LEAP Web
---------------------
"LEAP Web" is the web-based component of the LEAP Platform, providing
the following services:
* REST API for user registration.
* Admin interface to manage users.
* Client certificate distribution and renewal.
* User support help tickets.
* Billing
This web application is written in Ruby on Rails 3, using CouchDB as the
backend data store.
Original code specific to this web application is licensed under the GNU
Affero General Public License (version 3.0 or higher). See
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl-3.0.html for more information.
Documentation
---------------------------
For more information, see these files in the ``doc`` directory:
* DEPLOY -- for notes on deployment.
* DEVELOP -- for developer notes.
* CUSTOM -- how to customize.
Known problems
---------------------------
* Client certificates are generated without a CSR. The problem is that
this makes the web application extremely vulnerable to denial of
service attacks. This is not an issue unless the provider enables the
possibility of anonymously fetching a client certificate without
authenticating first.
* By its very nature, the user database is vulnerable to enumeration
attacks. These are very hard to prevent, because our protocol is
designed to allow query of a user database via proxy in order to
provide network perspective.
Installation
---------------------------
Typically, this application is installed automatically as part of the
LEAP Platform. To install it manually for testing or development, follow
these instructions:
### Install system requirements
sudo apt-get install git ruby1.9.3 rubygems couchdb bundler
### Download source
git clone --recursive git://leap.se/leap_web
### Install required ruby libraries
cd leap_web
bundle --binstubs
Typically, you run ``bundle`` as a normal user and it will ask you for a
sudo password when it is time to install the required gems. If you don't
have sudo, run ``bundle`` as root.
Configuration
----------------------------
The configuration file `config/defaults.yml` providers good defaults for
most values. You can override these defaults by creating a file
`config/config.yml`.
There are a few values you should make sure to modify:
production:
admins: ["myusername","otherusername"]
domain: example.net
force_ssl: true
secret_token: "4be2f60fafaf615bd4a13b96bfccf2c2c905898dad34"
client_ca_key: "./test/files/ca.key"
client_ca_cert: "./test/files/ca.key"
ca_key_password: nil
* `admins` is an array of usernames that are granted special admin
privilege.
* `domain` is your fully qualified domain name.
* `force_ssl`, if set to true, will require secure cookies and turn on
HSTS. Don't do this if you are using a self-signed server certificate.
* `secret_token`, used for cookie security, you can create one with
`rake secret`. Should be at least 30 characters.
* `client_ca_key`, the private key of the CA used to generate client
certificates.
* `client_ca_cert`, the public certificate the CA used to generate client
certificates.
* `ca_key_password`, used to unlock the client_ca_key, if needed.
Running
-----------------------------
To run leap_web:
cd leap_web
bin/rake db:rotate
bin/rake db:migrate
bin/rails server
Then open http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
When running in development mode, you can login with administrative
powers by creating an account with username 'staff', 'blue', or 'red'
(configured in config/default.yml).
To peruse the database, visit http://localhost:5984/_utils/
The task `db:rotate` must come before `db:migrate`, in order to assure that
the special rotating databases get created.
Do not run the normal CouchRest task 'couchrest:migrate'. Instead, use
'db:rotate' since the latter will correctly use the couchdb.admin.yml file.
Testing
--------------------------------
To run all tests
bin/rake RAILS_ENV=test db:rotate # if not already run
bin/rake RAILS_ENV=test db:migrate # if not already run
bin/rake test
To run an individual test:
rake test TEST=certs/test/unit/client_certificate_test.rb
or
ruby -Itest certs/test/unit/client_certificate_test.rb
