Overview

The RP (Relying Party) component is representative of an external consumer of the Inacademia service. It is an OIDC client that communicates with the OP component.

The Dockerfile is the basis for the docker to be build. The build_rp.sh and run_rp.sh scripts will build and run the docker image respectively. The run_rp.sh script will test if the image exists, and if not, try to build it before running it.

In the config directory 2 subdirectories exist.

• app directory files are copied into the contained just before the ansible deploy script is run. starts.sh is what configures and runs pound on the fly at start opf the container
• config has only one subdirectory, etc, which gets copied into the etc directly of the docker
  • the pound directory holds the pound config file
  • the ssl directory holds the https certificated and a server.pem file which concatenates both certificate and key (and if needed intermediate cert) as pound wants all certs in 1 file.

Docker file

The docker file is completely self contained, so it will build the OP based on the condig and by pulling relevant repositories if needed

Now run the run script to build and run our docker based RP

Using the RP

Assuming your deploy went without errors, you can now run the OP. It should now have available trough: https://op.inacademia.local/
