Tunnistamo

Set up with Docker

1. Create a local_settings.py file in the project folder:

   • use the local_settings.py.docker.template
   • set DEBUG the way you need it

2. Run docker-compose up

3. Run migrations if needed:

   • docker exec tunnistamo-backend python manage.py migrate

4. Create superuser if needed:

   • docker exec -it tunnistamo-backend python manage.py createsuperuser

5. Create RSA keys:

   • docker exec -it tunnistamo-backend python manage.py manage_openid_keys
   • In order to automatically rotate the server RSA key at set intervals this command should be added to cron.daily

6. Run the server:

   • docker exec tunnistamo-backend python manage.py runserver 0:8000

The project is now running at localhost:8000

Set up w/o Docker

Prerequisites

Tunnistamo runs on postresql. Install the server on Debian based systems with:

apt install postgresql

Then create a postgres user and db as root:

createuser <your username>
createdb -O <your username> tunnistamo

Installing

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/City-of-Helsinki/tunnistamo.git
cd tunnistamo

Initiate a virtualenv and install the Python requirements:

pyenv virtualenv 3.6.2 tunnistamo-env
pyenv local tunnistamo-env
pip install -r requirements.txt

You may choose some other Python version to install but currently Tunnistamo requires Python 3.

Create local_settings.py in the repo base dir containing the following line:

DEBUG = True

In case you want to modify the default database configurations, you may also modify them in the same file by adding these lines:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': 'custom_database',
        'USER': 'custom_user',
        'PASSWORD': 'your_password',
        'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
    }
}

Run migrations:

python manage.py migrate

Create admin user:

python manage.py createsuperuser

Create RSA keys:

python manage.py manage_openid_keys

In order to automatically rotate the server RSA key at set intervals the above command should be added to cron.daily.

Run dev server:

python manage.py runserver

and login to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ using the admin user credentials.

To access the themed views you also need to install npm and run npm install at the project root.

Developing

Outdated Python dependencies

Tunnistamo uses prequ – a fork of pip-tools – to manage the Python dependencies. prequ can handle -e style dependencies (git URLs) in the requirements files.

Update the requirements with:

pip install prequ
rm requirements.txt
prequ update

Configuring

Client IP obtaining

Tunnistamo uses django-ipware to obtain client ip addresses for user login history entries. By default, a client ip address is read from REMOTE_ADDR. If you need to use some HTTP header(s) instead, for instance when deploying Tunnistamo behind a reverse proxy, use setting IPWARE_META_PRECEDENCE_ORDER to set the header(s), for example:

IPWARE_META_PRECEDENCE_ORDER = ('HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR',)

Getting geo location data for IP addresses

In order to get geo location data for IP addresses, which is in included user login history entries if available, you'll need GeoLite2 City dataset in binary format from here. Unzip it to somewhere (inside this repo /data/ is the preferred place as that is in .gitignore), and add setting GEOIP_PATH pointing to that directory.

See Django docs for more info.

Rotating server RSA keys with Key Manager

For added security the server RSA keys, used to sign/encrypt ID tokens, should be rotated at regular intervals. This can be done automatically with the Django admin utility manage_openid_keys provided in the Key Manager module. This utility performs the following tasks:

1. If there are no server RSA keys one is created with KEY_MANAGER_RSA_KEY_LENGTH bits (default 4096).
2. If an RSA key is older than KEY_MANAGER_RSA_KEY_MAX_AGE days the key is expired and a new one is created.
   • This happens also for all existing keys not recognized by the Key Manager
3. If an RSA key has been expired over KEY_MANAGER_RSA_KEY_EXPIRATION_PERIOD days ago it is removed from the system.

This command should be run on production servers at regular intervals, e.g. once a day, using cron or similar tool.

See OIDC_provider docs for more information about server RSA keys.

Configuring Suomi.fi access levels

Suomi.fi authentication provider has dynamic scopes and claims based on access levels and attributes configured in a YAML file. The default YAML file, suomifi_fields.yaml, has configurations for suppea, keskilaaja and laaja access levels. The resulting OIDC scopes will be suomifi_suppea, suomifi_keskilaaja and suomifi_laaja, respectively. The claims these scopes provide are maps with the friendlyName of the Suomi.fi attribute as key and the value of that attribute as value.

The YAML file can be processed using command:

python manage.py populate_suomifi_attributes --load suomifi_fields.yaml
