</code></pre></notextile>
-h2. Configure the SSO server
+h2(#create-application-yml). Configure the SSO server
-First, copy the example configuration file:
+The SSO server runs from the @/var/www/arvados-sso/current/@ directory. The files @/var/www/arvados-sso/current/config/application.yml@ and @/var/www/arvados-sso/current/config/database.yml@ will be symlinked to the configuration files in @/etc/arvados/sso/@.
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>~/sso-devise-omniauth-provider$ <span class="userinput">cp -i config/application.yml.example config/application.yml</span>
-</code></pre></notextile>
+The SSO server reads the @config/application.yml@ file, as well as the @config/application.defaults.yml@ file. Values in @config/application.yml@ take precedence over the defaults that are defined in @config/application.defaults.yml@. The @config/application.yml.example@ file is not read by the SSO server and is provided for installation convenience only.
+
+Consult @config/application.default.yml@ for a full list of configuration options. Local configuration goes in @/etc/arvados/sso/application.yml@, do not edit @config/application.default.yml@.
-The SSO server reads the @config/application.yml@ file, as well as the @config/application.defaults.yml@ file. Values in @config/application.yml@ take precedence over the defaults that are defined in @config/application.defaults.yml@. The @config/application.yml.example@ file is not read by the SSO server and is provided for installation convenience, only.
+Create @/etc/arvados/sso/application.yml@ and add these keys:
-Consult @config/application.default.yml@ for a full list of configuration options. Always put your local configuration in @config/application.yml@, never edit @config/application.default.yml@.
+<pre>
+production:
+ uuid_prefix: xxxxx
+ secret_token: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
+</pre>
h3(#uuid_prefix). uuid_prefix
-Define your @uuid_prefix@ in @config/application.yml@ by setting the @uuid_prefix@ field in the section for your environment. This prefix is used for all database identifiers to identify the record as originating from this site. It must be exactly 5 alphanumeric characters (lowercase ASCII letters and digits).
+Most of the time, you want this to be the same as your @ClusterID@. If not, generate a new one from the command line listed previously.
h3(#secret_token). secret_token
Generate a new secret token for signing cookies:
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~/sso-devise-omniauth-provider$ <span class="userinput">ruby -e 'puts rand(2**400).to_s(36)'</span>
+<pre><code>~$ <span class="userinput">ruby -e 'puts rand(2**400).to_s(36)'</span>
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
</code></pre></notextile>
-Then put that value in the @secret_token@ field.
-
h3(#authentication_methods). Authentication methods
-Three authentication methods are supported: Google+, LDAP, and local accounts.
-
-h3(#google). Google+ authentication
-
-In order to use Google+ authentication, you must use the "Google Developers Console":https://console.developers.google.com to create a set of client credentials. In short:
-
-* Enable the Contacts and Google+ APIs.
-* Create an OAuth Client ID for a web application.
-** JavaScript origins: @https://sso.example.com/@
-** Redirect URIs: @https://sso.example.com/auth/google_oauth2/callback@
-
-Copy the "Client ID" and "Client secret" values from the Google Developers Console into the Google section of @config/application.yml@, like this:
-
-<notextile>
-<pre><code>
- # Google API tokens required for OAuth2 login.
- #
- # See https://github.com/zquestz/omniauth-google-oauth2
- #
- # and https://developers.google.com/accounts/docs/OAuth2
- google_oauth2_client_id: "<span class="userinput">---YOUR---CLIENT---ID---HERE---</span>"
- google_oauth2_client_secret: "<span class="userinput">---YOUR---CLIENT---SECRET---HERE---</span>"
-
- # Set this to your OpenId 2.0 realm to enable migration from Google OpenId
- # 2.0 to Google OAuth2 OpenId Connect (Google will provide OpenId 2.0 user
- # identifiers via the openid.realm parameter in the OAuth2 flow until 2017).
- google_openid_realm: <span class="userinput">false</span></code></pre></notextile>
-
-h3(#ldap). LDAP authentication
-
-LDAP authentication can be configured with these options. Make sure to preserve the indentation of the fields beyond @use_ldap@.
-
-<pre>
- # Enable LDAP support.
- #
- # If you want to use LDAP, you need to provide
- # the following set of fields under the use_ldap key.
- #
- # use_ldap: false
- # title: Example LDAP
- # host: ldap.example.com
- # port: 636
- # method: ssl
- # base: "ou=Users, dc=example, dc=com"
- # uid: uid
- # email_domain: example.com
- # #bind_dn: "some_user"
- # #password: "some_password"
- use_ldap: false
-</pre>
+Authentication methods are configured in @application.yml@. Currently three authentication methods are supported: local accounts, LDAP, and Google. If neither Google nor LDAP are enabled, the SSO server defaults to local user accounts. Only one authentication mechanism should be in use at a time. Choose your authentication method and add the listed configuration items to the @production@ section.
-h3(#local_accounts). Local account authentication
+h4(#local_accounts). Local account authentication
-If neither Google OAuth2 nor LDAP are enabled, the SSO server automatically
-falls back to local accounts. There are two configuration options for local
-accounts:
+There are two configuration options for local accounts:
<pre>
# If true, allow new creation of new accounts in the SSO server's internal
allow_account_registration: false
# If true, send an email confirmation before activating new accounts in the
- # SSO server's internal user database.
+ # SSO server's internal user database (otherwise users are activated immediately.)
require_email_confirmation: false
</pre>
-You can also create local accounts on the SSO server from the rails console:
+For more information about configuring backend support for sending email (required to send email confirmations) see "Configuring Action Mailer":http://guides.rubyonrails.org/configuring.html#configuring-action-mailer
+
+If @allow_account_registration@ is false, you may manually create local accounts on the SSO server from the Rails console. {% include 'install_rails_command' %}
+
+Enter the following commands at the console.
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~/sso-devise-omniauth-provider$ <span class="userinput">RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails console</span>
-:001 > <span class="userinput">user = User.new(:email => "test@example.com")</span>
+<pre><code>:001 > <span class="userinput">user = User.new(:email => "test@example.com")</span>
:002 > <span class="userinput">user.password = "passw0rd"</span>
:003 > <span class="userinput">user.save!</span>
:004 > <span class="userinput">quit</span>
</code></pre>
</notextile>
-h2. Set up the database
+h4(#ldap). LDAP authentication
-Generate a new database password. Nobody ever needs to memorize it or type it, so make a strong one:
+The following options are available to configure LDAP authentication. Note that you must preserve the indentation of the fields listed under @use_ldap@.

+h4(#google). Google authentication
+
+First, visit "Setting up Google auth.":google-auth.html
-Configure SSO server to connect to your database by creating and updating @config/database.yml@. Replace the @xxxxxxxx@ database password placeholders with the new password you generated above.
+Next, copy the values of *Client ID* and *Client secret* from the Google Developers Console into the Google section of @config/application.yml@, like this:
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~/sso-devise-omniauth-provider$ <span class="userinput">cp -i config/database.yml.sample config/database.yml</span>
-~/sso-devise-omniauth-provider$ <span class="userinput">edit config/database.yml</span>

+<pre><code> # Google API tokens required for OAuth2 login.
+ google_oauth2_client_id: <span class="userinput">"---YOUR---CLIENT---ID---HERE--"-</span>
+ google_oauth2_client_secret: <span class="userinput">"---YOUR---CLIENT---SECRET---HERE--"-</span></code></pre></notextile>
+
+h2(#update-nginx). Update nginx configuration
-Create and initialize the database. If you are planning a production system, choose the @production@ rails environment, otherwise use @development@.
+Use a text editor to create a new file @/etc/nginx/conf.d/arvados-sso.conf@ with the following configuration. Options that need attention are marked in <span class="userinput">red</span>.
<notextile>
-<pre><code>~/sso-devise-omniauth-provider$ <span class="userinput">RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:setup</span>
-</code></pre></notextile>
+<pre><code>server {
+ listen <span class="userinput">auth.ClusterID.example.com</span>:443 ssl;
+ server_name <span class="userinput">auth.ClusterID.example.com</span>;
-Alternatively, if the database user you intend to use for the SSO server is not allowed to create new databases, you can create the database first and then populate it with rake. Be sure to adjust the database name if you are using the @development@ environment. This sequence of commands is functionally equivalent to the rake db:setup command above:
+ ssl on;
+ ssl_certificate <span class="userinput">/YOUR/PATH/TO/cert.pem</span>;
+ ssl_certificate_key <span class="userinput">/YOUR/PATH/TO/cert.key</span>;

-h2. Start the SSO server
+h2(#restart-api). Restart the API server and controller
-h3. Run a simple standalone server
-
-You can use the Webrick server that is bundled with Ruby to quickly verify that your installation is functioning:
+After adding the SSO server to the Services section, make sure the cluster config file is up to date on the API server host, and restart the API server and controller processes to ensure the changes are applied.

-<pre><code>~/sso-devise-omniauth-provider$ <span class="userinput">RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails server</span>
+<pre><code># <span class="userinput">systemctl restart nginx arvados-controller</span>
</code></pre>
</notextile>
-
-h3. Production environment
-
-As a Ruby on Rails application, the SSO server should be compatible with any Ruby application server that supports Rack applications. We recommend "Passenger":https://www.phusionpassenger.com/ to run the SSO server in production.
