Python environment

Make a virtual python environment.

Code Block
$ virtualenv norduni_environment

Making a virtual environment is also just a suggestion but it makes it easier to keep your system clean.

Python requirements

Install required python modules.

Code Block
$ . norduni_environment/bin/activate
$ pip install -r norduni/requirements.txt

Django settings

Change the django settings.

Code Block
$ cd norduni/src/niweb/niweb/
$ cp generic_settings.py settings.py
$ vi settings.py

Change at least the database settings.

template1=# CREATE USER ni with PASSWORD 'secret';
template1=# CREATE DATABASE norduni;
template1=# GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE norduni to ni;
template1=# ALTER DATABASE norduni OWNER TO ni;				#  Allow user ni to drop and create for restoring
template1=# ALTER USER ni CREATEDB;							#  and development purposes
template1=# \q

NORDUni repository

$ pip install -r norduni/requirements/prod.txt

Django settings

Change the django settings.

Code Block
$ cd norduni/src/niweb/
$ cp dotenv .env
$ vi .env

The following settings need to be changed.

Code Block
REPORTS_TO=
DB_PASSWORD=
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL=
EMAIL_HOST=
SECRET_KEY=
Code Block
# Database settings
DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
        'NAME': 'norduni',
        'USER': 'postgres',
        'PASSWORD': 'secret',
        'HOST': 'localhost'
    }

Check if your settings are ok.

Code Block
$ python manage.py syncdb

apps.noclook
$ python manage.py migrate actstream
$ python manage.py migrate tastypie
$ python manage.py collectstatic

You then need to uncomment the lines in settings.py that imports and sets up djangosaml2. You also have to create a pysaml2 configuration.
All this is best described in the documentation at https://pypi.python.org/pypi/djangosaml2.

Local saml metadata

To speed up login you can use local metadata. This metadata still needs to be updated and verified, and for that you can use https://pypigithub.python.orgcom/pypi/djangosaml2.

NORDUnet/metadata-updater 

You need to configure djangosaml2 to use local metadata, and you will have to add the meta-dataupdater to cron, preferably by running crontab -e as the ni user. Once an hour is reasonable, once a day can be ok, once a week might be tiresome when the cert expires.

The consumer script should only be run once as it does not update the sites, only creates new.

The JSON file directory is then inserted in to the database using noclook_site_csv_consumer.py.

Change the path at the top of the script to be able to import norduni_client.py.

Then run:
