# Canaille
Canaille is a French word meaning *rascal*, and is pronounced approximatively **Can I?**,
as in *Can I access this data please?*. It is a simple OpenID Connect provider based upon OpenLDAP.
It aims to be very light, simple to install and simple to maintain. Its main features are :
- OAuth/OpenID Connect support;
- Authentication against a LDAP directory;
- No additional database required. Everything is stored in your OpenLDAP server;
- The code is easy to read and easy to edit in case you want to write a patch.
## Install
First you need to install the schemas into your LDAP server. There are several ways to achieve this:
### LDAP schemas
As of OpenLDAP 2.4, two configuration methods are available:
- The [deprecated](https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html) one, based on a configuration file (generally `/etc/ldap/slapd.conf`);
- The new one, based on a configuration directory (generally `/etc/ldap/slapd.d`).
Depending on the configuration method you use with your OpenLDAP installation, you need to chose how to add the canaille schemas:
#### Old fashion: Copy the schemas in your filesystem
```bash
test -d /etc/openldap/schema && sudo cp schema/* /etc/openldap/schema
test -d /etc/ldap/schema && sudo cp schema/* /etc/ldap/schema
sudo service slapd restart
```
#### New fashion: Use slapadd to add the schemas
```bash
sudo slapadd -n0 -l schema/*.ldif
sudo service slapd restart
```
### Web interface
Then you can deploy the code either by copying the git repository or installing the pip package:
```bash
pip install canaille
```
Finally you have to run the website in a WSGI server:
```bash
pip install gunicorn
gunicorn "canaille:create_app()"
```
## Recurrent jobs
You might want to clean up your database to avoid it growing too much. You can regularly delete
expired tokens and authorization codes with:
```
env CONFIG=/path/to/config.toml FASK_APP=canaille flask clean
```
## Contribute
Contributions are welcome!
To run the tests, you just need to run `tox`.
To try a development environment, you can run the docker image and then open https://127.0.0.1:5000
You can then connect with user *admin* and password *admin* to access an admin account, or user *user* and password *user* for a regular one.
```bash
cp canaille/conf/config.sample.toml canaille/conf/config.toml
cp canaille/conf/oauth-authorization-server.sample.json canaille/conf/oauth-authorization-server.json
cp canaille/conf/openid-configuration.sample.json canaille/conf/openid-configuration.json
docker-compose up
```
