* README: rewrite with feature overview, comparison, and tiered quick start
Expands the README with a fuller feature description, a "why this over
the alternatives" comparison against Keycloak/Authentik/Authelia/Zitadel,
an architecture diagram, and a three-tier quick start (unified theta-env
stack, standalone Docker, bare metal) instead of the old OpenLDAP-setup-
first structure.
* docs/index.md: fix stale setup.env quickstart snippet (.env -> setup.env, CFG_DOMAIN)
* docs: cleanup for public release (fix stale/wrong API docs, LICENSE, versions)
Documentation cleanup ahead of the public release announcement. Fixes a set
of confirmed issues from a prior audit:
- LICENSE: fill in MIT template placeholders (theta42, 2026).
- README.md: fix broken API docs link (api.md -> API.md), correct required
Node.js version (13.x -> 20.x), add the missing app_sso_invite group to
the LDAP groups table, scrub hardcoded dc=theta42,dc=com to the generic
dc=example,dc=com used elsewhere, add a "Recommended: Docker or
install.sh" section pointing to DEPLOYMENT.md/docs before the manual
OpenLDAP walkthrough, and drop an emoji from a warning callout.
- nodejs/api.md: deleted — it was a stale/legacy doc with wrong routes,
wrong request bodies, and endpoints that are dead/commented-out code.
The root API.md is the accurate, current reference; README now links
there directly.
- API.md: add the missing app_sso_invite permission group, fix the
documented invite response to match the real {token, link, mail_sent}
payload, document the previously-undocumented GET/PUT/DELETE
/api/user/invite endpoints, add the real allowed_groups field to the
OAuth client management examples, and document POST /api/oauth/authorize
(the endpoint that actually issues the code after consent).
- nodejs/routes/auth.js + API.md: fix "emaill address" typo in the
password-reset response message (source and docs kept in sync).
- DEPLOYMENT.md: fix the top-level summary to mention Redis, matching
docs/deployment.md and the entrypoint behavior it already documents.
Flagged, not changed: tos.md reads like a personal home-lab acceptable-use
policy (Emby/Gitea/Proxmox/Discord/Signal, first-person "the admin") rather
than generic OSS docs. Left in place pending a manual decision to
genericize, relocate, or remove it.

* docs: genericize tos.md template, track runtime-editable terms in #39
Removes operator-specific references (Emby, Gitea, Proxmox, Discord,
Signal, first-person "the admin") so the shipped tos.md reads as a
neutral starting template rather than one operator's internal policy.
Actual runtime editability (admin/legal editing terms without a code
change) is tracked in issue #39, not implemented here.

The base DN (stack.ldapBaseDn) is the single place the domain is set; the
LDAP DNs (bindDN/userBase/groupBase) and oauth.issuer all derive from it and
must stay consistent. Drifting them apart (leaving bindDN at dc=example,dc=com
while ldapBaseDn is the real domain) makes the SSO bind against a non-existent
root DN and every login fails with Invalid Credentials.
- secrets.js.example: clarifying comment at ldapBaseDn
- DEPLOYMENT.md: "domain entered once as the base DN" note + theta-env
setup.env cross-link (merged the two duplicate theta-env blockquotes)
- README.md: cross-link to DEPLOYMENT.md from "Server set up"
Docs only; no app/secrets-structure change.

- api_tokens.ejs: created_on/last_used_on come back from Redis as strings
(model-redis only coerces fields with an explicit `type`), so `new Date(ms)`
yielded "Invalid date". Use `moment(ms, "x")` (the hosts.ejs/dns.ejs
precedent) which parses a numeric string-or-number as a Unix-ms timestamp.
- api_tokens.ejs: `isExpired` is a class getter not serialized to the client
JSON, so the "expired" badge never showed — compute expiry in the view via
`Date.now() > Number(expires_at)`. Also guard the `last_used_on: 0` / falsy
case (string "0" is truthy) so unset timestamps render "—" not "1970".
- middleware/auth.js: authIO did `checkToken(socket.handshake.auth.token || 0)`,
so any socket connect without a token (login page, pre-login) did an
`AuthToken.get(0)` lookup and logged a noisy `EntryNotFound` trace. Guard:
reject the socket with a generic 401 when there's no token (behavior-
preserving — unauth sockets were already rejected; just no Redis lookup / 404).

Personal access tokens so scripts/CI can call the management API without a
browser session. Each logged-in user mints their own token; it authenticates as
the creator (carries their LDAP group permissions, re-resolved live), so the
existing permission.byGroup checks apply unchanged.
- models/api_token.js: new ApiToken model (sso_<id>_<secret> format; id is the
lookup key, secret bcrypt-hashed + isPrivate, shown once). add()/rotate()/
authenticate(); optional expires_at; best-effort last_used_on. No _ttl
(persists; lifetime via expires_at).
- routes/api_token.js: self-service CRUD (list/get/update/delete/rotate),
owner-scoped (created_by === req.user.uid, 403 otherwise).
- middleware/auth.js + models/auth.js: accept `Authorization: Bearer sso_...`
(precedence over the auth-token session header); checkApiToken collapses
every failure to one generic 401 (no existence/secret/expiry leak).
- views/api_tokens.ejs + routes/index.js (GET /api-tokens): self-service page
(forceLogin, no group gate) — create (token shown once), edit, rotate, revoke.
- views/top.ejs: "API Tokens" nav entry visible to all logged-in users.
- public/js/app.js: app.apiToken client module.
- DEPLOYMENT.md + docs/deployment.md: API tokens section.

Lossless upgrades + config story for the all-in-one image.
Redis persistence (Part A):
- Replace in-memory `--save "" --appendonly no` with AOF + RDB persisted to /data
(--appendonly yes, periodic saves, --dbfilename dump.rdb). OAuth clients,
tokens, and other model-redis state now survive container recreation.
- Add the `sso-data` named volume -> /data in docker-compose.yml.
Config from ./config/sso-secrets.js (Part B):
- docker-entrypoint.sh: when /config/sso-secrets.js is mounted, symlink it to
/app/conf/secrets.js and read the server-side LDAP vars (base DN, admin pass,
org, domain, cert CN, JWT) from the file via one `node` call (base64-decoded,
no eval/quoting hazards). No app_* env is exported in this mode, so the file
is authoritative (@simpleworkjs/conf precedence: base < env < secrets.js <
app_* env). Falls back to the existing LDAP_* env-var mode when the file is
absent (standalone/bare-metal still works).
- docker-compose.yml: trim `environment:` to NODE_ENV/NODE_PORT only and add
`./config:/config:ro`. Removing the app_* env is required — any leftover
app_* would silently override secrets.js.
- secrets.js.example: add orchestrator-only `stack`, `bootstrap`, and
`serviceAccountPass` keys (ignored by the app; read by the entrypoint, the
theta-env bootstrap, and setup.sh).
Backup/restore docs:
- Full "Backups and restore" runbook in DEPLOYMENT.md (what lives where,
manual backup, full / Redis-only / LDAP-only restore, AOF-vs-RDB note,
upgrades). Restore uses slapadd -f (static slapd.conf), and RDB restore
requires deleting the AOF first (AOF wins on startup).
- Pointers in docs/deployment.md and docs/ldap.md; update the Docker Setup
section for the new ./config/ approach (env vars now advanced/optional).

The SSO app (nodejs/models/user_ldap.js addPosixAccount) tags every new user
with objectClasses [inetOrgPerson, sudoRole, ldapPublicKey, posixAccount, top,
theta42Person] and writes sudoHost/sudoCommand/sudoUser + sshPublicKey. The
all-in-one image's slapd.conf only included core/cosine/inetorgperson/nis +
theta42, so creating a user failed: sudoRole and ldapPublicKey were unknown
objectClasses (LDAP objectClassViolation 65) and sudoHost/sudoCommand/sudoUser
and sshPublicKey were unknown attributes.
Ship the two missing schemas and include them in slapd.conf:
- ops/schema/sudo.schema (sudoRole + sudo* attributes)
- ops/schema/openssh-lpk.schema (sshPublicKey + ldapPublicKey)
sudoRole is AUXILIARY here, not STRUCTURAL as in upstream sudo. The app
attaches sudoRole directly onto the user entry, which is already inetOrgPerson
(STRUCTURAL); two unrelated structural classes violate RFC 4512 and OpenLDAP
rejects with 65. AUXILIARY lets it coexist with inetOrgPerson — the app's
per-user-sudoers model. sudo's LDAP backend still finds entries via
(objectClass=sudoRole) regardless. ldapPublicKey is AUXILIARY as in upstream
openssh-lpk.
Also fix the build error from the previous theta42 schema PR: .dockerignore
excluded all of ops/, so 'COPY ops/schema/theta42.schema' failed at build
time ('not found' — file is git-tracked but stripped from the context). Re-
include ops/schema/*.schema with !exceptions, matching the existing
README.md/tos.md pattern.

The app (nodejs/models/user_ldap.js) adds objectClass theta42Person whenever a
user has a dateOfBirth, and lists it among every new user's objectClasses. But
the all-in-one image's static slapd.conf only included core/cosine/inetorgperson/
nis — never the project's own theta42 schema — so slapd rejects
objectClass: theta42Person with LDAP 0x15 (objectClass: value #0 invalid per
syntax). Symptom: PUT /api/user/<uid> (and user creation) failing.
ops/ldap-setup.sh loads this schema for bare-metal (as a cn=config LDIF); the
Docker image uses slapd.conf, so ship it as a .schema file and include it.
- ops/schema/theta42.schema: dateOfBirth attribute + theta42Person auxiliary
objectClass (same OIDs/definition as ldap-setup.sh section 5).
- Dockerfile.openldap: COPY it to /etc/openldap/schema/theta42.schema.
- docker-entrypoint.sh: include it in the generated slapd.conf (after nis).

Document how to get logs when running the all-in-one image: docker compose
logs for the app + slapd (both stdout/stderr, slapd runs -d 0), plus a direct
ldapsearch health check. Added to README.md, DEPLOYMENT.md (Method 1), and the
GitHub Pages docs/deployment.md.
