Can't run/install pia-back

[oleksandr-zh]

I install your product according to the wiki I have access to the web interface (successfully installed PIA). I use NGNX Completed all Install the Backend (PIA-BACK) steps. When I try to set up "Server URL Configuration", I have questions: I have three fields: Please, provide the address (URL) of the remote server: ClientID : Client SECRET : Wikipedia does not say anything about this (where to get "Client ID" and "Client SECRET" ?) Here is what I found: I ran the command as per https://github.com/LINCnil/pia-back/blob/master/README.md #############

configure App Set ENABLE_AUTHENTICATION=true inside your .env file

Enter the rails console with bin/rails c

Launch the command Doorkeeper::Application.create(name: "PIA", redirect_uri: "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob", scopes: ["read", "write"])

Find your UID and SECRET information Doorkeeper::Application.select(:uid, :secret).first

Use these credentials into your PIA application

Here is the result I got on my server: Doorkeeper::Application.select(:uid, :secret).first Doorkeeper::Application Load (0.3ms) SELECT "oauth_applications"."uid", "oauth_applications"."secret" FROM "oauth_applications" ORDER BY "oauth_applications"."id" ASC LIMIT $1 [["LIMIT", 1]] => #<Doorkeeper::Application:0x00007ff21557dca8 id: nil, uid: "PlhcHp-BlTThNMm12F8_Xn1waiiQ0J8S6GEzaoB_X-Q", secret: "[FILTERED]">

How do i get the secret? (secret: "[FILTERED]")

Tell me, do you have a more accurate manual on how to install this product?

Hello,

Indeed, you need to fill this "Server URL Configuration" form with 3 elements:

• Your Backend URL ;
• Your client ID ;
• And your client SECRET ; This way, your Frontend application will link correctly to your Backend application and it will activate the authentication mode.

I have updated the section you are talking about in the README: https://github.com/LINCnil/pia-back#configure-app

I agree it wasn't clear. Now you have a better example on how to get your Client ID and Client SECRET.

I hope it will help you complete your installation. Just let me know.

Thank kevin-atnos

But, i still have error:

What am I doing wrong ?

[oleksandr-zh]

Oh, sorry. I didn't start the server bin/rails s -b 172.17.15.13 -p 3000. Now i have the following question. How can I activate users?

[kevin-atnos]

Hello,

Now you should have created an admin account, following this: https://github.com/LINCnil/pia-back#create-admin-account

With this account, you can login, and then you will be able to create new users in the "Users" page.

Once you have created a new user with your admin account, this user will receive an email with an activation code (be sure to configure SMFTP adequately: https://github.com/LINCnil/pia-back#smtp-configuration).

Then this user should access your Front URL and configure the Back to enable the authentication mode, as you did here:

Once he is connected to your back and sees the authentication block, he should click on "activate account" and continue with the process (define a password, ...).

Once done, he will be able to login and start working on PIAs he has been affected to.

and this (console):

The user is created and permissions granted:

Helle @oleksandr-zh , what is your pia version and your pia-back version ?

Can you confirm ? ENABLE_AUTHENTICATION=true in your .env file ? When you have checked it, please make a CTRL + MAJ + R to reload you home page.

Hi @oleksandr-zh!

Thank you for joining us in a meeting, we are glad to have solved your issue :) I will close this issue but if you need any more help you can create another issue on Github here.

For anyone coming here: The issue was the missing ENABLE_AUTHENTICATION=true key missing in the .env file.

Regards,
