jonasp / erlang-webid

An easy to use authentication library which authenticates users based on their webid and a corresponding certificate.

WebID+TLS authentication library for Erlang

This library implements the WebID+TLS authentication protocol using the raptor bindings for Erlang.

warning

This software is at a very early alpha stage. The raptor bindings used are unfinished and might crash the ErlangVM.

build

1. get dependencies ./rebar get-deps
2. compile ./rebar compile

At the moment the example needs to be compiled manually and the certificates need to be in the correct place.

1. cd ebin
2. erlc ../examples/src/webid_example.erl
3. cp -r ../examples/certs .

usage

start and stop application as usual

application:start(webid).
application:stop(webid).

verify WebID aware certificates

{ok, Cert} = ssl:peercert(AcceptedSock),
DecodedCert = public_key:pkix_decode_cert(Cert, plain),
webid:verify(DecodedCert) -> {ok, WebID}
			              -> {error, eauthfailed}
