Translation status

- [Please report issues to the YunoHost bugtracker](https://github.com/YunoHost/issues).

Installation
------------

* Fetch the repository

```bash
git clone https://github.com/YunoHost/SSOwat /etc/ssowat
```

NGINX configuration
-------------------

* Add SSOwat's NGINX configuration (`http{}` scope)

```bash
nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/ssowat.conf
```

```nginx

lua_shared_dict cache 10m;
init_by_lua_file /etc/ssowat/init.lua;
access_by_lua_file /etc/ssowat/access.lua;

```

You can also put the `access_by_lua_file` directive in a `server{}` scope if you want to protect only a vhost.

SSOwat configuration
--------------------

```
mv /etc/ssowat/conf.json.example /etc/ssowat/conf.json
nano /etc/ssowat/conf.json
```

If you use YunoHost, you may want to edit the `/etc/ssowat/conf.json.persistent` file, since the `/etc/ssowat/conf.json` will often be overwritten.

## Available parameters

Only the `portal_domain` SSOwat configuration parameters is required, but it is recommended to know the others to fully understand what you can do with it.

- `cookie_secret_file`: Where the secret used for signing and encrypting cookie is stored. It should only be readable by root.
- `cookie_name`: The name of the cookie used for authentication. Its content is expected to be a JWT signed with the cookie secret and should contain a key `user` and `password` (which is needed for Basic HTTP Auth). Because JWT is only encoded and signed (not encrypted), the `password` is expected to be encrypted using the cookie secret.
- `session_folder`: A path to a folder where files exists for any valid valid session id. SSOwat will check for the last modification date to confirm that the session is not expired.
- `domain_portal_urls`: Location of the portal to use for login and browsing apps, to redirect to when access to some route is denied
- `redirected_urls`: Array of URLs and/or URIs to redirect and their redirect URI/URL (**example**: `{ "/": "example.org/subpath" }`).
