The Oauth Daemon is the open source version of the OAuth.io core. This is a background api server that runs on your own server that allow your clients to authenticate to any 70+ available OAuth provider.

• A working redis database >= v2.4, check Redis quickstart for a properly installation
• nodejs >= v0.8.2
• npm >= v1.1
• needed packages for npm dependencies: python curl bash

Run the redis server if it's not running yet.

(sudo) npm install -g forever oauthd
oauthd config
oauthd start

You can use oauthd [start|stop|status|startsync|config] to manage your daemon.

(sudo) npm install -g coffee-script grunt-cli forever
git clone git://github.com/oauth-io/oauthd.git

In the cloned project dir, issue:

npm install

npm will install dependencies listed in package.json and compile coffee files.

If you have a problem during npm install you may want to restart the compilation step by doing:

grunt

To start or stop oauthd, just use npm [start|stop] in the oauthd folder.

If you want to start oauthd in debug mode, you can also use grunt server

This will launch nodemon and watch/recompile modified files.

You may configure config.js in oauthd folder, to configure your ports, connection with redis, enable ssl etc. You can also write a config.local.js file that will overwrite existing fields of config.js.

By default, you can access it by http://localhost:6284/admin.

Then the admin interface is available to your url / port set into config.js, at /admin.

The first time you connect, the given login & pass will be registered as the admin user. If you lose it, you can reset the login with node ./tools/login_reset.js in the oauthd folder.

Then you can include the generated js sdk from oauthd to use it on your sites. By example for a local test: <script src="http://localhost:6284/download/latest/oauth.js"></script>
