Document configuration of authentification #82

Closed nichtich closed 4 years ago

nichtich commented 4 years ago

README mentions "authentication server" and "identity provider" but does not clearly document what's needed to set up authentification either via https://github.com/gbv/login-server or without.

stefandesu commented 4 years ago

Yeah, you're right, it needs to be documented a little bit better. I'm not sure what you mean by authentication without login-server. Currently, only authentication via login-server is supported.

nichtich commented 4 years ago

Ok, for simple setup in an intranet authentication can be disabled. We may also provide a simple http auth mechanism to not require login-server when working with a single instance of jskos-server. -- Jakob Voß via Android

simple http auth mechanism

That was basically our first implementation for authentication, do you remember? I'm not sure if it's a good idea to bring this back to be honest. Would that imply bringing it back to Cocoda as well, or would that just be a way to write mappings into a jskos-server instance via a script for example?

stefandesu commented 4 years ago

This is even more relevant now that we want to implement #94.

stefandesu commented 4 years ago

I added some documentation here. @nichtich Please take a look and adjust or give feedback.

stefandesu commented 4 years ago

Will be continued in #103 if necessary.
