some ideas / wishes for one of the next versions

[bodsch]

I maintain several Ansible roles and would like to finally give them LDAP support after a long time.
In my search for an LDAP server that is as lean and easy to configure as possible, I discovered glauth.

I am currently in the process of creating a suitable Ansible role.

And I have some ideas / wishes for one of the next versions of glauth ;)

1. a --validate-config parameter to check the configuration before (re)starting the service.
2. a metrics interface to connect glauth to a prometheus.
3. a complete documentation of all configuration parameters. Maybe easier via a --dump-config parameter that outputs a complete configuration?

For example, there are some configuration parameters and sections in config.go that are not documented anywhere. E.g. Frontent, Helper or PassAppSHA256 ...

Regards, Bodo

• --validate-config I cannot believe that I implemented this in some of my other projects but did not yet get around to doing the same for GLAuth. Excellent suggestion.
• prometheus: literally my day job. I'll work on that.
• I thought this was all documented at https://glauth.github.io/docs/ -- I will double-check

I hadn't seen or found that!
I will have a closer look.
