Configuring and Running P4OAuth
===============================

The current setup of P4OAuth is fairly manual:

1. Download the latest version here: <a href='https://bintray.com/tristanjuricek/maven/p4oauth/_latestVersion'><img src='https://api.bintray.com/packages/tristanjuricek/maven/p4oauth/images/download.png'></a>

    * Open the files tab
    * Download the `p4oauth-VERSION.jar` file

2. Put the binary in a "working folder"

3. Prepare a Java keystore file (see below for a self-signed mechanism)

4. Create a `P4OAuth.yml` configuration file (see below)

5. Create a `whitelist` configuration file (see below)

5. Launch P4OAuth: `java -jar p4oauth.jar P4OAuth.yml`


## Create A self-signed Java keystore file

Here's an example of using the `keytool` command that we currently use to prepare environments automatically:

    keytool -genkeypair -dname "cn=Developer, ou=Engineering, o=Perforce, c=US" \
        -alias business -keypass password -keystore keystore -storepass password \
        -validity 180

It's run in the working directly, and sets up a simple keystore with the key
and store passwords set to `password`.

For more information on `keytool` please see the [official documentation from Oracle](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/tools/unix/keytool.html).


## Create a P4OAuth.yml file

Here's an example P4OAuth.yml file used for testing:

    !com.perforce.workshop.tjuricek.p4oauth.config.P4OAuthConfig
    keyStorePath:         /Users/tjuricek/dev/workshop/p4oauth/functional_tests/build/keystore
    keyStorePassword:     password
    keyManagerPassword:   password
    hostname:             dhcp-141-n100.dhcp.perforce.com
    rootDirectory:        /Users/tjuricek/dev/workshop/p4oauth/functional_tests/build/p4oauth

    perforce: !com.perforce.workshop.tjuricek.p4oauth.config.PerforceConfig
        hostname: 127.0.0.1
        port: 1666

Please note that this is mapped pretty directly to the Java class [`P4OAuthConfig`](../javadoc/com/perforce/workshop/tjuricek/p4oauth/config/P4OAuthConfig.html). Please refer to the javaDoc for more details.


## Create the whitelist configuration file

Here's another example file used for testing:

    servers:
      - !com.perforce.workshop.tjuricek.p4oauth.models.WhitelistedServer
        name: test_server
        redirectUri: https://dhcp-141-n100.dhcp.perforce.com:8444/handle
        ipAddress: 127.0.0.1

Please note this is also mapped to a single Java class [`Whitelist`](../javadoc/com/perforce/workshop/tjuricek/p4oauth/models/Whitelist.html). Please refer to the javadoc for more details.
