Setup

Certificates

You need a set of certificate and private key and a PEM file with CA certificates used to verify client certificates to run cacert-idp.

An easy way to generate server certificate and key for local testing is mkcert.

1. Run mkcert to generate idp.cacert.localhost+1.pem and idp.cacert.localhost+1-key.pem:

   mkcert -cert-file idp.cacert.localhost login.cacert.localhost
   

2. Copy CA certificate for client certificates

   (curl -s http://www.cacert.org/certs/CAcert_Class3Root_x14E228.crt ; \
    curl -s http://www.cacert.org/certs/root_X0F.crt ) > client_ca.pem
   

Configure IDP

The Identity Provider application (IDP) requires a strong random key for its CSRF cookie. You can generate such a key using the following openssl command:

openssl rand -base64 32

Use this value to create idp.toml:

[security]
csrf.key = "<32 bytes of base64 encoded data>"

Start

Now you can start the IDP:

make
go run cmd/idp.go

Translations

This application uses go-i18n for internationalization (i18n) support.

The translation workflow needs the go18n binary which can be installed via

go install github.com/nicksnyder/go-i18n/v2/goi18n

To extract new messages from the code run

goi18n extract .

Then use

goi18n merge active.*.toml

to create TOML files for translation as translate.<locale>.toml. After translating the messages run

goi18n merge active.*.toml translate.*.toml

to merge the messages back into the active translation files. To add a new language you need to add the language code to the languages configuration option (default is defined in the configmap in cmd/idp.go).
