# ORY Hydra configuration for CAcert

This repository contains instructions how to setup [ORY
Hydra](https://www.ory.sh/hydra/) for the OAuth2 / OpenID Connect operations
required for the CAcert IDP and client registration applications.

The setup and configuration has been tested on Debian testing on 2022-08-09
using the following versions software versions:

- mkcert v1.4.4
- openssl 3.0.4
- PostgreSQL 14.4
- ORY Hydra v1.11.9

## Setup

### Certificates

You need a set of certificates for the Hydra. I recommend to use the
[mkcert](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert) utility by Filippo Valsorda:

1. Setup local CA

   ```shell
   mkcert -install
   ```

2. Create a key pair and certificate

   ```shell
   mkcert hydra.cacert.localhost auth.cacert.localhost
   ```

### Setup Hydra

We use the ORY Hydra OAuth2 / OpenID Connect implementation. Install Hydra
according to their [documentation](https://www.ory.sh/hydra/docs/install).
The setup has been tested with the Linux binary installation.

Preconditions:

- generate certificate + key (see above)
- generate a database password (`openssl rand -base64 16` might be a good idea)
- generate a secret key for your instance (`openssl rand -base64 32` might be a good idea)

Perform the Hydra database setup:

```shell
sudo -i -u postgres psql
> CREATE DATABASE hydra_local ENCODING 'utf-8';
> CREATE USER hydra_local WITH PASSWORD '${YOUR_POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD}';
> GRANT CONNECT, CREATE ON DATABASE hydra_local TO hydra_local;

hydra migrate sql "postgres://hydra_local:${YOUR_POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD}@localhost:5432/hydra_local"
```

*Note*: replace `${YOUR_POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD}` with the password generated above

Create a configuration file for Hydra i.e. ``hydra.yaml``:

```
serve:
  admin:
    host: hydra.cacert.localhost
  public:
    host: auth.cacert.localhost
  tls:
    cert:
      path: hydra.cacert.localhost+1.pem
    key:
      path: hydra.cacert.localhost+1.key.pem
  dsn: 'postgres://hydra_local:${YOUR_POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD}@localhost:5432/hydra_local'

webfinger:
  oidc_discovery:
    supported_claims:
      - email
      - email_verified
      - given_name
      - family_name
      - middle_name
      - name
      - birthdate
      - zoneinfo
      - locale
      - https://cacert.localhost/groups
    supported_scope:
      - profile
      - email

oauth2:
  expose_internal_errors: false

urls:
  login: https://login.cacert.localhost:3000/login
  consent: https://login.cacert.localhost:3000/consent
  logout: https://login.cacert.localhost:3000/logout
  error: https://login.cacert.localhost:3000/error
  post_logout_redirect: https://login.cacert.localhost:3000/logout-successful
  self:
    public: https://auth.cacert.localhost:4444/
    issuer: https://auth.cacert.localhost:4444/

secrets:
  system:
    - "${YOUR_SECRET_FOR_HYDRA}"
```

*Note:* Replace `${YOUR_POSTGRESQL_PASSWORD}` and `${YOUR_SECRET_FOR_HYDRA}`
with the values generated above.

The available configuration options are described in the
[Hydra configuration documentation](https://www.ory.sh/hydra/docs/reference/configuration).

## Start

Now you can start Hydra:

```shell
hydra serve all --config hydra.yaml
```

## Add OpenID Connect configuration for a client

Create an OpenID Connect (OIDC) client configuration for the demo application

```shell
hydra clients create --endpoint https://hydra.cacert.localhost:4445/ \
    --callbacks https://app.cacert.localhost:4000/callback \
    --logo-uri https://register.cacert.localhost:3000/images/app.png \
    --name "Client App Demo" \
    --scope "openid offline_access profile email" \
    --post-logout-callbacks https://app.cacert.localhost:4000/after-logout \
    --client-uri https://register.cacert.localhost:3000/info/app
```

The command returns a client id and a client secret, that you need for the
demo application configuration.
