+
+'''Apache configuration'''

+<VirtualHost *:80>
+   ServerName sd.example.com
+
+   DocumentRoot /usr/share/service-desk/htdocs

+**//Note-//** The application can also be published in a directory inside the default host
+
+'''LDAP authentication and authorization'''
+
+You can use Apache [https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_authnz_ldap.html mod_authnz_ldap]. This module checks user credentials against the LDAP directory and can restrict access to users or groups.
+
+{{{
+<Directory /usr/share/service-desk/htdocs>

+    AuthType basic
+    AuthName "LTB Service Desk"

+    Require ldap-group cn=support,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
+</Directory>
+}}}
+
+'''External authentication'''
+
+You can use any authentication source and authentication protocols, like CAS, SAML or OpenID Connect. Configuring these solutions is out of scope of the current documentation.
+
+'''General parameters'''
+
+Set default language in $lang
+
+{{{
+$lang = "en";
+}}}

+
+{{{

+}}}
+
+'''Background'''
+
+You change the background image with your own. Set the path to image in $background_image:
+
+{{{
+$background_image = "images/unsplash-space.jpeg";
+}}}
+
+'''Custom CSS'''

+}}}
+

+
+You can turn on debug mode with $debug:
+
+{{{

+}}}
+
+This is also possible to enable Smarty debug, for web interface issues:
+
+{{{
+$smarty_debug = true;
+}}}
+
+'''Smarty'''
+
+You need to define where Smarty is installed:
+{{{
+define("SMARTY", "/usr/share/php/smarty3/Smarty.class.php");
+}}}
+
+'''Notify administrator by mail'''
+
+It is possible to provide mail of administrator to service-desk using a HTTP header.
+
+$header_name_notify_admin_by_mail is name of header that will be provided to cgi script as HTTP_$header_name_notify_admin_by_mail to set administrator mail from webserver.
+
+{{{
+$header_name_notify_admin_by_mail = "SSP-Admin-Mail";
+}}}
+
+Using Apache, we may set such header using the following:
+
+{{{
+<VirtualHost *:80>
+   ServerName ssp.domain1.com
+   RequestHeader setIfEmpty SSP-Admin-Mail admin@example.com
+   [...]
+</VirtualHost>
+}}}
