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

Option 1: Add the schema into your filesystem

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

Option 2: Use slapadd

sudo slapadd -n0 -l schema/*.ldif

Web interface

Then you can deploy the code either by copying the git repository or installing the pip package:

pip install canaille

Finally you have to run the website in a WSGI server:

pip install gunicorn
gunicorn "canaille:create_app()"

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.
