Login microservice running on mu.semte.ch.
Add the following snippet to your docker-compose.yml
to include the login service in your project.
login:
image: semtech/mu-login-service:3.0.0
links:
- database:database
The triplestore used in the backend is linked to the login service container as database
.
Next, add the following rules in ./config/dispatcher/dispatcher.ex
to dispatch requests to the login service. E.g.
match "/sessions/*path", @any do
Proxy.forward conn, path, "http://login/sessions/"
end
The host login
in the forward URL reflects the name of the login service in the docker-compose.yml
file as defined above.
More information how to setup a mu.semte.ch project can be found in mu-project.

The following enviroment variables can be set on the login service:
- USERS_GRAPH : graph in which the person and account resources will be stored. E.g.
http://mu.semte.ch/graphs/users
. Defaults tohttp://mu.semte.ch/application
. - SESSIONS_GRAPH : graph in which the session resources will be stored. E.g.
http://mu.semte.ch/graphs/sessions
. Defaults tohttp://mu.semte.ch/application
. - MU_APPLICATION_SALT : strengthen the password hashing by configuring an application wide salt. This salt will be concatenated with a salt generated per user to hash the user passwords. By default the application wide salt is not set. If you configure this salt, make sure to configure the registration microservice with the same salt. Setting the salt makes account resources non-shareable with stacks containing a login-service configured with another salt.
This section describes the minimal required model for the login service. These models can be enriched with additional properties and/or relations.
The graphs is which the resources are stored, can be configured via environment variables.

On successful login with the newly created session in the response body:

"self": "sessions/current"
},

"type": "sessions",

- if session header is missing. The header should be automatically set by the identifier.
- if combination of nickname and password is incorrect.
- if account is inactive.
Log out the current user, i.e. remove the session associated with the current user's account.
On successful logout
If session header is missing or invalid. The header should be automatically set by the identifier.
Breaking changes:
-
Make responses JSON-API compliant by moving
relationships
intodata
object. It has become a child rather than a sibling.You may need to change
data.authenticated.relationships.account.data.id
in the frontend todata.authenticated.data.relationships.account.data.id
in order to consume the response data.
