auth.mayday.us

Please see https://github.com/MayOneUS/wiki/wiki/My-SuperPAC-design-doc

Getting started

First, make sure the service is configured. You'll need to run

cp config_NOCOMMIT_README config_NOCOMMIT.py

and then edit config_NOCOMMIT.py to contain some API keys and secrets.

This service must run over HTTPS on something that your computer's hostname resolution thinks is auth.mayday.us. This is because we are using secure cookies, which your browser requires pass over HTTPS for subdomains of mayday.us.

The easiest way to get an HTTPS server running is to run

docker pull jtolds/mayone-gae
docker run -t -i -v /path/to/your/checkout:/develop jtolds/mayone-gae /start.sh /develop

(start.sh runs dev_appserver.py for you and sets up stunnel to wrap HTTPS traffic)

Run docker ps to find the container id of your running instance, then find its IP address by running

docker inspect -f "{{.NetworkSettings.IPAddress}}" container_id

Finally, add the container's IP and auth.mayday.us to your /etc/hosts file.

Another sample app that uses auth.mayday.us is checked in under the example/ subdir. Setting it up to use HTTPS is similar.
