Logmein

A remote login system for django. Control your "root" user in several projects in a single place, you can login with just 1 click.

You have to manage your "root" login over several projects? The aim of this project is provide a simple interface where you can centralize all your projects and connect with just one click.

Installing the client

• First clone Logmein project

$ git clone https://github.com/raphapassini/logmein.git
$ cd logmein/

• Active your project virtualenv, for example purposes i'll use django_project.
  I'm also considering that you're using virtualenvwrapper

$ workon django_project
$ cd /path/to/django_project

• Install logmein_app inside your project virtualenv

$ pip install logmein_app

• Inside the django_project alter the urls.py

import logmein_app

urlpatterns = patterns(
    '',
    [...suppressed code]
    url(r'^logmein/', include('logmein_app.urls')),
)

• Also alter the settings.py

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
    'logmein_app.views.LogmeinBackend',
)

• Now you're done with the client setup!

Installing the Logmein Admin

• Install the requirements

$ cd /path/to/logmein/folder/logmein_adm/
$ pip install -Mr requirements.txt

• Configure production settings in project/prod_settings.py

DEBUG = TEMPLATE_DEBUG = False

ADMINS = (
    # ('Admin User', 'admin@user.com'),
)

MANAGERS = ADMINS
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['http://mydomain.com']

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'logmein_adm',
        'USER': 'root',
        'PASSWORD': 'super_secret_password',
        'HOST': '',
        'PORT': '',
    }
}

MEDIA_ROOT = '/var/www/logmein_adm/media/'
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

STATIC_ROOT = '/var/www/logmein_adm/static/'
STATIC_URL = '/static/'

• Sync DB and migrate

$ python manage.py syncdb
$ python manage.py migrate --all

• Finish! Now you can run logmein_adm and start to insert your projects.
  If you're intent to use the logmein_adm locally you can start the server by typing

$ python manage.py runserver

IMPORTANT NOTES

• You'll need the secret off every remote client you want to connect to, the secret is stored in SECRET_KEY inside the settings.py

TODO

• Write tests to logmein_adm
• Think a better way to validate the token ( the token should be valid at max for 30secs )
