U2F to WebAuthn migration demonstration built in Rails

Primary LanguageRuby

WebAuthn Rails demo application

This demo is part of a blog post that describes how to migrate an application from Rails to WebAuthn.

While you'd be best served reading the blog post, the tl;dr is:

  1. Try out the app when it only supports U2F (see the tag u2f-only)
  2. Switch U2F signing to WebAuthn (see the tag sign-with-webauthn)
  3. Migrate the database to support distinguishing U2F vs WebAuthn (see the tag db-migration)
  4. Switch registration to WebAuthn only (see the tag full-webauthn)

Running the demo application

These instructions are good for any commit in this repo.

  1. Generate TLS certificates:

    mkcert -install
mkcert -cert-file config/tls/localhost.pem -key-file config/tls/localhost-key.pem localhost

  2. Run rake db:migrate

  3. Run rails s to start it!
