docs/directory.md existed but was orphaned: not in the /docs registry,
not linked anywhere. Now:
- registered as /docs/directory ("Directory & Inventory")
- help icon on the Directory page header links to it (same pattern as
users/groups/profile pages)
- linked from the docs site index feature list
- extended with the shared slug conventions (site_<name>, host_<hostname>),
the automatic registration story (theta-env stack seeding, ldap-client
Linux host enrollment), and the admin + read-only API surface (the
read-only graph routes live at /api/discovery, not /api/directory).

Linux hosts are a primary consumer of the directory — PAM/SSSD login,
LDAP-backed sudo rules (sudoRole), and SSH public keys (openssh-lpk) —
which is exactly what the custom schemas exist for. Describe LDAPS /
StartTLS consumers as "Linux hosts and LDAP-native apps" instead of
"legacy apps" across README, DEPLOYMENT, docs, and the Dockerfile.

The Sites & Replication page (added in the prior multi-master LDAP
release) 500'd on every load: views/sites.ejs included nonexistent
partials 'header'/'footer' instead of this app's actual 'top'/'bottom'.
Fixed to match every other view.
Also refreshed all README screenshots against the current UI and added
a new Sites & Replication screenshot.

Add conf.ldap.ldapsHost / conf.ldap.ldapsPort so the /integrations page
can advertise an internal-only LDAPS hostname separate from the public
OAuth issuer. This avoids forcing admins to port-forward 636 publicly.
- routes/index.js derives LDAPS URL from ldapsHost/ldapsPort with issuer fallback
- integrations.ejs adds a contextual help panel explaining TLS hostname
validation, the public-issuer default, and recommended internal-DNS /
Docker-internal alternatives
- conf/base.js, secrets.js.example, DEPLOYMENT.md, docs/configuration.md,
and docs/ldap.md document and expose the new options
- Add tests/integrations.test.js for default and custom ldapsHost behavior
- Bump version to 1.1.17
Co-authored-by: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
- New docs/concepts-{accounts,oauth-apps,api-tokens}.md -- plain-language
guides aimed at less technical readers, each linking onward to the
existing schema/protocol-level doc for anyone who wants that detail.
Card help links (Users, Groups, OAuth cards, My groups, Members of
<uid>'s group) now point here instead of straight at the technical
docs; the LDAP-protocol-wiring cards (raw connection details for
connecting a 3rd-party app) stay pointed at the technical ldap.md,
since that's genuinely the right depth for that task.
- The "New API Token" card had no help link at all -- added, pointing to
the new API Tokens doc.
- Fixed the in-app docs viewer rendering every docs/*.md page with a
garbled heading + stray <hr> at the top: Jekyll front matter (meant
only for the GitHub Pages build) was never stripped before being
handed to the markdown renderer. Also fixed: cross-doc links
(ldap.html, index.html, etc.) never resolved in-app, since this
viewer serves docs at /docs/<slug> with no .html suffix -- rewritten
to the correct in-app URL, same idea as the existing image-path fix.
Bumps to v1.1.12.

Every account gets a personal posixGroup at creation (its primary GID
holder) but there was no way to manage its memberUid list -- add
add/remove endpoints and a profile-page UI (admin-only), reusing the
userSelect widget already built for the manager field.
Bumps to v1.1.9.

Removes the LDAP bind-only service account type in favor of a single
Unix/POSIX account model, surfaced in a new Users > Service Accounts tab.
Adds a multi-valued `manager` field to every account (defaults to the
creator, editable, and grants edit rights on the accounts a person manages
without needing app_sso_admin). homeDirectory and loginShell are now
editable from the profile edit form.
Bumps to v1.1.7.

The GitHub Pages site used the generic jekyll-theme-cayman theme --
purple gradient hero, no site nav, no per-page SEO. Replaced with a
custom layout that mirrors the actual app UI: dark fixed navbar with
the theta42 logo, Bootstrap 5 + Font Awesome (same stack the app
uses), content in a card, dark footer matching bottom.ejs
(copyright, MIT license, GitHub, Changelog links).
- New cross-page nav (Home/Deployment/Configuration/OAuth/LDAP/
Changelog) -- there was previously no way to get from one docs
page to another except a single "Back to Home" link per page.
- SEO: jekyll-seo-tag + jekyll-sitemap (both GitHub-Pages-supported
plugins, no custom build needed) -- real per-page meta description,
Open Graph/Twitter card tags, canonical URLs, JSON-LD, sitemap.xml,
and a robots.txt referencing it. Added a real description to every
page's front matter (none existed before).
- Mobile: Bootstrap's responsive grid + collapsible navbar; the
screenshot pairs in index.md (inline width="49%" for a two-up
desktop layout) now stack to full-width below 576px instead of
squeezing illegibly small.
Verified with a real Jekyll build (jekyll/jekyll Docker image, no
Ruby available locally) + Playwright: desktop and mobile (375px)
screenshots of the home and deployment pages, mobile nav toggle
open/close, active-link highlighting per page, zero console/page
errors, and confirmed real SEO output (meta description, OG/Twitter
tags, canonical, JSON-LD, sitemap.xml, robots.txt) via curl against
the served site.
ops/backup.sh snapshots LDAP (slapcat), Redis (BGSAVE, dynamic RDB path
lookup), and ./config for standalone deployments, with retention. A
background service polls GitHub releases every 24h and surfaces an
admin-only banner in the UI when a newer version is published.
The Integrations page's Service Accounts (bind-only, organizationalRole)
don't cover the other real use case: an account something actually runs
as on a Linux host -- a media manager, a torrent client, Emby -- with a
real uidNumber/gidNumber that owns files, and a group other accounts
join for write access (e.g. a `stuff_manager` group granting write
rights to a media library). That needs a real posixAccount, which the
bind-only model can't be.
- New well-known group `app_sso_service_account`, seeded the same way as
app_sso_admin/app_sso_invite/app_sso_oauth_admin (docker-entrypoint.sh,
ops/ldap-setup.sh). Not a permission gate -- a marker.
- "Add new user" form gets a "This is a service account" checkbox: swaps
the person-shaped fields (first/last name, birthday, ToS agreement)
for a single account-name field, since none of those make sense for a
non-person account. On create, the route adds the user to
app_sso_service_account.
- User.listDetail() annotates each user with isServiceAccount (checked
against the marker group's member list once per call, not the memberof
overlay's reverse attribute -- not reliably returned by every LDAP
server this app might point at, confirmed against a real external
directory during testing). Users page shows a "service" badge.
- Notification broadcasts (filter_type=all/all_active) exclude service
accounts by default -- nobody reads mail as `stuff_manager`.
- Fixed a real, previously-unrelated bug this surfaced: addPosixAccount
unconditionally set `mail: data.mail` in the LDAP entry even when
undefined, and ldapts/slapd reject an attribute given an explicit
undefined value ("no values for attribute type") rather than treating
it as absent. This meant creating ANY user without an email already
failed outright -- not something a service account (which commonly has
no real mailbox) could route around. Made mail conditional, matching
how mobile/sshPublicKey/dob already work.
- docs/ldap.md now explains both kinds of service account side by side
and when to use which.
Verified end-to-end against a real external LDAP server (not a local
sandbox): created a service account with no email, confirmed it's
correctly flagged and excluded from broadcast recipient resolution,
confirmed a normal user is unaffected, confirmed the code degrades
gracefully if the marker group doesn't exist yet (pre-upgrade
deployments).

They'd already drifted apart in wording after a recent edit only landed
in one of them, and docs/deployment.md wasn't linked from anywhere
(index.md's marketing rewrite dropped the old doc-links list) --
orphaned and duplicate. Replace it with a short pointer to
DEPLOYMENT.md on GitHub as the single source of truth, matching the
index.md "full docs live in the repo" pattern.

It's mapped to the host by default for LAN/VPN direct-LDAP clients
(ldap-client hosts, apps with their own LDAP auth settings), not for
exposure through a router/firewall -- LDAP simple-bind has no rate
limiting the way the HTTP login endpoints do. Recommend a VPN for
remote direct-LDAP clients instead.

Adds a concrete "Connecting a 3rd-party app or container" section:
a bind-parameter reference table, a worked Gitea example, a generic
Docker LDAP_* env var pattern, and a pointer to theta42/ldap-client for
full host-level (SSH/sudo/PAM) integration as opposed to a single app.

- Rewrite docs/index.md as a short landing page (what it is, screenshots,
why this over the alternatives, features, a minimal "get it" snippet)
instead of a full documentation dump — full docs live in the repo
(README, docs/*.md) and are linked from here.
- Cross-link to Proxy and theta-env's own Pages sites.
- Screenshots are now clickable (open full size) on both the Pages site
and the README.
- Disable show_downloads in docs/_config.yml — the Cayman theme's
"Download .zip/.tar.gz" buttons are gone; "View on GitHub" (which links
back to the repo) is the only header link now.

Captured from a fresh theta-env install with demo data, via headless
Chrome + Playwright (scripted login, no manual UI interaction needed to
reproduce). Also adds a top-of-README Documentation link pointing at
GitHub Pages, matching theta42/proxy's README.

theta42/proxy fronts an arbitrary number of hosts behind SSO, each with its
own callback URL (https://<host>/__proxy_auth/callback) — proxy's own code
comment already assumed "a wildcard redirect URI covers all", but no
wildcard matching existed here, so every proxied host's callback had to be
registered on the shared OAuth client individually or /oauth/authorize
would reject it with InvalidRedirectURI.
Add `*` (one hostname label) / `**` (any number of labels) wildcard support
to redirect_uri matching, e.g. `https://**.example.com/__proxy_auth/callback`
now covers every host proxy fronts under example.com. Exact matches still
work exactly as before.

Reported: creating any user via the API failed with
{"name":"InvalidSyntaxError","message":"gidNumber: value #0 invalid per syntax Code: 0x15"}
Root cause: addPosixGroup() computes the next gidNumber as
`Math.max(...groups.map(i => i.gidNumber)) + 1`. theta-env's
bootstrap.js creates the first admin via raw ldapadd with a hardcoded
uidNumber/gidNumber (10000) directly on the user entry, but never
creates a matching posixGroup entry -- so on a theta-env-bootstrapped
directory there are zero posixGroup entries, `Math.max()` on an empty
array is `-Infinity` in JS (not 0), and `-Infinity + 1` stringifies to
"-Infinity" -- an invalid LDAP integer, rejected by the directory. This
broke every single user creation, not just this one.
Separately: the reporter's intended scheme is for organically-created
users to start at uidNumber/gidNumber 1500, distinct from the
bootstrap admin's reserved 10000. Fixing the crash with a bare "floor
of 1500" alone wouldn't achieve that, since addPosixAccount's own
Math.max() would still find the admin's posixAccount entry (uidNumber
10000, found via a different, correctly-indexed search) and allocate
10001 for the next user.
Added a shared nextPosixId(entries, key) helper: takes the highest
existing value strictly below conf.ldap.uidGidReservedFloor (default
9000) plus one, or conf.ldap.uidGidMin (default 1500) if there are no
such entries. Ids at/above the reserved floor -- like the bootstrap
admin's 10000 -- are ignored entirely when computing the next
available number, so real users always start at 1500 and grow upward
regardless of the admin's reserved id.
Verified against a real theta-env deployment end to end:
- Reproduced the exact reported crash on a fresh bootstrap
- After the fix: first real user gets uidNumber/gidNumber "1500",
second gets "1501" -- admin's 10000 never enters the calculation
- New unit tests (nodejs/tests/posix_id.test.js, no LDAP required):
6/6 pass, covering the empty-array case, the reserved-floor
exclusion, and the NaN-from-missing-value case
- npm test: 18/18 passing tests still pass (unchanged); the other 155
failures are pre-existing/environmental (no LDAP server in this
sandbox) -- confirmed via git stash before starting this fix
* 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)
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).

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.
