mura-impersonate-nuxt

A package that allows a Mura super user to impersonate other Mura users.

Before you start

Create a Mura-Nuxt project by following the instructions at https://github.com/murasoftware/mura-nuxtjs-decoupled.git

Once you have your Mura-Nuxt implementation working, you can follow the below steps.

Getting started

Here's a video of me going through the below steps: https://www.loom.com/share/6b1ae4fccf474e12923a794961dac87f

1. Install mura-impersonate-nuxt into your nuxtjs directory

cd /path/to/nuxtjs
npm install --save mura-impersonate-nuxt

2. Download the tarball and extract it into your mura directory

cd /path/to/mura
tar xvzf /path/to/file/nuxtutils.tar

3. Adjust the CFMLServlet in your web.xml to include the custom API paths by adding this line: <url-pattern>/nuxtutils/index.cfm/*</url-pattern>:

<servlet-mapping>
	<servlet-name>CFMLServlet</servlet-name>
	<url-pattern>*.cfm</url-pattern>
	<url-pattern>*.cfml</url-pattern>
	<url-pattern>*.cfc</url-pattern>
	<url-pattern>/nuxtutils/index.cfm/*</url-pattern>
	<url-pattern>/index.cfm/*</url-pattern>
	<url-pattern>/index.cfc/*</url-pattern>
	<url-pattern>/index.cfml/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

4. In the mura service within your docker-compose.yml, load in the new nuxtutils directory and web.xml file:

volumes:
	#- ../../mura/core:/var/www/core
	- ./nuxtutils:/var/www/nuxtutils
	- ./web.xml:/usr/local/tomcat/conf/web.xml
	- mura_nuxtjs_decoupled_plugins:/var/www/plugins
	- mura_nuxtjs_decoupled_themes:/var/www/themes
	- mura_nuxtjs_decoupled_sites:/var/www/sites

5. Rebuild and restart your Docker containers:

docker-compose down
docker-compose up -d

6. Log in to Mura admin. In the site settings, create a new REST service called s2usertoken. Copy the generated "Basic ..." auth string for the basicAuthS2Token variable in the next step.

7. Create a env property in your nuxt.config.js file if you don't already have one. Add the following variables:

env: {
	rootpath: "http://localhost:8888",
	impersonateDomain: ".localhost",
	s2usertoken: "s2usertoken",
	basicAuthS2Token:
		"Basic ...authStringfromPreviousStep...",
}

8. In your nuxt.config.js add mura-impersonate-nuxt to the modules section:

modules: [
	"mura-impersonate-nuxt"
]

9. In your nuxtjs directory, create the pages/impersonate.vue page:

<template>
<div>
	<main role="main" class="container">
		<h1 class="mt-5">Impersonate a user</h1>
		<input v-model="targetUsername" type="text" />
		<p>Target: {{targetUsername}}</p>
		<button @click="$impersonateUser(targetUsername)">CLICK TO IMPERSONATE USER</button>
	</main>
</div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
	data() {
		return {
			targetUsername: "",
		}
	},
}
</script>

10. Start your Nuxt dev server

npm run dev

11. Login to Mura as a super user, then visit the /impersonate page and enter another user's username.
