Persona Bridge Development Setup

One Time Setup

cp server/config/local.json-dist server/config/local.json

Running the service

Issuer determines the hostname and the environmentPORT variable the port.

PORT=3030 npm start

The easiest way to develop, is to run a local browserid instance and SHIMMED_PRIMARIES:

You have to save the /.well-known/browserid to the file system:

curl http://localhost:3030/.well-known/browserid > /tmp/fxwellknown

And then start up browserid:

SHIMMED_PRIMARIES="dev.fxaccounts.mozilla.org|http://127.0.0.1:3030|/tmp/fxwellknown"  npm start

Now you can type foo@dev.fxaccounts.mozilla.org in the test dialog at http://127.0.0.1:10001/. No DNS or /etc/hosts hacks are needed.

Password is 'asdf'.

Configuration

The default idp server is http://idp.dev.lcip.org. To change this, edit config.json on your deployed instance.

{
  'fxaccount_url': 'http://your.idp.here.org'
}
