This software provides a simple Mozilla Persona primary (also called an authenticating party or an identity provider) based on an existing local IMAP server setup. Users use their IMAP login and password to authenticate themselves as the owner of their email address.
The primary is implemented as a set of simple CGI scripts.
This software assumes that email addresses can be resolved to user
names by way of /etc/aliases and that the user names provided
therein are identical to those accepted by your IMAP server for
purposes of authenticating. If no /etc/aliases file exists, the
IMAP server needs to accept the name part of an e-mail address as a
user name.
If this is not true for your setup, you will need to hack the source code.
The following CPAN modules need to be installed:
CGICGI::Fastcommon::senseCrypt::OpenSSL::RSACrypt::OpenSSL::BignumFile::SlurpJSONMIME::Base64Mail::ExpandAliasesMail::IMAPTalkModern::PerlTime::HiResLWP::Simple(for the setup process only)
In order to generate an RSA private key and download necessary
third-party components, run setup.pl.
setup.pl will also generate a browserid.json file and prompt you
to put it wherever your web server will be able to serve it as
/.well-known/browserid.
