-h2(#dependencies). Install dependencies
+h2(#dependencies). Install prerequisites
+
+The Arvados package repository includes an SSO server package that can help automate much of the deployment.
h3(#install_ruby_and_bundler). Install Ruby and Bundler
On a Debian-based system, install the following package:
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo apt-get arvados-sso-server</span>
+<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo apt-get install arvados-sso-server</span>
</code></pre>
</notextile>
h2(#database). Set up the database
-Generate a new database password. Nobody ever needs to memorize it or type it, so make a strong one:
+If PostgreSQL was newly installed as a dependency of the @arvados-sso-server@ package, you will need to start the service.
+
+On a Debian-based system:
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo service postgresql start</span>
+</code></pre>
+</notextile>
+
+On a Red Hat-based system, we also need to initialize the database system:
+
+<notextile>
+<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo service postgresql initdb</span>
+~$ <span class="userinput">sudo service postgresql start</span>
+</code></pre>
+</notextile>
+
+{% assign pg_service = "postgresql" %}
+{% assign pg_hba_path = "/var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf" %}
+{% include 'install_redhat_postgres_auth' %}
+
+Next, generate a new database password. Nobody ever needs to memorize it or type it, so make a strong one:
<notextile>
<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">ruby -e 'puts rand(2**128).to_s(36)'</span>
Configure the SSO server to connect to your database by updating @/etc/arvados/sso/database.yml@. Replace the @xxxxxxxx@ database password placeholder with the new password you generated above. Be sure to update the @production@ section.
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">edit /etc/arvados/sso/database.yml</span>
+<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">editor /etc/arvados/sso/database.yml</span>
</code></pre></notextile>
Create a new database user with permission to create its own databases.
Enter it again: <span class="userinput">paste-database-password-you-generated</span>
</code></pre></notextile>
-Rails will take care of creating the database, based on the information from @/etc/arvados/sso/database.yml@.
+Rails will take care of creating the database, based on the information from @/etc/arvados/sso/database.yml@.
Alternatively, if the database user you intend to use for the SSO server should not be allowed to create new databases, the user and the database can be created like this:
~$ <span class="userinput">sudo -u postgres createdb arvados_sso_production -E UTF8 -O arvados_sso -T template0</span>
</code></pre></notextile>

-If you are installing on CentOS6, you will need to modify PostgreSQL's configuration to allow password authentication for local users. The default configuration allows 'ident' only. The following commands will make the configuration change, and restart PostgreSQL for it to take effect.

-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo sed -i -e "s/127.0.0.1\/32 ident/127.0.0.1\/32 md5/" /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf</span>
-~$ <span class="userinput">sudo sed -i -e "s/::1\/128 ident/::1\/128 md5/" /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf</span>

h2(#reconfigure_package). Reconfigure the package
-Now that the @/etc/arvados/sso/application.yml@ and @/etc/arvados/sso/database.yml@ files have been updated, we need to reconfigure our installed package. Doing so will create and/or initialize the database and precompile the assets.
-
-On a Debian-based system:
-
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo dpkg-reconfigure arvados-sso-server</span>
-</code></pre>
-</notextile>
-
-On a Red Hat-based system, we need to reinstall the package instead:
-
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">sudo yum reinstall arvados-sso-server</span>
-</code></pre>

h2(#client). Create arvados-server client
-Use @rails console@ to create a @Client@ record that will be used by the Arvados API server. The values of @app_id@ and @app_secret@ correspond to the values for @sso_app_id@ and @sso_app_secret@ in the "API server's SSO settings.":install-api-server.html#omniauth
