- Be more explicit with exact instructions to startup
- Change some of the commands that were using local directory with "./" when
the executable was in a lower directory. These
commands (like "./bin/dex-worker") did not work on ZSH or Bash, so I
removed the leading "./"
- Add some syntax highlighting markdown to code sections

# Running Examples
|
|
|
|
The quickest way to start experimenting with dex is to run a single dex-worker locally, with an in-process database, and then interact with it using the example programs in this directory.
|
|
|
|
## Build Everything and Start dex-worker
|
|
|
|
First, build the example webapp client and example CLI client.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
./build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now copy the example configurations into place to get dex configured.
|
|
You can customize these later but the defaults should work fine.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
cp static/fixtures/connectors.json.sample static/fixtures/connectors.json
|
|
cp static/fixtures/users.json.sample static/fixtures/users.json
|
|
cp static/fixtures/emailer.json.sample static/fixtures/emailer.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With `dex-worker` configuration in place we can start dex in local mode.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
./bin/dex-worker --no-db &
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example Webapp Client
|
|
|
|
Build and run the example app webserver by pointing the discovery URL to local Dex, and
|
|
supplying the client information from `./static/fixtures/clients.json` into the flags.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
./bin/example-app \
|
|
--client-id=example-app \
|
|
--client-secret=example-app-secret \
|
|
--discovery=http://127.0.0.1:5556
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Visit [http://localhost:5555](http://localhost:5555) in your browser and click "login" link.
|
|
Next click "Login with Email" and enter the sample credentials from `static/fixtures/connectors.json`:
|
|
|
|
* email: `elroy77@example.com`
|
|
* password: `bones`
|
|
|
|
The example app will dump out details of the JWT issued by Dex which means that authentication was successful and the application has authenticated you as a valid user.
|
|
You can play with adding additional users in connectors.json and users.json.
|
|
|
|
## Example CLI Client
|
|
|
|
The example CLI will start, connect to the Dex instance to gather discovery information, listen on `localhost:8000`, and then acquire a client credentials JWT and print it out.
|
|
|
|
```console
|
|
./bin/example-cli \
|
|
--client-id example-cli
|
|
--client-secret examplie-cli-secret
|
|
--discovery=http://127.0.0.1:5556
|
|
```
