres en utilisant directement Yii.

Par exemple, une solution rapide pour ces erreurs de log et avertissements dans les fichiers est :

return array(
	'components' => array(
		/* Other component part here 'db' for example */
		'log' => array(
			'routes' => array(
				'fileError' => array(
					'class' => 'CFileLogRoute',
					'levels' => 'warning, error',
					'except' => 'exception.CHttpException.404',
				),
			),
		),
		/* Other component part here 'urlManager' for example */
	),
	/* Final part (with 'runtimePath' 'config' for example) */
);
 Hint: Le fichier est sauvé par défaut dans limesurvey/tmp/runtime/application.log, qui est situé dans le dossier base de LimeSurvey.
  Yii utilise un chemin d'exécution. Par défaut, les registres sont accessible sur le web. Ils peuvent contenir beaucoup d'information de votre serveur. Il est préférable d'utiliser un répertoire inaccessible via le web. Vous pouvez le définir dans les itinéraires ou en mettant à jour les Runtime path.

.

Chemin d'exécution

The runtime path doit être un répertoire lisible et accessible en écriture pour "l'internaute". Toutefois, le chemin d'exécution contient des fichiers avec des informations de sécurité potentielles qui sont situées dans la zone d'accès du Web publique. LimeSurvey collecte ces fichiers dans le répertoire temporaire du répertoire racine de LimeSurvey. Dans le but d'éliminer l'accès à de telles informations, vous pouvez définir le chemin d'exécution en dehors de l'accès Web public en modifiant les lignes respectives dans le fichier /application/config/config.php:

 
return array(
  'components' => array(
    []
    'runtimePath'=>'/var/limesurvey/runtime/',
    'config'=>array(
    []
    )
  )
)

Paramètres généraux

  • $sitename : Permet de donner un nom à votre site d'enquêtes en ligne. Ce nom apparaitra dans la vue de la liste des questionnaires et dans l'entête de l'administration. (depuis la version 1.87 ce paramètre est écrasé par les paramètres généraux)
  • $siteadminemail : Adresse par défaut de l’administrateur du site. Elle est utilisée pour les messages systèmes et les opérations de contact. (depuis la version 1.87 ce paramètre est écrasé par les paramètres généraux)
  • $siteadminbounce : Adresse vers laquelle seront acheminés les messages rejetés. (depuis la version 1.87 ce paramètre est écrasé par les paramètres généraux)
  • $siteadminname : Nom réel de l'administrateur du site. (depuis la version 1.87 ce paramètre est écrasé par les paramètres généraux)
  • Nomdusite: Donnez à votre questionnaire un nom. Ce nom va apparaitre dans la liste de l'aperçu and dans l'en-tête d'administration. La valeur par défaut est 'LimeSurvey' et peut être substitué dans la boite de dialogue paramètres globaux ou modifié dans config.php.
  • emaildel'administrateur: C'est l'adresse mail par défaut de l'administrateur du questionnaire et c'est utilisé pour les messages de système ou les options de contact. Ce paramètre est utilisé uniquement comme valeur par défaut et peut être remplacé dans le paramètres globaux dialogue.
  • messagesrenvoyésadministrateur: C'est l'adresse email à laquelle les emails renvoyés seront envoyés. Ce paramètre est utilisé uniquement comme valeur par défaut et peut être remplacé par la boîte de dialogue paramètres globaux.
  • nomdel'administrateur: Le vrai nom de l'administrateur du site. Ce paramètre est utilisé uniquement comme valeur par défaut et peut être remplacé dans la boîte de dialogue paramètres globaux).
  • nom_d'hôte_proxy: C'est le nom d'hôte de votre serveur proxy (il doit être mentionné si vous êtes derrière un proxy et que vous voulez mettre à jour LimeSurvey en utilisant ComfortUpdate).
  • port_d'hôte_proxy: C'est le port de votre serveur proxy (il doit être mentionné si vous êtes derrière un proxy et que vous voulez mettre à jour LimeSurvey en utilisant ComfortUpdate).

Security

  • maxLoginAttempt: This is the number of attempts a user has to enter the correct password before he or she gets her or his IP address blocked/locked out. The default value is 3 and it can be modified from config.php.
  • timeOutTime: If the user enters the password incorrectly for <maxLoginAttempt>, she or he gets locked out for <timeOutTime> seconds. The default value is 10 minutes and it can be modified from config.php.
  • surveyPreview_require_Auth: Set to true by default. If you set this to 'false', any person can test your survey using the survey URL, without logging in to the administration panel and without having to activate the survey first. This setting is a default value and can be overridden in the global settings dialog or edited in config.php.
  • usercontrolSameGroupPolicy: Set to true by default. By default, non-admin users defined in the LimeSurvey management interface will only be able to see users they create or users that belong to at least one same group. The default value can be overridden in the global settings dialog or edited in config.php.
  • filterxsshtml: This setting enables the filtering of suspicious html tags located within surveys, groups, and questions and answer texts in the administration interface. Leave this to 'false' only if you absolutely trust the users you created for the administration of LimeSurvey and if you want to allow these users to be able to use Javascript, Flash Movies, etc.. The super admins never have their HTML filtered. The default value can be overridden in the global settings dialog or edited in config.php.
  • demoMode: If this option is set to 'true' in config.php, then LimeSurvey will go into demo mode. The demo mode changes the following things:
    • Disables admin user's details and password changing;
    • Disables the upload of files on the template editor;
    • Disables sending email invitations and reminders;
    • Disables the creation of a database dump;
    • Disables the ability to modify the following global settings: site name, default language, default HTML editor mode, XSS filter.

Resources

  • sessionlifetime: Defines the time in seconds after which a survey session expires. It applies only if you are using database sessions. If you do use database sessions, change the parameter in config.php or override the default value from the global settings dialog.
  • memorylimit: This determines how much memory LimeSurvey can access. '128 MB' is the minimum (MB=Megabyte) recommended. If you receive time out errors or have problems generating statistics or exporting files, raise this limit to '256 MB' or higher. If your web server has set a higher limit in config.php, then this setting will be ignored.
Please bear in mind that such local settings can always be overruled by the changes done in the global settings dialog.

Pour augmenter la limite de mémoire à 128 Mo, vous pouvez également essayer d'ajouter :

  • memory_limit = 128M au fichier principal php.ini de votre serveur (recommandé, si vous avez accès)
  • memory_limit = 128M au fichier php.ini dans la base de LimeSurvey
  • php_value memory_limit = 128M dans le fichier .htaccess de la base de LimeSurvey
  • max_execution_time: Set the number of seconds a script is allowed to run. If this is reached, the script returns a fatal error. To be allowed to export big survey data and statistics, LimeSurvey try to set it by default to 1200 seconds. You can set a bigger time or a lower time if needed. Only accessible via php config file.

Appearance

  • dropdownthreshold (Obsolete since 2.50): When "R" is selected for $dropdowns, the administrator is allowed to set a maximum number of options that will be displayed as radio buttons, before converting back to a dropdown list. If there is a question that has a large number of options, displaying all of them at once as radio buttons can look unwieldy, and can become counter-intuitive to users. Setting this to a maximum of, say 25 (which is the default) means that large lists are easier to be used by the administrators for the survey participant.
  • repeatheadings: With the Array question type, you'll often have a lot of subquestions, which - when displayed on screen - take up more than one page. This setting lets you decide how many subquestions should be displayed before repeating the header information for the question. A good setting for this is around 15. If you don't want the headings to repeat at all, set this to 0. This setting is overridden in the global settings dialog (New in 2.05 ).
  • minrepeatheadings: The minimum number of remaining subquestions that are required before repeating the headings in Array questions. The default value is 3 and it can be edited in config.php.
  • defaulttemplate: This setting specifies the default theme used for the 'public list' of surveys. This setting can be overridden in the global settings dialog or edited in config.php.
  • defaulthtmleditormode: Sets the default mode for the integrated HTML editor. This setting can be overridden in the global settings dialog or edited in config.php. The valid settings are:
    • 'inline' - Inline replacement of fields by an HTML editor. Slow but convenient and user friendly;
    • 'popup' - Adds an icon that runs the HTML editor in a popup if needed. Faster, but HTML code is displayed in the form;
    • 'none'- No HTML editor;
  • column_style: Defines how columns are rendered for survey answers when using display_columns. It can be edited in the config.php file. The valid settings are:
    • 'css' - it uses one of the various CSS methods to create columns (see the template style sheet for details);
    • 'ul' - the columns are rendered as multiple floated unordered lists (default);
    • 'table' - it uses conventional-tables-based layout;
    • NULL - it disables the use of columns.

Language & time

  • defaultlang: This should be set to the default language to be used in your administration scripts, and also the default setting for language in the public survey list. This setting can be overridden in the global settings dialog or edited in config.php.
  • timeadjust: If your web server is in a different time zone to the location where your surveys will be based, put the difference between your server and your home time zone here. For example, I live in Australia, but I use a US web server. The web server is 14 hours behind my local time zone. So my setting here is "14". In other words, it adds 14 hours to the web servers time. This setting is particularly important when surveys timestamp the responses. This setting can be overridden in the global settings dialog or edited in config.php.

Survey behavior

  • deletenonvalues: Use this feature with caution. By default (a value of 1), irrelevant questions are NULLed in the database. This ensures that the data in your database is internally consistent. However, there are rare cases where you might want to hold onto irrelevant values, in which case you can set the value to 0. For example, you ask a male person his gender, and he accidentally says 'female' and then answers some female-specific questions (questions that are conditioned on being female, so are only relevant for women). Then, he realizes his mistake, backs up, sets the gender to 'male', and continues with the survey.  Now, the female-specific questions are irrelevant. If $deletenonvalues==1, those irrelevant values will be cleared (NULLed) in the database. If $deletenonvalues==0, his erroneous answers will not be deleted, so they will still be present in the database when you analyze it.
  • shownoanswer: When a radio button/select type question that contains editable answers (i.e.: List, Array questions) is not mandatory and 'shownoanswer' is set to 1, an additional 'No answer' entry is shown - so that participants may choose to not answer the question. Some people prefer this not to be available. This setting can be overridden from the global settings dialog or edited in config.php. Valid values are:
    • '0': No;
    • '1': Yes;
    • '2': The Survey admin can choose.
  • printanswershonorsconditions: This setting determines if the printanswers feature will display entries from questions that were hidden by conditions-branching (Default: 1 = hide answers from questions hidden by conditions).
  • hide_groupdescr_allinone: This setting is relevant for all-in-one surveys using conditions . When this is set to 'true', the group name and description is hidden if all questions in the group are hidden. The default value is 'true' - hides group name and description when all questions in the group are hidden by conditions. It can be edited in config.php.
  • showpopups:  Show popup messages if mandatory or conditional questions have not been answered correctly:
    • '2' = defined by Theme option (default)
    • '1'= show popup message;
    • '0'= show message on page instead;
    • '-1'= do not show the message at all (in this case, users will still see the question-specific tips indicating which questions must be answered).

Development and debugging

  • debug: With this setting, you set the PHP error reporting to E_ALL. This means that every little notice, warning or error related to the script is shown. This setting should be only switched to '1' if you are trying to debug the application for any reason. If you are a developer, switch it to '2'. Don't switch it to '1' or '2' in production since it might cause path disclosure. The default value is '0' and it can be edited in config.php.
  • debugsql: Activate this setting if you want to display all SQL queries executed for the script on the bottom of each page. Very useful for the optimization of the the number of queries. In order to activate it, change the default value to '1' from the config.php file.

Dans le cas où vous rencontrez une erreur dans l'application, nous vous recommandons fortement d'activer le paramètre de debug pour obtenir une erreur plus détaillée que vous pourrez soumettre avec le report du bug.

    'config'=>array(
        'debug'=>2,
        'debugsql'=>0,
    )

Paramétrage des E-mails

All the settings from below can be overridden in the global settings dialog.

  • 'emailmethod: This determines how email messages are being sent. The following options are available:
    • 'mail:' it uses internal PHP mailer;
    • 'sendmail:' it uses sendmail mailer;
    • 'smtp:' it uses SMTP relaying. Use this setting when you are running LimeSurvey on a host that is not your mail server.
  • 'emailsmtphost: If you use 'smtp' as $emailmethod, then you have to put your SMTP-server here. If you are using Google mail you might have to add the port number like $emailsmtphost = 'smtp.gmail.com:465'.
  • emailsmtpuser: If your SMTP-server needs authentication then set this to your user name, otherwise it must be blank.
  • emailsmtppassword: If your SMTP-server needs authentication then set this to your password, otherwise it must be blank.
  • emailsmtpssl: Set this to 'ssl' or 'tls' to use SSL/TLS for SMTP connection.
  • maxemails: When sending invitations or reminders to survey participants, this setting is used to determine how many emails can be sent in one bunch. Different web servers have different email capacities and if your script takes too long to send a bunch of emails, the script could time out and cause errors. Most web servers can send 100 emails at a time within the default 30 second time limit for a PHP script. If you get script timeout errors when sending large numbers of emails, reduce the number in this setting. Clicking the 'send email invitation' button from the token control toolbar (not the button situated on the right of each token) sends the <maxemails> number of invitations, then it displays a list of the addresses of the recipients and a warning that there are more emails pending than could be sent in one batch. Continue sending emails by clicking below. There are ### emails still to be sent. and provides a "continue button" to proceed with the next batch. I.e., the user determines when to send the next batch after each batch gets emailed. It is not necessary to wait with this screen active. The admin could log out and come back at a later time to send the next batch of invites.

Statistics and response browsing

  • filterout_incomplete_answers: Control the default behavior of filtering incomplete answers when browsing or analyzing responses. For a discussion on incomplete responses see our browsing survey results wiki. Since these records can corrupt the statistics, an option is given to switch this filter on or off in several GUI forms. The parameter can be edited in the config.php. The following options are available:
    • 'show': Allows you to visualize both complete and incomplete answers;
    • 'filter': It shows only complete answers;
    • 'incomplete': Show only incomplete answers.
  • strip_query_from_referer_url: This setting determines if the referrer URL saves the parameter or not. The default value is 'false' (in this case, the referrer URL saves all parameters). Alternatively, this value can be set to 'true' and the parameter part of the referrer URL will be removed.
  • showaggregateddata: when activated, additional statistical values such as the arithmetic mean and standard deviation are shown. Furthermore, the data is aggregated to get a faster overview. For example, results of scale 1+2 and 4+5 are added to have a general ranking like "good" (1/2), "average" (3) and "bad" (4/5). This only affects question types "A" (5 point array) and "5" (5 point choice).
  • PDF Export Settings: This feature activates PDF export for printable surveys and Print Answers. The PDF export function is totally experimental and the output is far from being perfect. Unfortunately, no support can be given at the moment - if you want to help to fix it, please get in touch with us.
    • 'usepdfexport': Set '0' to disable and '1' to enable;
    • 'pdfdefaultfont': It represents the default font that will be used by the pdf export function. The default value is 'auto'. To change it, you have to set it to one of the PDF core fonts.
    • 'alternatepdffontfile': It's an array with language keys and their corresponding font. The default font for each language can be replaced in the config.php file;
    • 'pdffontsize': it shows the font size for normal texts; For the title of the survey, it is <pdffontsize>+4, while for the group title is <pdffontsize>+2. It can be edited in the config.php file or from the [Global settings|global settings]] dialog;
    • 'notsupportlanguages': it includes a list with the languages for which no PDF font was found. The list includes Amharic ('am'), Sinhala ('si'), and Thai ('th'), and it can be found in the config-defaults.php file;
    • 'pdforientation': Set 'L' for Landscape or 'P' for portrait format. It can be edited from the config.php file.
  • Graph setting
    • 'chartfontfile': Sets the font file name that is used to create the statistical charts. The file has to be located in the fonts directory, located in the LimeSurvey root folder. It can be edited in the config.php file;
    • 'alternatechartfontfile': It's an array with language keys and their corresponding font. It can be edited in the config.php file.
  • showsgqacode: This setting is used at the printable survey feature and defaults to 'false. If you set showsgqacode = 'true';, the IDs of each question - and answer if applicable - will be shown. These IDs match the column heading at the Lime_survey_12345 table, which holds the answer data for a certain survey. These IDs can be used for a code book for manual database queries.

LDAP settings

Comme il s'agit d'un sujet complet, nous avons déplacé Paramètres LDAP vers une autre page.

Authentication

À partir de LimeSurvey 2.05, l'authentification sera gérée par des plugins. Par conséquent, les informations ci-dessous peuvent être obsolètes. Voir les plugins wiki pour les informations les plus récentes.

Délégation d'authentification sur le serveur web

Les administrateurs système peuvent souhaiter que leurs administrateurs d'enquête soient authentifiés par rapport à un système d'authentification central (Active Directory, openLdap, Radius, ...) plutôt que d'utiliser la base de données interne de LimeSurvey. Un moyen facile de le faire est de configurer votre logiciel de serveur Web pour utiliser ce système d'authentification externe, puis demander à LimeSurvey de faire confiance à l'identité de l'utilisateur signalée par le serveur Web. Pour activer cette fonctionnalité, vous devez :

  • définir 'auth_webserver' sur 'true' dans config.php;
  • activer l'authentification du côté du serveur Web.

Please note that:

  • LimeSurvey will then bypass its own authentication process (by using the login name reported by the web server without asking for a password);
  • this can only replace the LimeSurvey GUI authentication system, not the survey invitation system (participant interface).

Délégation d'authentification sans importation automatique d'utilisateur

Please note that Authentication Delegation doesn't bypass the LimeSurvey authorization system by default - meaning that, even if you don't have to manage passwords in LimeSurvey, you still need to define the users in the LimeSurvey database and assign them the correct set of rights in order to let them access the administration panel.

A user is then granted access to LimeSurvey if and only if:

  • he has been authenticated to the web server;
  • his login name is defined as a user in the LimeSurvey user database (the user is then granted the privileges of the user defined in the LimeSurvey user database).

Authentication delegation with automatic user import

When managing a huge user database, it is sometimes easier to auto-import users in the LimeSurvey database:

  • auth_webserver_autocreate_user: If set to 'true', LimeSurvey will try to auto-import users authenticated by the web server but not already in its users DB.
  • auth_webserver_autocreate_profile: An array describing the default profile that will be assigned to the user, including the full (fake) name, email, and privileges.

Si vous voulez customiser votre profil d'utilisateur pour qu'il corresponde au nom que vous avez utilisé pour vous enregistrer, vous avez à développer une fonction simple appelée hook_get_autouserprofile - avec cette fonction vous pouvez récupérer à partir d'une base de données de compte utilisateur centrale (par exemple, à partir d'un annuaire LDAP) le vrai nom complet, les noms et l'adresse e-mail d'un utilisateur particulier. Vous pouvez même personnaliser ses privilèges sur le système en fonction des groupes auxquels il est affecté dans la base de données externe.

The hook_get_auth_webserver_profile function takes the user login name as the only argument and can return:

  • False or an empty array - in this case the user is denied access to LimeSurvey;
  • an array containing all common userprofile entries as described in the $WebserverAuth_autouserprofile
function hook_get_auth_webserver_profile($user_name)
{
     // Retrieve user's data from your database backend (for instance LDAP) here
     ... get $user_name_from_backend
     ... get $user_email_from_backend
     ... get $user_lang_from_backend

User name mapping

In the case in which some users have an external user name that is different from their LimeSurvey user name, you may find useful to use a user name mapping. This is done in LimeSurvey by using the auth_webserver_user_map parameter. For instance, imagine you don't have an 'admin' user name defined in your external authentication database. Then, in order to login to LimeSurvey as admin, you'll have to map your external user name (let's call it 'myname') to the admin login name in LimeSurvey. The corresponding setup is:

'config'=>array(
...
'auth_webserver_user_map' => array ('myname' => 'admin');
)

After a successful authentication with the 'myname' login and web server password, you'll be directly authorized to use LimeSurvey as the 'admin' user.

Cela a de graves implications sur le plan de la sécurité, alors utilisez-le avec soin. Protégez également votre config.php de l'accès en écriture par le serveur Web.

Utilisation de mots de passe à utilisation unique

Un utilisateur peut ouvrir la page de connection de LimeSurvey sur efault.com/limesurvey/admin et inscrire son identifiant et son mot de passe à utilisation unique qui aura été écrit précédemment dans la table des utilisateurs (column one_time_pw) par une application externe.

Ce paramètre doit être activé ( config ['use_one_time_passwords'] = true;</ code>) pour permettre l'utilisation de mots de passe à usage unique (default = false). Vous trouverez plus d'informations dans la section Gérer les utilisateurs.

Paramètres de répertoires avancés

  • homeurl: This should be set to the URL location of your administration scripts. These are located in the /limesurvey/admin folder. This should be set to the WEB URL location - for example, http://www.example.com/limesurvey/html/admin. Don't add a trailing slash to this entry. The default setting in config.php attempts to detect the name of your server automatically using a php variable setting - {$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']}. In most cases, you can leave this and just modify the remainder of this string to match the directory name you have put the LimeSurvey scripts in.
  • publicurl: This should be set to the URL location of your 'public scripts'. The public scripts are those located in the "limesurvey" folder (or whatever name you gave to the directory that all the other scripts and directories are kept in). This settings is available in config.php and it is used when token emails are sent.
  • tempurl: This should be set to the URL location of your "/limesurvey/tmp" directory - or to a directory in which you would like LimeSurvey to use to store temporary files, including uploads. This directory must be set to read & write for your webserver (e.g. chmod 755).
  • imagefiles: By default, you should leave this pointing to the URL location of /limesurvey/admin/images - where the images are initially installed. You may, however, prefer to move these images to another location/ If this is the case, point this to the URL directory where they are stored.
  • homedir: This should be set to the physical disk location of your administration scripts - for example "/home/usr/htdocs/limesurvey/admin". Don't add a trailing slash to this entry. The default setting in config.php attempts to detect the default root path of all your documents using the php variable setting {$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']}. In most cases you can leave this and just modify the remainder of this string to match the directory name you have put the LimeSurvey scripts in.
  • publicdir: This should be set to the physical disk location of your 'public scripts'.
  • tempdir: This should be set to the physical disk location of your /limesurvey/tmp directory so that the script can read and write files.
  • sCKEditorURL: url of the fckeditor script.
  • fckeditexpandtoolbar: defines if the fckeditor toolbar should be opened by default.
  • pdfexportdir: This is the directory with the tcpdf.php extensiontcpdf.php.
  • pdffonts: This is the directory for the TCPDF fonts.
