Api

Routes

/api/me - Get user profile (require user or app token)

/api/ - Broadcast posting operation for user (require app token)

OAuth2

/api/oauth2/authorize - Issue new app token (require user token)

Tokens

Tokens are created with JWT, the payload is public. Here is how it look:

Token for user

{
  role: 'user',
  user: 'guest'
}

The token hash is saved on user localStorage once he login.

Token for application

{
  role: 'app',
  proxy: 'example',
  user: 'guest',
  scope: ['vote', 'comment']
}

The token hash is sent to the application once user authorize the application.

LINUX - INSTALL POSTGRESQL VIA APT-GET/YUM

[user@linux ~]$ sudo yum -y install postgresql94 postgresql94-server
[user@linux ~]$ sudo service postgresql94 initdb
# Use MD5 Authentication
[user@linux ~]$ sudo sed -i.bak -e 's/ident$/md5/' -e 's/peer$/md5/' /var/lib/pgsql94/data/pg_hba.conf
#start
[user@linux ~]$ sudo service postgresql94 start

or

./scripts/install_postgresql_yum.sh

or

./scripts/install_postgresql_apt-get.sh

depending on the package manager

OSX - INSTALL POSTGRESQL VIA BREW

user@osx:~$ brew install postgresql

START AS SERVICE OSX

user@osx:~$ brew services start postgresql

LINUX USING THE POSTGRESQL SHELL

you can then enter the postgresql shell via

// postgres : linux username , psql : linux cli program

OSX USING THE POSTGRESQL SHELL

user@osx:~$ psql postgres

FYI

/** 
 * I THINK IT'S STUPID THAT THE USER IS POSTGRES 
 * THE PACKAGES ARE CALLED POSTGRESQL
 * AND THE CLI IS PSQL
 * WUT o.O
 **/

OSX/LINUX create a psql user within psql, the one which will be running the sequelize command below

[user@linux weauth]$ whoami
user
[user@linux weauth]$ sudo -u postgres psql
psql (9.4.17)
Type "help" for help.

postgres=# CREATE ROLE user LOGIN;
CREATE ROLE
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE user;
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE auth;
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=# ALTER USER user WITH PASSWORD 'password';
ALTER USER

check the port in the PSQL Shell

LINUX

[user@linux weauth]$ sudo -u postgres psql

OSX

user@osx:~$ psql postgresql

then

[sudo] password for user: __________
psql (9.4.17)
Type "help" for help.

postgres=# SHOW port;
 port
------
 5432
(1 row)

postgres=# _

let's figure out our database url!

there's a few formats

postgresql://
postgresql://localhost
postgresql://localhost:5432
postgresql://localhost/mydb
postgresql://user@localhost
postgresql://user:secret@localhost
postgresql://other@localhost/otherdb?connect_timeout=10&application_name=myapp
postgresql://localhost/mydb?user=other&password=secret

we're going to use

postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/auth

just a precaution

an npm version of mysql needs to be installed, either mysql or mysql2, it's a dev dependancy but you may need to install it via

[user@linux ~]$ npm i -g mysql

or

[user@linux ~]$ npm i -g mysql2

install sequelize

[user@linux weauth]$ npm i -g sequelize-cli

We run sequelize in the root of our weauth repo to autogenerate some tables from json schema's The configuration is set in db/config/config.json and is used at db/model/index.js to initialize sequelize

MAKE SURE THAT POSTGRESQL DB "auth" OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO USE EXISTS FIRST

[user@linux weauth]$ sequelize db:migrate

HELPFUL POSTGRES KNOWLEDGE

\dg shows roles AKA users

user=# \dg
                             List of roles
 Role name |                   Attributes                   | Member of
-----------+------------------------------------------------+-----------
 user      | Create DB                                      | {}
 postgres  | Superuser, Create role, Create DB, Replication | {}

add attributes to role

user=# ALTER ROLE user WITH SUPERUSER CREATEROLE REPLICATION;
ALTER ROLE
user=# \dg
                             List of roles
 Role name |                   Attributes                   | Member of
-----------+------------------------------------------------+-----------
 lopu      | Superuser, Create role, Create DB, Replication | {}
 postgres  | Superuser, Create role, Create DB, Replication | {}

user=# _

if you fall into authentication woes then you'll have to read about md5, trust, peer, ident authentication methods, ident is annoying, so we want md5, trust, or peer

TO RESTART POSTGRESQL

[user@linux weauth]$ /etc/init.d/postgresql reload

or

[user@linux weauth]$ ./scripts/repost.sh
