Quick Start

Clone the repository with the --recursive option to automatically clone submodules:

git clone --recursive git@github.com:geosolutions-it/MapStore-C179.git

Install NodeJS, Maven and Java versions indicated here.

Start the development application locally:

npm install

Build / Develop

In order to run this project you need to setup some local environmental variables first.

Here is a list:

export LDAP_URL="ldap://this.will.not.work:389/dc=xxxxx,dc=xxxxx,dc=xxxxx"
export LDAP_USER_SEARCH_CATEGORY="LDAP_USER_SEARCH_CATEGORY"
export LDAP_GROUPS="LDAP_GROUPS"
export LDAP_GROUP_SEARCH_BASE="LDAP_GROUP_SEARCH_BASE"
export LDAP_ROLE_SEARCH_BASE="LDAP_ROLE_SEARCH_BASE"

or you can run the export script

source ./export.sh

We also added printing profile to the build of the backend, see command be:start

then you can simply run npm start or in two terminals have so you can better monitor logs of the two script running

npm run fe:start
npm run be:start

Testing ldap locally

A developer can test ldap connection to use the ldap-server available here.

The application need to be configured to match this mock ldap system. A future improvement can require less configuration.

Configuration

export.sh

export LDAP_URL="ldap://localhost:10389/dc=ldap,dc=example"
export LDAP_USER_SEARCH_CATEGORY="person"
export LDAP_GROUPS="LDAP_GROUPS"
export LDAP_GROUP_SEARCH_BASE="ou=Roles"
export LDAP_ROLE_SEARCH_BASE="ou=Roles"

Please remember to revert these changes before committing.

Run the application connected to the mock ldap server

To test ldap support:

download the jar here

Run 3 applications in 3 different command line terminals:

run java -jar ldap-server.jar to run the sample ldap server.
run source ./export.sh and then npm run be:start in the same command line to run the backend with the ldap profile
run npm run fe:start to run the frontend application locally.

If everything is up and running. You should be able to login as jduke with password theduke.
