A quick python implementation of WebID authentication. More details about WebID here.
You can install the server into /var/www/pyWebIDauth. If you want to change the location, then you need to remember to modify the wsgi script (webid.wsgi) to reflect the new path.
Once the server is up and running, you can go to https://localhost/auth to test the authentication script.
- mod_wsgi (Apache)
- bottle.py (the REST server)
- rdflib (RDF parsing)
- rdfextras (RDF utilities)
rdflib and rdfextras may be installed with setuptools (easy_install) or pip:
$ easy_install rdflib
or
$ pip install rdflib
The reason why Apache is required is to expose the certificate contents to the Web application. Here is a typical Apache configuration:
<VirtualHost *>
ServerName py.example.com
# ssl.conf contains your server's SSL certificates
Include /var/www/conf/ssl.conf
WSGIDaemonProcess test user=www-data group=www-data processes=1 threads=5
WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/pyWebIDauth/webid.wsgi
<Directory /var/www/pyWebIDauth>
WSGIProcessGroup test
WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
