Demo Installation

casibase uses Casdoor to manage members. So you need to create an organization and an application for casibase in a Casdoor instance.

Casdoor configuration

git clone https://github.com/casdoor/casdoor.git

refer to: https://casdoor.org/docs/basic/server-installation

Follow these steps to setup Casdoor for casibase:

• Create an Organization

• Configure information about the Organization

• Add a member to a newly created organization

• Configure member information (remember its Name as well as Password)

• Create a new Application

• Configuring Application Information (Remember Name, ClientID and ClientSecret. Change RedirectURLs to http://localhost:14000/callback)

casibase configuration

Get the code

git clone https://github.com/casbin/casibase.git

Setup database

casibase will store its users, nodes and topics informations in a MySQL database named: casibase, will create it if not existed. The DB connection string can be specified at: https://github.com/casbin/casibase/blob/master/conf/app.conf

dataSourceName = root:123@tcp(localhost:3306)/

Casnode uses XORM to connect to DB, so all DBs supported by XORM can also be used.

Custom config

• Backend (casibase\conf\app.conf)

  casdoorEndpoint =  <Your_Casdoor_endpoint>
  clientId = <Your_clientId_in_Casdoor_configuration>
  clientSecret = <Your_clientSecret_in_Casdoor_configuration>
  casdoorOrganization = "casibase"
  casdoorApplication = "app-casibase"
  

• Frontend (casibase\web\src\Conf.js)

  export const AuthConfig = {
    ......
    clientId: <Your_clientId_in_Casdoor_configuration>,
    ......
  };
