Bootstrapping

In order to be able to create users, groups and policies you have to be authenticated. The bootstrap process allows the administrator to create a first user with the necessary rights to be able to add other users.

Preparing wazo-auth to be bootstrapped

To be able to bootstrap wazo-auth, you will have to enable the init plugin and create a key file in wazo-auth's HOME directory. This can be done using the wazo-auth-bootstrap command.

wazo-auth-bootstrap setup && systemctl restart wazo-auth

Bootstrapping wazo-auth

Once wazo-auth is ready to be bootstrapped, calling the init resource with a username, password and the content of the key file will create a new user. The username and password can then be used to create a token with the auth.# acl. This can be done using the wazo-auth-bootstrap command.

wazo-auth-bootstrap complete

This script will create a configuration file named /root/.config/wazo-auth-cli/050-credentials.yml containing all necessary information to be used from the wazo-auth-cli.
