VinylDNS Portal

Supplies a UI for and offers authentication into VinylDNS.

Running Unit Tests

First, startup sbt: build/sbt.sh.

Next, you can run all tests by simply running test, or you can run an individual test by running test-only *MySpec

Running Frontend Tests

The front end tests can be run from the test/portal/fuctional directory by simply running make.

Building Locally

  1. You must have npm, if you don't have npm, follow instructions here https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm.
  2. Run npm install to install all dependencies, this includes those needed for testing. If you just want to run the portal then npm install --production would suffice
  3. You must have grunt, if you don't have grunt, run npm install -g grunt. Then run grunt default from the root of the portal project
  4. Create a local.conf file in the portal conf folder for your settings if desired.
  5. Follow the instructions for building vinyl locally on the vinyl readme
  6. Start vinyl with sbt run. Vinyl will start on localhost on port 9000.
  7. Run the portal with sbt -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore="./private/trustStore.jks" -Dhttp.port=8080 run
  8. In a web browser go to localhost:9001

Working locally

Often times as a developer you want to work with the portal locally in a "real" setting against your own LDAP server. If your LDAP server requires SSL certs, you will need to create a trust store (or register the SSL certs on your local machine). If you create a trust store, you will need to make the trust store available so that you can start the portal locally and test.

  1. Create a trust store and save your certs.
  2. Pass the trust store in when you start sbt. This can be on the command line like... sbt -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore="./private/trustStore.jks"

Updating the trustStore Certificates

When some event causes the LDAP lookup to fail because of SSL certificate issues, follow the following steps to update the trustStore with the new certificates.

  • Get the new certificate with openssl s_client -connect <ldap server>:<port>. This will display the certificate on the screen.
  • Copy everything from -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- to -----END CERTIFICATE----- including the begin and end markers to the clipboard.
  • Open a new file in your favorite text editor
  • Paste the clipboard contents into the file
  • Save the file and give it a name to be used in the next steps. (ex. new-ad-ssl-cert.pem)
  • keytool -printcert -file <your file name> to view the file and check for errors
  • keytool -importcert -file <your file name> -keystore trustStore.jks -alias <alias for this cert> (ex. new-ad-cert)
  • Enter the trustStore password when prompted (look in application.conf)
  • Answer yes to trust the certificate

The trustStore is now updated with the new certificate. You can delete the certificate file it is no longer needed.
