Issues

• Please report issues on YunoHost bugtracker.

Requirements

• Nginx-extras from Debian wheezy-backports
• lua-json
• lua-ldap
• lua-filesystem
• lua-socket
• lua-rex-pcre

OR

• Nginx "Openresty" flavored : http://openresty.org/
• lua-ldap
• lua-filesystem
• lua-socket
• lua-rex-pcre

Installation

• Fetch the repository

git clone https://github.com/YunoHost/SSOwat /etc/ssowat

Nginx configuration

• Add SSOwat's Nginx configuration (http{} scope)

nano /etc/nginx/conf.d/ssowat.conf

lua_shared_dict cache 10m;
init_by_lua_file   /etc/ssowat/init.lua;
access_by_lua_file /etc/ssowat/access.lua;

You can also put the access_by_lua_file directive in a server{} scope if you want to protect only a vhost.

SSOwat configuration

mv /etc/ssowat/conf.json.example /etc/ssowat/conf.json
nano /etc/ssowat/conf.json

If you use YunoHost, you may want to edit the /etc/ssowat/conf.json.persistent file, since the /etc/ssowat/conf.json will often be overwritten.
