blurb: |
  The wallet is a system for managing secure data, authorization rules to
  retrieve or change that data, and audit rules for documenting actions
  taken on that data.  Objects of various types may be stored in the wallet
  or generated on request and retrieved by authorized users.  The wallet
  tracks ACLs, metadata, and trace information.  It is built on top of the
  remctl protocol and uses Kerberos GSS-API authentication.  One of the
  object types it supports is Kerberos keytabs, making it suitable as a
  user-accessible front-end to Kerberos kadmind with richer ACL and metadata
  operations.

description: |
  The wallet is a client/server system using a central server with a
  supporting database and a stand-alone client that can be widely
  distributed to users.  The server runs on a secure host with access to a
  local database; tracks object metadata such as ACLs, attributes, history,
  expiration, and ownership; and has the necessary access privileges to
  create wallet-managed objects in external systems (such as Kerberos
  service principals).  The client uses the remctl protocol to send commands
  to the server, store and retrieve objects, and query object metadata.  The
  same client can be used for both regular user operations and wallet
  administrative actions.

  All wallet actions are controlled by a fine-grained set of ACLs.  Each
  object has an owner ACL and optional get, store, show, destroy, and flags
  ACLs that control more specific actions.  A global administrative ACL
  controls access to administrative actions.  An ACL consists of zero or
  more entries, each of which is a generic scheme and identifier pair,
  allowing the ACL system to be extended to use any existing authorization
  infrastructure.  Supported ACL types include Kerberos principal names,
  regexes matching Kerberos principal names, and LDAP attribute checks.

  Currently, the object types supported are simple files, passwords,
  Kerberos keytabs, WebAuth keyrings, and Duo integrations.  By default,
  whenever a Kerberos keytab object is retrieved from the wallet, the key is
  changed in the Kerberos KDC and the wallet returns a keytab for the new
  key.  However, a keytab object can also be configured to preserve the
  existing keys when retrieved.  Included in the wallet distribution is a
  script that can be run via remctl on an MIT Kerberos KDC to extract the
  existing key for a principal, and the wallet system will use that
  interface to retrieve the current key if the unchanging flag is set on a
  Kerberos keytab object for MIT Kerberos.  (Heimdal doesn't require any
  special support.)

requirements: |
  The wallet client requires the C
  [remctl](https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/remctl/) client library and
  a Kerberos library.  It will build with either MIT Kerberos or Heimdal.

  The wallet server is written in Perl and requires Perl 5.8.0 or later plus
  the following Perl modules:

  * Date::Parse (part of the TimeDate distribution)
  * DBI
  * DBIx::Class
  * Module::Build
  * SQL::Translator

  You will also need a DBD Perl module for the database backend that you
  intend to use, and the DateTime::Format::* module corresponding to that
  DBD module (such as DateTime::Format::SQLite or DateTime::Format::PG).

  Currently, the server has only been tested against SQLite 3, MySQL 5, and
  PostgreSQL, and prebuilt SQL files (for database upgrades) are only
  provided for those servers.  It will probably not work fully with other
  database backends.  Porting is welcome.

  The wallet server is intended to be run under `remctld` and use `remctld`
  to do authentication.  It can be ported to any other front-end, but doing
  so will require writing a new version of `server/wallet-backend` that
  translates the actions in that protocol into calls to the Wallet::Server
  Perl object.

  The keytab support in the wallet server supports Heimdal and MIT Kerberos
  KDCs and has experimental support for Active Directory.  The Heimdal
  support requires the Heimdal::Kadm5 Perl module.  The MIT Kerberos support
  requires the MIT Kerberos `kadmin` client program be installed.  The
  Active Directory support requires the Net::LDAP, Authen::SASL, and
  IPC::Run Perl modules and the `msktutil` client program.

  To support the unchanging flag on keytab objects with an MIT Kerberos KDC,
  the Net::Remctl Perl module (shipped with remctl) must be installed on the
  server and the `keytab-backend` script must be runnable via remctl on the
  KDC.  This script also requires an MIT Kerberos `kadmin.local` binary that
  supports the `-norandkey` option to `ktadd`.  This option is included in
  MIT Kerberos 1.7 and later.

  The WebAuth keyring object support in the wallet server requires the
  WebAuth Perl module from
  [WebAuth 4.4.0 or later](https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/webauth/).

  The Duo integration object support in the wallet server requires the
  [Net::Duo](https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/net-duo/), JSON, and
  Perl6::Slurp Perl modules.

  The password object support in the wallet server requires the
  Crypt::GeneratePassword Perl module.

  The LDAP attribute ACL verifier requires the Authen::SASL and Net::LDAP
  Perl modules.  This verifier only works with LDAP servers that support
  GSS-API binds.

  The NetDB ACL verifier (only of interest at sites using NetDB to manage
  DNS) requires the Net::Remctl Perl module.

sections:
  - title: Configuration
    body: |
      Before setting up the wallet server, review the Wallet::Config
      documentation (with man Wallet::Config or perldoc Wallet::Config).
      There are many customization options, some of which must be set.
      You may also need to create a Kerberos keytab for the keytab object
      backend and give it appropriate ACLs, and set up `keytab-backend`
      and its `remctld` configuration on your KDC if you want unchanging
      flag support.

      For the basic setup and configuration of the wallet server, see the
      file `docs/setup` in the source distribution.  You will need to set
      up a database on the server (unless you're using SQLite), initialize
      the database, install `remctld` and the wallet Perl modules, and set
      up `remctld` to run the `wallet-backend` program.

      The wallet client supports reading configuration settings from the
      system `krb5.conf` file.  For more information, see the
      CONFIGURATION section of the wallet client man page (`man wallet`).

test:
  lancaster: true

    The wallet comes with a comprehensive test suite, but it requires some
    configuration in order to test anything other than low-level utility
    functions.  To enable the full test suite, follow the instructions in:

    * `tests/config/README`
    * `perl/t/data/README`

    Now, you can run the test suite with:
  suffix: |
    The test suite requires `remctld` be installed and available in the user's
    path or in `/usr/local/sbin` or `/usr/sbin`; and that `sqlite3`, `kinit`,
    and either `kvno` or `kgetcred` be installed and available on the user's
    path.  The test suite will also need to be able to bind to 127.0.0.1 on
    ports 11119 and 14373 to test client/server network interactions.

    The test suite uses a SQLite database for server-side and end-to-end
    testing and therefore requires the DBD::SQLite and
    DateTime::Format::SQLite Perl modules.

    All of the requirements listed above will be required to run the full test
    suite of server functionality, but tests will be selectively skipped if
    their requirements aren't found.

    The following additional Perl modules will be used if present:

    * Test::MinimumVersion
    * Test::Pod
    * Test::Spelling
    * Test::Strict

    All are available on CPAN.  Those tests will be skipped if the modules are
    not available.
