31 First Steps with GLPI
Everything you need to know to get started with GLPI
311 General
Choose a web browser
GLPI requires the use of a web browser
Optimal functioning of the application is obtained by using a modern browser compliant with web standards
The following web browsers are supported mdash Edgemdash Firefox (including 2 latests ESR version)mdash Chrome
GLPI also works on mobile it is generally compatible with the mobile versions of the supported browsers
How to connect
Open your browser and go to the GLPI homepage (httpsglpi_address)
Access to the full functionality of the application requires authentication An unauthenticated user can possibly accesscertain functions if GLPI has been configured to allow it
mdash View the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)mdash Open a ticketmdash
Depending on the profile of the authenticated user they may be shown the standard interface or simplified interface
7
GLPI User Documentation Version 95
End your session
To log out click the Logout button in the top right of the screen Once logged out you will be redirected to the loginpage
312 Understanding the interface
Depending on the userrsquos profile some menus and content may differ but the logic of the interface remains the same
The GLPI interface is made up of different areas grouping together the applicationrsquos functionalities according to theirnature
1 The user menu allows you to manage your preferences access help change the current language and discon-nect
2 The main menu allows you to navigate through the different modules
3 The breadcrumb trail allows you to locate the context of use of the main work area
4 The entity selector (in multi-entity mode)
5 The main working area is the privileged space for interaction with the application
6 The search box allows you to perform a global search at any time
313 Manage your password
The change password form can be found in user preferences
You must enter and confirm your password before validation The administrator can disable this feature so the changepassword area does not appear in this case
In the event that the user has forgotten their password the possibility of resetting it is offered to them from the loginpage The link is only present if notifications are enabled
Only users with an e-mail address defined in GLPI and not authenticating via an external source (LDAP mail serveretc) can use this functionality Once the renewal request has been made by entering their e-mail address the userreceives an e-mail providing them with a link allowing them to reset their password
Passwords must follow the defined security policy A real-time check of the entered password is then carried out

GLPI User Documentation Version 95
314 Manage your Preferences
User preferences are accessible from the Preferences tab of the user form by clicking on your name at the top rightof the interface from any page
Each authenticated user has the possibility to modify his preferences if they have the Personalize update right in theirprofile
Main Tab
Here the user can modify the usual personal information mdash Surnamemdash First namemdash Email addressmdash Phone numbersmdash Locationmdash Languagemdash
Note Some fields cannot be modified if they come from an LDAP directory
A user can add email addresses and select the default address which will be used for sending notifications
They can also specify some default behaviors of the application such as the selected profile and entity They can alsoturn off notifications for actions they take
Depending on the profiles the experienced user can also choose to exit the normal application mode In debug modeGLPI displays errors all variable values SQL queries etc It is useful to activate this mode in the event of GLPImalfunction A maximum amount of information can therefore be communicated to the developers This mode alsoallows you to have additional information on different objects in a specific tab (notifications etc)
31 First Steps with GLPI 9
GLPI User Documentation Version 95
Personalization Tab
This tab allows you to modify the general display preferences applied to a given user These parameters take priorityover those defined in the general configuration
Note The Number of results per page value shown here cannot exceed the maximum value set in the general displayoptions
Note that the Remote access key section allows you to regenerate the security key used to access the private flowsoffered by GLPI Currently the ICAL and WEBCAL flows of the planning are protected by this security key which isintegrated into the url
10 Chapitre 3 Table of contents
GLPI User Documentation Version 95
Personal View Tab
Lists custom views defined in objects by the user In particular it allows you to delete the personal views defined toreturn to global views
315 Navigate GLPI modules
The various functions of GLPI have been grouped into several modules built around similar contexts of use The topbar of the interface allows you to navigate between these modules
mdash The Assets module provides access to the various inventoried materialsmdash The Assistance module allows you to create and monitor tickets problems and changes as well as see statisticsmdash The Management module allows you to manage contacts suppliers budgets contracts and documentsmdash The Tools module allows you to manage projects notes the knowledge base reservations RSS feeds and view
reportsmdash The Administration module allows you to administer users groups entities profiles rules and dictionaries It
also allows the maintenance of the application (basic backup and restore check if a new version is available)as well as the management of the email queue
mdash The Setup module provides access to the general configuration options of GLPI notifications collectorsautomatic tasks authentication plugins external links SLA management of titles components as well ascontrol of the uniqueness of fields
The menus presented vary according to the authorizations of the logged in user The navigation context is presented tothe user in the breadcrumb trail
Note You will find at the bottom right a button allowing you to quickly return to the top of the page if necessary
There are keyboard shortcuts that allow you to navigate from one module submodule to another Here is the list ofthese shortcuts
mdash 1 =gt Homemdash Assets
mdash o =gt Computersmdash s =gt Software
mdash Assistancemdash t =gt Ticketsmdash a =gt Statisticsmdash p =gt Planning
mdash Managementmdash d =gt Documents
mdash Toolsmdash b =gt Knowledge basemdash r =gt Reservationsmdash e =gt Reports
mdash Administrationmdash u =gt Usersmdash g =gt Groups
mdash Setupmdash n =gt Dropdowns
Note The combination of keys to associate with these shortcuts varies depending on the operating systems andbrowsers used Here are some examples according to the browsers
mdash Mozilla Firefox ChromeSimultaneously press the keys Alt Shift and the desired shortcut
mdash Opera
31 First Steps with GLPI 11
GLPI User Documentation Version 95
Simultaneously press the keys Esc Shift and the desired shortcut
In addition since version 92 GLPI offers navigation with approximate search (fuzzy) accessible from the keyboardshortcut Ctrl + Alt + G This will open a modal window allowing you to filter via a search field all the menus ofGLPI (all the levels are present you have for example access to the 3rd level such as the dropdowns or the components)
In this window additional shortcuts are available mdash and in order to navigate through the resultsmdash Enter to change the active glpi page on the selected resultmdash Esc to close the window
316 User interfaces
Note The choice of the default interface as well as the visiblity of different modules can be configured in the profilesor from the userrsquos preferences
Standard Interface
This is the main interface of the application All the modules are available but there are limits depending on the profilesettings
The home page of the standard interface provides a summary view for quick access to active elements (tickets notesplanning contracts etc)
It is divided into 5 views mdash Dashboard
A customizable dashboard
mdash Personal view
12 Chapitre 3 Table of contents
GLPI User Documentation Version 95
Shows the tickets opened rejected to be processed to be approved (for which the logged-in user isthe requestor) or those on which this user has an interaction as a validator or technician (awaitingvalidation in progress to be closed in waiting) This view also offers him current issues his scheduleand available notes
mdash Group view
Offers the same information about tickets and issues as the personal view but using the groups to whichit belongs as a reference Depending on their profile they may or may not have access to the tickets forwhich their groups are requesting
mdash Global view
Offers statistics on tickets and issues according to their status and on contracts according to their expi-ration date It also offers the view of the latest additions of objects in GLPI Depending on the configu-ration used new tickets can also be presented in this tab
mdash RSS feed
Proposes the content of defined RSS feeds RSS feeds are managed from the laquo Tools gt RSS Feeds raquomenu
Note For Personal and Group views only tables with information are displayed
Note Two security messages may be displayed when you log in for the first time after completing the installationprocedure
The first asks you to change the passwords of the accounts created by default in GLPI the second asks you to deletethe directory glpiinstall
As long as you have not performed these operations the messages will remain
Simplified Interface
It is the most restrictive interface of the application and is built for an end-user more than a technician Therefore thenumber of available modules is reduced to a minimum
31 First Steps with GLPI 13
GLPI User Documentation Version 95
It is intended for users with very limited permissions in the application such as the built-in self-service and helpdeskprofiles
In the default configuration a user can from this interface only create tickets follow the processing of their ticketsmake reservations view the notes or public RSS feeds (or create private notes or feeds) and consult the FrequentlyAsked Questions
The home page offers the number of its tickets according to their status as well as the most popular and recent FAQtopics
317 View and manage records
The display of all the lists of records and of all the details concerning a record always works in the same way in GLPIWhether itrsquos a list of computers phones or tickets the presentation follows the same principle
A list of elements can be obtained in 2 ways mdash From the search engine
From the search engine after determining the criteria and validating the search a list of records isdisplayed By default no search criteria limit the list of recordings offered and the display is limited tothe first x records in the list which is configurable in the preferences
mdash From another list
Some tabs offer a list of related items For example from a list of computers click on the name of acomputer then navigate to the software tab The list of software installed on this computer is displayed
Details concerning a record are displayed in the form of tabs grouping together similar information For a computerthe financial information and the software list are in two separate tabs
Customize the display
The columns displayed from the complete list of the inventory can be configured Click on the button It ispossible to add delete and order the displayed columns
14 Chapitre 3 Table of contents
GLPI User Documentation Version 95
mdash The global view applies to all profiles having access to a part of the inventory the modification of this partwill therefore be visible by all users
mdash The personal view applies only to the logged-in user and overrides the global view settings This view is onlyavailable if you have the User view right regarding the Search result display
This tab also allows you to reset the display customization of the different lists The user can for eachtype of object return to the default display by deleting this personalization
318 Search for information in GLPI
GLPI has a search engine allowing you to display a set of elements satisfying a certain number of criteria The proposedlists are paginated A navigation bar at the top and bottom of the list is used to define the number of items to displayper page and to navigate between pages
A global search engine (that is one that can use data from objects of different type) is also available
In addition to the list of elements corresponding to the stated criteria these lists offer some additional features mdash Export in different formats (CSV PDF )mdash Massive (Bulk) actionsmdash A marque-pages system to save searches
Perform a basic search
The basic search makes it possible to carry out multiple searches configured and sorted on one of the types of theinventory Depending on the data on which the search is carried out the following operators can be proposed
mdash containsmdash ismdash is notmdash beforemdash after
Searching on dates allows you to specify a specific date (Specify a date) or to define it in relation to the current date(Now + ou - X hour(s) day(s) month or year(s)) It is also possible to specify a search before or after a given date asdefined intervals (Monday Last Saturday Start of month Start of year Start of year etc)
For labels it is possible to search for a given value (is) If the dropdowns can be visible in the sub-entities the choicesunder and not under appear The criteria are added with the + on a gray background
For example to find computers with more than 1024 MiB of memory and more than 80 free disk space
- Type Field Comparison Value- simple Memory contains gt 1024AND simple Volumes - Percentage free contains gt 80
Note Once the criteria have been defined the search is launched by pressing the Search button
Perform a multi-criteria search
The multi-criteria search makes it possible to refine the search by extending it to other types of objects by addingglobal search criteria This type of search is obtained by adding criteria with the + on a white background
For example to find computers with more than 1024 MiB of memory and more than 80 free disk space attached toa 17-inch monitor and having LibreOffice software installed
31 First Steps with GLPI 15
GLPI User Documentation Version 95
- Type Field Comparison Value- simple Memory (Mio) contains gt 1024AND simple Volumes gt Percentage free contains gt 80AND multi Monitor gt Size contains 17AND multi Software gt Name contains LibreOffice
Items in Trash
Some items in GLPI can be trashed To view them in order to restore them or delete them permanently click on theicon representing a recycle bin To return to the display of active elements click again on this icon
Perform an advanced search
Here are some examples of search operators
NULLmdash Find the records with such empty field with a date field ltnumber_of_months orgt number_of_monthsmdash Search for materials with a deadline corresponding to the number of monthsmdash Search for computers that are 5 years old Date of purchase contains lt-60
^123 Find the records containing 123 at the start of the field
Avertissement On some systems you have to type ^ the space bar then the first character
^Windows Find records containing Windows 2000 Windows XP but not with Windows
123$ Find the records containing 123 at the end of the field
^123$ Find records containing only the text 123
Two search criteria linked by the operator AND NOT Find records that do not match a criterion (other than)
Entity is laquo Root entity raquo AND NOT Type contains laquo Laptop raquo Search for all computers in the laquo Root entity raquowhich are not laptops
[Year]-[Month]-[Day] (YYYY-MM-DD) Search by date
For security reasons the operator is not usable
Export the result of a search
The export of the search result in SLK or CSV spreadsheet formats or in PDF format can be done in two differentforms
mdash The current page exports only the data displayed on the screen (for example the first 10 results out of 200)mdash All pages exports all of the search results
The SLK format can be used by many spreadsheets Fields that are too long will be truncated when using software thatdoes not fully comply with the standards In this case it is preferable to use the exports in CSV format
If the data exported in CSV format is imported into Microsoft Excel software accented characters may not be displayedcorrectly This software seems to have difficulty with data encoded in UTF-8
16 Chapitre 3 Table of contents
GLPI User Documentation Version 95
Perform massive actions
A massive action system is integrated into the search engine It allows you to make bulk modifications and performactions to all the selected elements Some examples of the available massive actions (Will differ based on the type ofitem)
mdash Put in trashbinmdash Delete permanentlymdash Restoremdash Connect Disconnectmdash Installmdash Updatemdash Add a contractmdash Enable the financial and administrative informationmdash Add to transfer listmdash Synchronize
To use it simply select the elements for which you want to perform an action then click on the Actions button availableat the top and bottom of the list Then once the type of action has been selected options are optionally presented aswell as a validation button
The results of the actions as well as the information messages are presented at the end of the execution of all theactions
Note mdash You will find in the headers of the table (at the top and at the bottom) a checkbox allowing you to select or
unselect all the elements of the listmdash A similar system of actions is available in certain lists present within the objects themselves The operation is
identical to that explained here
Avertissement The number of elements that can be handled simultaneously is limited by the values ofmax_input_vars or suhosinpostmax_vars in your PHP configuration You may therefore get a mes-sage indicating that massive edits are disabled You just need to increase the values of your PHP configuration orreduce the number of items displayed
Quick search
This tool is located at the top right of the GLPI screen It allows searching within elements including but not limitedto
mdash Ticketsmdash Problemsmdash Changesmdash Projectsmdash Computersmdash Monitorsmdash Softwaremdash Network Equipmentmdash Peripheralsmdash Printers
31 First Steps with GLPI 17
GLPI User Documentation Version 95
mdash Phonesmdash Contactsmdash Contactsmdash Suppliersmdash Documentsmdash Budgetsmdash Licensesmdash Usersmdash Groups
Note The search is carried out only on the fields displayed by default for each of the elements mentioned above Inessence it is the same as an items seen search on each type of element
319 Saved Searches
GLPI offers a system for saving searches (bookmarks) Once the search is done it is possible to save it from a star-shaped button accessible in the search form
There are two types of saved searches mdash Private searches Usable by all users and they are only accessible by their authormdash Public searches Can only be created by authorized users and are accessible by all users provided they belong
to the configured entitiesSaved searches can be accessed by clicking on the star shaped button in the user menu
18 Chapitre 3 Table of contents
GLPI User Documentation Version 95
From this interface it is possible to mdash Reorder private searches (drag amp drop) - public searches use automatic sortingmdash Select a default search (only one possible per type of object) by clicking on the star iconmdash Access the search results (by simply clicking on it)mdash Access the saved searches management interface by clicking on the wrench icon at the top right
Avertissement Setting a particularly heavy search as the default display can have catastrophic effects on theoverall performance of the application
Display of counters
The GLPI settings are used to define whether the counters should be displayed or not In the case of research itrsquos a bitmore complicated
This is because some searches can take a long time (and resources) to complete In order to limit the impact onperformance the heaviest requests are not counted by default So that the execution time of a saved query can becalculated it must be executed at least once A scheduled task is also offered to calculate execution times regularly(and thus avoid requests that would have become heavy over time)
Administrators can override the automatic count method and have a search always or never be counted This possibilityshould be used sparingly
Configuring alerts
It is possible to configure the sending of ldquoalertsrdquo on a saved search using the GLPI notification system Sending anotification is based on the number of results returned by the search compared with the chosen operator to the enteredvalue
31 First Steps with GLPI 19
GLPI User Documentation Version 95
The notification(s) used are displayed for reference from the alerts configuration tab For private research only theuser who created the search can be notified using a template provided by default in this case a single notificationwill be linked
For public searches a specific event must be created as well as a notification that uses it This is only possible fromthe alerts configuration tab
Once the specific notification is created it has to be configured by associating it with a template and by selecting thedesired recipients Note that it is possible to associate several notifications with the same search via the event thatcorresponds to it
Note As long as the notification specific to a public search is not created it will not be possible to add alerts

La gestion des gabarits dans GLPI
Preacutesentation
Pour certains eacuteleacutements de GLPI il est possible de creacuteer de nouveaux eacuteleacutements (ordinateurs par exemple) depuisdes gabarits preacutealablement deacutefinis Un gabarit deacutefinit un masque de creacuteation certaines valeurs peuvent ecirctre deacutefiniesdirectement ou calculeacutees en fonction drsquoun masque (comme un numeacutero drsquoinventaire par exemple)
La gestion des gabarits se reacutealise via lrsquoicocircne situeacutee dans la barre de menu

Eleacutements de lrsquoinventaire
Pour les eacuteleacutements de lrsquoinventaire le gabarit deacutefinit un eacuteleacutement standard en preacute-remplissant certains champs qui serontreacuteutiliseacutes pour la creacuteation drsquoautres eacuteleacutements Cela permet de simplifier lrsquoajout drsquoun grand nombre drsquoeacuteleacutements quasiidentiques

322 Asset module
The GLPI Asset module is used to manage all the assets that are part of your IT infrastructure
Asset management in GLPI
In order to manage hardwares and softwares of an IT infrastructure GLPI allows natively to list all the assets that areused inside the managed organization
However it is possible to automate information pushing from the assets thanks to third-party tools GLPI supports theuse of two existing plugins
mdash The Fusion Inventory plugin transforms GLPI into an inventory server with the Fusion Inventory agents inter-facing directly with the GLPI server
mdash The ocsinventoryng plugin allow to synchronize the GLPI database with the OCS Inventory NG inventorytool the agents installed on the computers interface directly the the OCS Inventory NG server

2 Open the form of the software of the mother entity
3 Activate recursivity (sub-entities to Yes at top right) this will make a new tab Grouping appear after tab History
4 Open this tab a list displays softwares having same names in child entities
5 Select appropriate lines and validate grouping
Avertissement This operation cannot be undone
This grouping have the following effects mdash Licenses are attached to the software in mother entity but stay in origin sub-entitiesmdash Versions are merged no more doubles in mother entitymdash Old softwares are moved to the trash
Note When using a third-party inventory tool some extra steps are mandatory mdash Empty trash after grouping otherwise synchronization will restore the old software in case of new versionmdash Associate the same vendor to the new software as the synchronization checks vendor name a new software

Management of Ethernet network ports
The Ethernet protocol is classically used on internal networks
An Ethernet port is characterized by its type (twisted pair mono-modemulti-mode optical fiber ) a transfer rate((10Mb 100Mb 1Gb 10Gb ) and a MAC address It is possible to associate to the port a network card and anetwork plug
Ethernet connections are realized by linking two Ethernet ports which requires that there is a free port on eachequipment to be connected In general a connection links a port attached to a computer a peripheral or a printer anda port attached to a network equipment (hub switch)
Management of WiFi network ports
The WiFi protocol is widely used on wireless networks
A WiFi port is characterized by the mode of the network card (ad-hoc access point repeater ) the WiFi protocolversion (ab g ) and its MAX address
It is possible to associate a network card to the port similarly to Ethernet ports

Network ports can be of different types mdash physical port ethernet WiFi mdash virtual network port local loop-back alias aggregates mdash point to point switched network
The Network port tab groups in a table the ports that are available on the equipment The table header contains thetotal number of ports and a link that allows to choose display options This allows to selectively display or maskinformations such as network data (IP ) port characteristics depending on its type MAC address VLANs
Note GLPI allows to present complex network connection with for example WiFi or Ethernet port aliases associatedto VLANs grouped in aggregates
Management of Ethernet network ports
The Ethernet protocol is classically used on internal networks
An Ethernet port is characterized by its type (twisted pair mono-modemulti-mode optical fiber ) a transfer rate((10Mb 100Mb 1Gb 10Gb ) and a MAC address It is possible to associate to the port a network card and anetwork plug
Ethernet connections are realized by linking two Ethernet ports which requires that there is a free port on eachequipment to be connected In general a connection links a port attached to a computer a peripheral or a printer anda port attached to a network equipment (hub switch)
Management of WiFi network ports
The WiFi protocol is widely used on wireless networks
A WiFi port is characterized by the mode of the network card (ad-hoc access point repeater ) the WiFi protocolversion (ab g ) and its MAX address
It is possible to associate a network card to the port similarly to Ethernet ports
A WiFi network can be associated to a given port Apart from its name a WiFi network has an ESSID and is charac-terized by its type
Infrastructure WiFi network with on or several access points and connected clients Ad-hoc WiFi network betweensimilar systems without access points
Management of local loop-back ports
The local loop-back is a virtual port used by most equipments for internal communication It is this port that is usedwhen connecting to localhost or 127001
Local loop-back has no specific attribute
Management of network port aliases
A network port alias is a virtual port that can refine a physical port
32 Modules 83
GLPI User Documentation Version 95
On Linux to each VLAN when transmitted laquo tagged raquo is associated a port alias for example eth250 to representVLAN 50 on port eth2
A port alias contains its base port and a MAC address
Note that when the origin port is changed the MAC address of the new port is affected to the port alias
Management of network port aggregates
A network port aggregate is a virtual port that allows to group several physical ports
On Linux aggregates are represented by bridges bridges lthttp wwwlinuxfoundationorgcollaborateworkgroupsnetworkingbridgegtlinking together different ports In the same way an Ethernet firewall uses a bridge that links interfaces to be filtered
A port aggregate contains the origin ports and a MAC address
Note Every deletion or addition of a network port is recorded in the history of the computer

Network ports
This tab named Network ports and visible in a Computer entry allows to manage the network ports attached to acomputer
A network port represents the output of a network interface on a given hardware A port is characterized by a numberand a name
It is possible on a network port to add one or more VLAN these VLANs being defined by a name an optionalcomment and a VLAN number
118 Chapitre 3 Table of contents
GLPI User Documentation Version 95
One or more network name can be associated to each network port This can be done in tab Network name
Note When a network port has only one network name this name is displayed in the network port form itself and itis possible to modify the name directly It is also possible to modify the network name via its own form accessible byclicking on the link under the name
When a network port has several network names the only way to modify the network names is via the network nameform
Network ports can be of different types mdash physical port ethernet WiFi mdash virtual network port local loop-back alias aggregates mdash point to point switched network
The Network port tab groups in a table the ports that are available on the equipment The table header contains thetotal number of ports and a link that allows to choose display options This allows to selectively display or maskinformations such as network data (IP ) port characteristics depending on its type MAC address VLANs
Note GLPI allows to present complex network connection with for example WiFi or Ethernet port aliases associatedto VLANs grouped in aggregates
Management of Ethernet network ports
The Ethernet protocol is classically used on internal networks
An Ethernet port is characterized by its type (twisted pair mono-modemulti-mode optical fiber ) a transfer rate((10Mb 100Mb 1Gb 10Gb ) and a MAC address It is possible to associate to the port a network card and a
32 Modules 119
GLPI User Documentation Version 95
network plug
Ethernet connections are realized by linking two Ethernet ports which requires that there is a free port on eachequipment to be connected In general a connection links a port attached to a computer a peripheral or a printer anda port attached to a network equipment (hub switch)
Management of WiFi network ports
The WiFi protocol is widely used on wireless networks
A WiFi port is characterized by the mode of the network card (ad-hoc access point repeater ) the WiFi protocolversion (ab g ) and its MAX address
It is possible to associate a network card to the port similarly to Ethernet ports
A WiFi network can be associated to a given port Apart from its name a WiFi network has an ESSID and is charac-terized by its type
Infrastructure WiFi network with on or several access points and connected clients Ad-hoc WiFi network betweensimilar systems without access points
Management of local loop-back ports
The local loop-back is a virtual port used by most equipments for internal communication It is this port that is usedwhen connecting to localhost or 127001
Local loop-back has no specific attribute
Management of network port aliases
A network port alias is a virtual port that can refine a physical port
On Linux to each VLAN when transmitted laquo tagged raquo is associated a port alias for example eth250 to representVLAN 50 on port eth2
A port alias contains its base port and a MAC address
Note that when the origin port is changed the MAC address of the new port is affected to the port alias
Management of network port aggregates
A network port aggregate is a virtual port that allows to group several physical ports
On Linux aggregates are represented by bridges bridges lthttp wwwlinuxfoundationorgcollaborateworkgroupsnetworkingbridgegtlinking together different ports In the same way an Ethernet firewall uses a bridge that links interfaces to be filtered
A port aggregate contains the origin ports and a MAC address
Note Every deletion or addition of a network port is recorded in the history of the computer
Note If using native inventory or third-party inventory tool the network ports informations can be automaticallyimported and updated

Annuaires LDAP
GLPI srsquointerface avec un (ou plusieurs) Annuaire LDAP afin drsquoauthentifier les utilisateurs de controcircler leur accegraves dereacutecupeacuterer leurs informations personnelles et drsquoimporter des groupes
Tous les annuaires compatibles LDAP v3 sont supporteacutes par GLPI Crsquoest donc aussi le cas pour lrdquoAnnuaire ActiveDirectory de Microsoft Il nrsquoy a pas de limite quant au nombre drsquoannuaires renseigneacutes bien entendu plus le nombreest eacuteleveacute plus la recherche drsquoun nouvel utilisateur agrave authentifier peut ecirctre longue
Il est possible drsquoimporter et de synchroniser les utilisateurs de 2 maniegraveres mdash au fil de lrsquoeau agrave la premiegravere connexion lrsquoutilisateur est creacuteeacute dans GLPI A chaque login ses informations
personnelles sont synchroniseacutees avec lrsquoannuaire Dans le cas ougrave les collecteurs sont utiliseacutes une adresse demessagerie inconnue sera rechercheacutee dans lrsquoannuaire pour creacuteer lrsquoutilisateur associeacute

Sous Linux installer le paquet ldap pour PHP (par exemple php5-ldap sur Debian) puis redeacutemarrer le serveurweb
Sous Windows il faut deacutecommenter dans le fichier phpini (fichier preacutesent dans le reacutepertoire apachebin) la ligneextension=php_ldapdll puis redeacutemarrer le serveur web
Le processus drsquoauthentification des utilisateurs est deacutecoupeacute en 3 parties lrsquoauthentification le controcircle drsquoaccegraves et enfinla reacutecupeacuteration des donneacutees personnelles
Authentification LDAP
Lors de la premiegravere connexion de lrsquoutilisateur GLPI va srsquoadresser agrave tous les annuaires jusqursquoagrave trouver celui qui contientlrsquoutilisateur Si lrsquooption permettant drsquoimporter des utilisateurs depuis une source externe est active alors celui-ci estcreacuteeacute et lrsquoidentifiant de la meacutethode de connexion et le serveur LDAP sont stockeacutes en base de donneacutees

Controcircle drsquoaccegraves
Le controcircle drsquoaccegraves est lrsquoattribution drsquohabilitations agrave un utilisateur Mecircme si un utilisateur est authentifieacute sur un an-nuaire il nrsquoest pas forceacutement habiliteacute agrave se connecter agrave GLPI
Ce meacutecanisme repose sur lrsquoutilisation de regravegles drsquoaffectations drsquohabilitations

Annuaire LDAP
32 Modules 215
GLPI User Documentation Version 95
Note Il existe un modegravele de preacute-configuration Active Directory qui preacute-remplit un certain nombre de champsCelui-ci a eacuteteacute mis en place afin de faciliter la configuration GLPI-AD
Pour le charger cliquer sur le lien Active Directory lors de lrsquoajout drsquoun annuaire Le lien Valeur(s) par deacutefautreacuteinitialise la saisie
mdash serveur par deacutefaut si vous avez plusieurs serveurs LDAP de parameacutetreacutes vous ne pouvez deacutefinir qursquoun seulserveur par deacutefaut Le fait de choisir ce paramegravetre le supprime du serveur sur lequel il eacutetait preacuteceacutedemmentparameacutetreacute
mdash serveur et port repreacutesentant lrsquoadresse de lrsquoannuaire LDAPmdash basedn emplacement de lrsquoannuaire agrave partir duquel les recherches et lectures seront effectueacutees
Note Le basedn doit ecirctre renseigneacute sous la forme du DN complet de lrsquoutilisateur Par exempleCN=glpiadminDC=mondomaine si le compte dans lrsquoannuaire pour GLPI est glpiadmin
mdash DN du compte identifiant de connexion agrave lrsquoannuaire LDAP (dans le cas drsquoun accegraves non anonyme) mdash Mot de passe du compte mot de passe correspondant (dans le cas drsquoun accegraves non anonyme) Il est possible
drsquoeffacer le mot de passe en cochant la case effacer puis de valider mdash filtre de connexion permet de restreindre la recherche de personnes dans lrsquoannuaire Par exemple si seul un
ensemble restreint de personnes de lrsquoannuaire ont le droit de se connecter agrave GLPI il faut mettre en place unecondition pour restreindre la recherche agrave ces personnes
On peut citer les exemples de filtres suivants mdash un filtre classique LDAP peut ecirctre (objectclass=inetOrgPerson)mdash pour Active Directory utiliser le filtre suivant qui ne renvoie que les utilisa-
teurs non deacutesactiveacutes (car les machines sont aussi consideacutereacutees comme des utili-sateurs par AD) (amp(objectClass=user)(objectCategory=person)((userAccountControl1284011355614803=2)))
Il faut noter que ce filtre est automatiquement rempli lorsque le modegravele de preacute-configurationActive Directory est seacutelectionneacute
mdash Champ de lrsquoidentifiant nom du champ dans lrsquoannuaire LDAP correspondant agrave lrsquoidentifiant de lrsquoutilisateur(par exemple uid sur un annuaire LDAP samaccountname sur un annuaire AD)
mdash Champ de synchronisation nom du champ utiliseacute pour la synchronisation Ce champ doit identifier de ma-niegravere unique lrsquoutilisateur il permet de prendre en compte le cangement de login (par exemple employeeuidsur un LDAP ou objectguid pour un AD)
Avertissement Ne pas oublier drsquoactiver votre annuaire et de le deacutefinir lrsquoannuaire par deacutefaut si vous avez plusieursannuaires
Base DN et utilisateur authentifieacute
Attention le rootdn et le basedn doivent ecirctre eacutecrits sans espaces apregraves les virgules De plus la casse est importante
Exemple de rootdn mdash cn=Admin ou=users dc=mycompany incorrectmdash cn=Adminou=usersdc=mycompany correct
Pour Active Directory si on utilise le userprincipalname au lieu du samaccountname on peut avoir un rootdn sous laforme prenomnomdomainefr
Les paramegravetres agrave entrer sont tregraves simples par exemple mdash hocircte ldapmycompanyfrmdash basedn dc=mycompanydc=fr
216 Chapitre 3 Table of contents
GLPI User Documentation Version 95
Et cela doit suffire si la recherche anonyme est permise Dans le cas contraire et si tous les utilisateurs ne sont paspositionneacutes au sein du mecircme DN il vous faut speacutecifier le DN drsquoun utilisateur autoriseacute et son mot de passe rootdnPassPour Active Directory il est obligatoire de renseigner un compte qui a le droit de srsquoauthentifier sur le domaine
En tentant de se connecter agrave lrsquoannuaire gracircce agrave un browser LDAP il est possible de tester ces paramegravetres Il en existebeaucoup mais on peut citer
mdash LdapBrowser Editor (logiciel libre eacutecrit en Java et donc multi-plateforme)mdash ADSIedit pour Active Directory Cet outil se trouve sur les supports toolsoutils suppleacutementaires du CD drsquoins-
tallation de Windows Server
Note Si certains des utilisateurs ont des restrictions de connexion agrave certaines machines configureacutees dans leur profilAD lrsquoerreur suivante est possible lors drsquoune tentative de login sur la page drsquoaccueil de GLPI Utilisateur non trouveacuteou plusieurs utilisateurs identiques trouveacutes La solution consiste agrave ajouter le serveur heacutebergeant lrsquoAD agrave la liste desPC sur lesquels lrsquoutilisateur peut se connecter
Tester
Permet de tester la configuration deacutefinie dans lrsquoonglet Annuaire LDAP
Le message Test de connexion reacuteussi indique que GLPI a pu se connecter agrave lrsquoannuaire LDAP avec les informationsrenseigneacutees (hocircte port compte utilisateur)
Il reste deacutesormais agrave importer les utilisateurs Pour cela il faut bien veacuterifier les autres paramegravetres (filtre de connexionchamps de login etc)

GLPI User Documentation Version 95
Informations avanceacutees
Dans le cas ougrave lrsquoheure de la machine heacutebergeant lrsquoannuaire LDAP nrsquoest pas dans le mecircme fuseau horaire que celui deGLPI il faut modifier la variable Fuseau horaire afin drsquoajuster le deacutelai en effet cela peut provoquer des reacutesultatserroneacutes dans la liste des utilisateurs agrave synchroniser
Connexion LDAP seacutecuriseacutee
GLPI gegravere la connexion seacutecuriseacutee agrave un annuaire LDAP agrave travers une connexion SSL (aussi appeleacute LDAPS) Il suffitde rajouter devant le nom de lrsquohocircte (ou son IP) ldaps Ainsi que de changer le port (par deacutefaut 636) Par exemplelrsquoaccegraves en LDAPS en local donnera Hocircte ldaps 127001 Port 636
Limite du nombre drsquoenregistrement retourneacutes (sizelimit)
Il existe souvent deux limites sur le nombre maximum drsquoenregistrements retourneacutes par une requecircte LDAP mdash la limite du client (deacutefinie par exemple sur DebianUbuntu dans etcldapldapconf)mdash la limite imposeacutee par le serveur si la limite deacutefinie par le client est supeacuterieure agrave la limite serveur crsquoest cette
derniegravere qui prend le dessus
Avertissement Si la limite est atteinte lrsquooption de comportement lors de la suppression drsquoun utilisateur delrsquoannuaire ne peut fonctionner De plus GLPI affichera un message drsquoavertissement lors drsquoun import ou drsquounesynchronisation
Avec PHP 54 ou supeacuterieur il est deacutesormais possible de contourner la limitation du sizelimit en activant dans lrsquoongletInformations avanceacutees la pagination des reacutesultats Dans ce mode PHP va requecircter lrsquoannuaire autant de fois queneacutecessaire et par tranche de X reacutesultats jusqursquoagrave ce que lrsquoensemble des enregistrements soient renvoyeacutes
Lrsquooption Taille des pages permet drsquoajuster cette valeur de mecircme que nombre maximum de reacutesultats deacutefinit la limitedrsquoenregistrement agrave ne pas deacutepasser lors drsquoune requecircte LDAP (afin par exemple drsquoeacuteviter une erreur indiquant que PHPdemande plus de meacutemoire que ce qui lui est alloueacute)
218 Chapitre 3 Table of contents

Note Sur un annuaire OpenLDAP la limite par deacutefaut est agrave 500 enregistrements sur un Active Directory elle est de1000
Sur un Active directory il est possible de modifier la valeur du MaxPageSize gracircce aux commandes suivantes (attentioncette modification est globale agrave tout lrsquoannuaire)
Reacuteplicats
Si un annuaire LDAP nrsquoest pas accessible les utilisateurs ne pourront plus se connecter agrave GLPI
Afin drsquoeacuteviter cette situation des reacuteplicats peuvent ecirctre deacuteclareacutes ils partagent la mecircme configuration que le serveurqursquoils reacutepliquent mais sont disponibles agrave une adresse diffeacuterente
Lrsquoutilisation des reacuteplicats se fait uniquement dans le cas drsquoune perte de connexion agrave lrsquoannuaire maicirctre Lrsquoajout dereacuteplicats se fait dans la fiche drsquoun annuaire en renseignant un nom qui sera afficheacute dans GLPI ainsi qursquoun nomdrsquohocircte et un port Il nrsquoy a pas de limite quant au nombre drsquoannuaires reacutepliqueacutes

Intituleacutes Internet
Le protocole IP est mateacuterialiseacute sous plusieurs formes adresses IP reacuteseaux IP mais aussi des FQDN
Un eacutequipement se connecte au reacuteseau au travers de ports reacuteseaux
Agrave un port reacuteseau on associe un ou plusieurs Noms reacuteseau(voir ci-dessous)
Un Nom reacuteseau peut appartenir agrave un Domaine Internet Il peut contenir une ou plusieurs adresses IP (voir ci-dessous)et il peut avoir plusieurs alias
Une adresse IP appartient agrave un reacuteseau IP (voir ci-dessous)
Au niveau protocole IP les reacuteseaux sont indiffeacuteremment en IPv4 et en IPv6
Note GLPI gegravere indiffeacuteremment IPv4 et IPv6 La seule distinction provient du format des adresses et des masques
2128513766 est une adresse IPv4 alors que 2a00 1450 4007 803 1012 est en IPv6
GLPI considegravere IPv4 comme un sous-ensemble drsquoIPv6 les traitements sont les mecircmes
GLPI utilise deux repreacutesentations pour les adresses IP (IPv6 et IPv4) mdash La repreacutesentation binaire lui permet de faire lrsquoanalyse des relations entre reacuteseaux adresses et masques Elle est
inaccessible agrave lrsquoutilisateurmdash La repreacutesentation textuelle est celle utiliseacutee pour lrsquoaffichage et la saisie des donneacutees
Les adresses et les masques IPv4 sont repreacutesenteacutes par leur forme classique (ie 2128513766 2552552550) La repreacutesentation des adresses IPv6 est celle canonique (ie 2001 db8 0 85a3 ac1f 8001 plutocirct que 2001 0db8 0000 85a3 0000 0000 ac1f 8001) Lesmasques IPv6 sont repreacutesenteacutes sous la forme du preacutefixe de sous reacuteseau (ie nombre de bits agrave 1 dans lemasque)
Reacuteseaux IP
Les Reacuteseaux IP permettent de deacutefinir la topologie des reacuteseaux
Ils regroupent un ensemble drsquoadresses IP regroupeacutees selon la topologie deacutefinie par le plan drsquoadressage des administra-teurs du reacuteseau

Un reacuteseau est composeacute au minimum drsquoune adresse et drsquoun masque Agrave cela peut srsquoajouter une passerelle
Un reacuteseau est dit adressable si il est utiliseacute pour le routage interne des ordinateurs En drsquoautres termes son masquede sous-reacuteseau et sa passerelle sont utiliseacutes par tous les eacutequipements du reacuteseau (si un ou plusieurs ordinateurs nrsquoontpas les mecircmes informations cela peut engendrer des problegravemes de routage ) Geacuteneacuteralement un reacuteseau ayant unepasserelle est adressable car la passerelle est connue de tous les eacutequipements et elle ne peut appartenir qursquoagrave un seulsous-reacuteseau Mais un reacuteseau adressable nrsquoa pas neacutecessairement de passerelle Crsquoest par exemple le cas des reacuteseauxpriveacutees (1921684802552552550 ) ou de la boucle locale (1270002552552550 ou 1128)

331 Utilisation du cache
Les informations sur lrsquoutilisation du cache sont disponible dans Configuration Geacuteneacuterale Systegraveme)
Nouveau dans la version 92
Modifieacute dans la version 921
Si lrsquoun des systegravemes de cache APCu ou WinCache est preacutesent sur le serveur il sera automatiquement utiliseacute par GLPILe systegraveme se base sur ZendCache
Le cache permet drsquoameacuteliorer les performances sur certaines opeacuterations relativement lourdes telles que le chargementdes traductions ou le calcul des arbres des entiteacutes
On distingue deux caches distincts dans GLPI mdash le cache base de donneacuteesmdash le cache traduction
Cette distinction permet drsquoeacuteviter de stocker le cache des traductions sur un reacuteseau cela pourrait produire un trop grandnombre de requecirctes sur le reacuteseau et avoir au final un impact neacutegatif
A lrsquoinverse le cache de la base de donneacutees devrait ecirctre sur le reacuteseau en cas de frontaux multiples
Afin de vous permettre drsquoaffiner les reacuteglages ou drsquoutiliser un autre systegraveme de cache une solution manuelle estproposeacutee Pour en profiter ajouter dans la table glpi_configs une cleacute cache_db etou cache_trans pour lecontexte core et adapter la valeur en fonction de ce que vous souhaitez
Note Si le but est de deacutesactiver lrsquoun ou lrsquoautre de ces caches creacuteer la cleacute dans la table mais laisser la valeur vide

Avertissement Si vous installez plusieurs instances de GLPI sur un mecircme serveur le namespace du cache doitecirctre unique par instance ce qui nrsquoeacutetait pas le cas dans GLPI avant la version 924
Si vous avez speacutecifieacute votre propre namespace dans la configuration assurez-vous qursquoil est bien unique sur chaqueinstance
Si votre version de GLPI est anteacuterieure agrave la 924 il faudra ajouter le namespace dans la configuration du cache dechacune de vos instances

Toutefois sur des instances qui pourraient ecirctre fortement solliciteacutees il peut ecirctre utile de ne pas inclures les fichiers depolices pour les PDF dans ce cache En effet elles y prennent eacutenormeacutement de place et le gain est relativement minime
Afin drsquoexclure les fichiers de police du cache il suffit de renseigner leur chemin complet dans un fichier deliste noire pour opcache Le chemin de ce fichier est deacutetermineacute par la diective de configuration opcacheblacklist_filename (etcphpdopcache-glpiblacklist par exemple sous Fedora) Si votre ins-tance de GLPI se situe dans le dossier varwww le chemin agrave exclure sera varwwwhtmlglpiglpi-921vendortecnickcomtcpdffonts
Bien entendu lrsquoemplacement du fichier de configuration et le chemin vers les polices est agrave adapter en fonction de votresystegraveme et de votre type drsquoinstallation
