It includes classes for the profiles itself and the master configuration (default profile, master password, etc.).<br> <br> There are also two global functions for general use: <span style="font-style: italic;">setlanguage</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">metarefresh</span><br> <br> <h2>Meta refresh</h2> The global function <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">metaRefresh()</span> takes an URL as argument and prints all HTML code needed for a meta refresh to this URL.<br> <br> <h2>Language</h2> LAM uses <span style="font-style: italic;">gettext</span> to translate the HTML pages to the different languages. Therefore some preferences need to be set on every page load. This is done by <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">setlanguage()</span>.<br> The function should be called directly after starting the session.<br> <br> The list of possible languages is stored in <span style="font-style: italic;">config/language</span>. It includes the locale name, the character encoding an the language name.<br> All languages use UTF-8 as encoding because LDAP also stores values in this format.<br> <br> <h2>Configuration profiles</h2> Each configuration profile is saved in a single file in <span style="font-weight: bold;">config/</span>.<br> <br> There are two types of configuration options:<br> <ul> <li>Static options (LDAP server settings, etc.)<br> </li> <li>Module options (UID/GID ranges)<br> </li> </ul> All static options have a describing comment in the configuration file to make it easier for the user to modify the values. The dynamic options provided by the modules do not include a comment.<br> <br> <h2>Master configuration file</h2> LAM stores the default configuartion profile and a master password in <span style="font-style: italic;">config/config.cfg</span>.<br> The master password is verified when the user wants to create/delete configuration profiles.<br> </body> </html>
