WAC Tests

Surface tests for CRUD and Websockets-pubsub functionality of a pod server

Note some tests are currently skipped due to https://github.com/solid/web-access-control-spec/issues/105.

Usage

In development

Start your server with a self-signed cert on port 443 of localhost (for node-solid-server, make sure to set ACL_CACHE_TIME=5) and run sh ./example.sh.

Against NSS

In one terminal window:

• cd to your checkout of solid/node-solid-server and npm install
• Generate a self-signed certificate with $ openssl req -outform PEM -keyform PEM -new -x509 -sha256 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout ../privkey.pem -days 365 -out ../fullchain.pem
• Install NSS with all the defaults by running ./bin/solid-test init
• Run this command when working with self-signed certificate export NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0
• Run NSS with ACL_CACHE_TIME=0 ./bin/solid-test start
• Open Https://localhost:8443 in your browser
• Click on Register and create an account for alice
• Set Username and password for new account in ./run-against-nss.sh configs In another window:
• cd to your checkout of solid/web-access-control-tests and npm install
• Run ./run-against-nss.sh

You can also cut-and-paste the lines from run-against-nss.sh into your bash shell, then you can more easily run tests interactively.

Against CSS

In one terminal window:

• check out the https://github.com/solid/community-server repo locally, and run npm ci; npm run build
• comment out line 16 of ./node_modules/@solid/access-token-verifier/dist/algorithm/verifySolidAccessTokenIssuer.js to work around a bug in NSS.
• ./bin/server.js -l debug

In another terminal window:

• check out this repo from https://github.com/solid/web-access-control-tests and run npm ci
• Run ./run-against-css.sh

You can also cut-and-paste the lines from run-against-css.sh into your bash shell, then you can more easily run tests interactively.

Against CSS with local NSS instance as the IDP

If you want to use your NSS on localhost instead of on solidcommunity.net, then:

• Run NSS on localhost, in multi-user mode so you can support both Alice and Bob
• You may need to set up alice.localhost in your /etc/hosts, but on Mac that is automatic.
• Browse to https://localhost:8443/ with Firefox and say you accept the self-signed cert (with Chrome the use of self-signed certs has become harder and harder recently)
• Set up a user, alice / 123, and edit ./fetch.js so that oidcIssuer = 'https://localhost:8443';, nssUsername = 'alice', and nssPassword = '123';.
• Run CSS with NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 ./bin/server.js -l debug.
• Run the fetch script with NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 as well, for instance:

  NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 node fetch.js http://localhost:3000/404.txt
