Setup

Certificates

You need a set of certificates for the IDP. You can use the Test CA created by the setup_test_ca.sh script from the CAcert developer setup repository like this:

1. create signing requests

   mkdir certs
   cd certs
   openssl req -new -newkey rsa:3072 -nodes \
       -keyout idp.cacert.localhost.key \
       -out idp.cacert.localhost.csr.pem \
       -subj /CN=idp.cacert.localhost \
       -addext subjectAltName=DNS:idp.cacert.localhost,DNS:login.cacert.localhost
   cp *.csr.pem $PATH_TO_DEVSETUP_TESTCA/
   

2. Use the CA to sign the certificates

   pushd $PATH_TO_DEVSETUP_TESTCA/
   openssl ca -config ca.cnf -name class3_ca -extensions server_ext \
       -in idp.cacert.localhost.csr.pem \
       -out idp.cacert.localhost.crt.pem -days 365
   popd
   cp $PATH_TO_DEVSETUP_TESTCA/idp.cacert.localhost.crt.pem .
   

3. Copy CA certificate for client certificates

   openssl x509 -in $PATH_TO_DEVSETUP_TESTCA/class3/ca.crt.pem \
       -out 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:

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 get -u  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).
