Janssen Project is open source digital identity platform. It provides OAuth Authorization Server and a certified OpenID Connect Provider. It is alternative to Keycloak.

## Jans Auth Server

A very complete Java OAuth Authorization Server and a certified OpenID Connect Provider.

### Installation

Install jans-auth-serverAUR

### Configuration

Jans supports several Database backends LDAP, Couchbase. PostgreSQL, MySQL and Spanner.

Edit `/etc/jans/conf/jans.properties` and set `persistence.type` accordingly.

To create configuration, execute:

    # /usr/share/jans/bin/generate_config.sh auth example.org:8080

#### LDAP

Best support is for OpenDJ but you might be able to use OpenLDAP aswell.

Update `jans-ldap.properties` with your LDAP settings.

    # sed -i "s|%(persistence_type)s|ldap|" /etc/jans/conf/jans.properties
    # sed -i "s|%(ldap_binddn)s|cn=Directory Manager|" /etc/jans/conf/jans-ldap.properties
    # sed -i "s|%(ldap_hostname)s:%(ldaps_port)s|127.0.0.1:1389|" /etc/jans/conf/jans-ldap.properties
    # sed -i "s|useSSL: true|useSSL: false|" /etc/jans/conf/jans-ldap.properties

    # sed -i "s|%(ldap_bind_encoded_pw)s|$(echo -n "YOUR_LDAP_PASSWORD_HERE" | openssl des-ede3-ecb -e -a -K $(cat "/etc/jans/conf/salt" | cut -d '=' -f 2 | xxd -p))|" /etc/jans/conf/jans-ldap.properties

Copy LDAP Schema

    # cp /usr/share/jans/schema-opendj/101-jans.ldif /var/lib/opendj/config/schema/

Load generated config in LDAP:

    #  opendj-ldapmodify -D "cn=Directory Manager" -p 1389 -w $PASSWORD /tmp/jansconfig/auth.ldif
