remote authentication

to use remote authentication for setup with session (see setup options) start the server with SSO=true environment variable set

SSO=true gwt run or SSO=true rails server or SSO=true jetty-run

which expect the authentication server running on localhost:3000 and an authentication restful service:

• localhost:3000/authentications POST: will authenticate the credentials and returns a user with its groups or an unauthenticated empty response
• localhost:3000/authentications/reset_password POST: will reset the password for the given login without any response data

the used datastructures are:

• authentication
  • login
  • password # not used for reset_password

the result

• user
  • login
  • name
  • groups # list of groups
• group
  • name

using user-management server/authentication server

just clone that user-management, prepare it and start it. and you need the ruby-maven gem installed.

git clone https://mkristian@github.com/dhammaDotOrg/users.git
cd users
rmvn bundle install
rake db:migrate db:seed
rails server

NOTE: the last two commands assumes ./target/bin in your PATH environment variable. otherwise prefix it with rmvn to get it to work.

the password of the root user

just start your application, go to an url where the login page pops up and then reset the password for the root user. in the console of the users server you will the email with the password. with this password you can login both in your application as well in the users application.

add new users and groups

just login with our root in localhost:3000/Users.html@users/new
