Description

PacketFence-pki is a light and simple pki.

Requirements

PacketFence-pki requires the following:

Django (>= 1.6) Django REST framework Django bootstrap3

Install

Djando debian package is available but you need to have django >= 1.6

If you distribution have Django 1.6 available, install it, if no then manually install it:

Install Pip, the Python package manager.

sudo apt-get install python-pip

Optionally, but recommended, upgrade pip, using itself:

sudo pip install -U pip

Install the latest stable version of Django:

sudo pip install Django

To install a specific version, add a requirement specifier like this:

sudo pip install Django==1.8.0

Install Django REST Framework

sudo pip install djangorestframework

Install Django bootstrap3

sudo pip install django-bootstrap3

Setup

Database

By default packetfence-pki will use the local sqlite database but you can use MySQL if needed. In order to do that edit the file settings.py and uncomment this:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'pfpki',
        'USER': 'pf',
        'PASSWORD': 'pf',
        'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
        'PORT': '',
    }
}

and comment this:

#DATABASES = {
#    'default': {
#        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
#        'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
#    }
#}

Next create the pfpki database:

mysql -u root -p -e "CREATE DATABASE pfpki'"
mysql -u root -p -e "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON pfpki.* TO 'pf'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'pf'"
mysql -u root -p -e "FLUSH PRIVILEGES"`

Then sync the db (in /usr/local/packetfence-pki):

python manage.py makemigration
python manage.py migrate
