wmantly 158109de59 Documentation cleanup for public release (#38)
* 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.

# SSO manager
## API docs
[API docs](API.md)
## Server set up
### Recommended: Docker or install.sh
The supported, tested deployment paths are **Docker** (an all-in-one image
bundling the app + OpenLDAP + Redis) and the **`install.sh`** bare-metal
installer for Debian/Ubuntu. Most users should start there:
- [Deployment Guide](DEPLOYMENT.md) — Docker + bare metal, configuration
layers, backups, troubleshooting.
- [docs/index.md](docs/index.md) — documentation home (also published as a
GitHub Pages site), with links to configuration, LDAP, and OAuth/OIDC docs.
### Manual / advanced: raw OpenLDAP setup
The rest of this section walks through configuring OpenLDAP by hand. This is
the **manual/advanced path** — useful if you're pointing the app at an
existing LDAP server, or want to understand exactly what `install.sh` and the
Docker entrypoint automate for you. Most deployments should use Docker or
`install.sh` above instead.
The server requires:
* NodeJS 20.x
* LDAP server
> Setting up the whole stack (Docker) or want the secrets-file layout? See
> [DEPLOYMENT.md](DEPLOYMENT.md) — your domain is entered **once**, as the LDAP
> base DN (`stack.ldapBaseDn`); the LDAP DNs (`bindDN`/`userBase`/`groupBase`)
> and `oauth.issuer` all derive from it and must stay consistent. Running the
> unified `theta-env` stack, `setup.sh` fills those in for you from `setup.env`.
### OpenLDAP configuration
#### Password hashing (required)
Passwords are stored using `{SSHA512}` (salted SHA-512). The `pw-sha2` module must be loaded in slapd before creating or resetting any passwords.
```bash
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// << 'EOF'
dn: cn=module{0},cn=config
changetype: modify
add: olcModuleLoad
olcModuleLoad: pw-sha2
EOF
```
Verify the module is working:
```bash
slappasswd -h {SSHA512} -s testpassword
```
Existing `{MD5}` password hashes continue to work after the module is loaded — users are migrated to SSHA512 the next time they change their password.
#### Account locking (required for active/inactive toggle)
User activation and deactivation uses the OpenLDAP `ppolicy` overlay. When a user is marked inactive, `pwdAccountLockedTime` is set on their entry, which causes all LDAP binds to fail — including logins to Emby, Gitea, and any other LDAP-backed service.
> **The easy way:** run [`ops/ldap-setup.sh`](ops/ldap-setup.sh) on the LDAP server. It is idempotent, auto-detects the correct user database, applies everything below (pw-sha2, ppolicy module/overlay/schema, custom schema, policy entry, SSO groups) and verifies ppolicy is active at the end:
>
> ```bash
> sudo ./ops/ldap-setup.sh -p <admin-password>
> ```
>
> If the app returns `503 OpenLDAP ppolicy overlay is not configured` on `PUT /api/user/<uid>/active`, run this script — it means the overlay is not attached to the database holding your users. The manual steps below are equivalent and kept for reference.
**1. Load the ppolicy module:**
```bash
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// << 'EOF'
dn: cn=module{0},cn=config
changetype: modify
add: olcModuleLoad
olcModuleLoad: ppolicy
EOF
```
**2. Add the overlay to your user database:**
> Warning: The database index below (`{1}mdb`) is **not** the same on every install. Confirm yours first — the overlay must go on the database whose `olcSuffix` is your base DN, or account locking silently won't apply to your users:
>
> ```bash
> ldapsearch -Q -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b cn=config \
> '(&(objectClass=olcDatabaseConfig)(olcSuffix=dc=example,dc=com))' dn
> ```
```bash
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// << 'EOF'
dn: olcOverlay=ppolicy,olcDatabase={1}mdb,cn=config
objectClass: olcOverlayConfig
objectClass: olcPPolicyConfig
olcOverlay: ppolicy
olcPPolicyDefault: cn=ppolicy,ou=policies,dc=example,dc=com
olcPPolicyUseLockout: TRUE
olcPPolicyHashCleartext: FALSE
EOF
```
**3. Create the policies container and default policy:**
```bash
ldapadd -x -D "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" -W << 'EOF'
dn: ou=policies,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: policies
dn: cn=ppolicy,ou=policies,dc=example,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalRole
objectClass: pwdPolicy
cn: ppolicy
pwdAttribute: 2.5.4.35
pwdLockout: FALSE
pwdMustChange: FALSE
pwdAllowUserChange: TRUE
EOF
```
Verify by locking a test account and confirming bind fails:
```bash
ldapmodify -x -D "cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" -W << 'EOF'
dn: cn=testuser,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com
changetype: modify
replace: pwdAccountLockedTime
pwdAccountLockedTime: 000001010000Z
EOF
```
#### Custom schema (required for date of birth)
User accounts store a `dateOfBirth` field (ISO 8601 `YYYY-MM-DD`) for age verification. This requires a custom attribute type and auxiliary objectClass to be loaded into the OpenLDAP schema before any accounts are created.
**Load the schema:**
```bash
ldapadd -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// << 'EOF'
dn: cn=theta42,cn=schema,cn=config
objectClass: olcSchemaConfig
cn: theta42
olcAttributeTypes: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.99999.1.1
NAME 'dateOfBirth'
DESC 'Date of birth in ISO 8601 format YYYY-MM-DD'
EQUALITY caseExactMatch
SUBSTR caseExactSubstringsMatch
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15
SINGLE-VALUE )
olcObjectClasses: ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.99999.2.1
NAME 'theta42Person'
DESC 'Theta42 SSO extended person attributes'
AUXILIARY
MAY ( dateOfBirth ) )
EOF
```
Verify the schema loaded:
```bash
ldapsearch -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:/// -b "cn=theta42,cn=schema,cn=config" olcAttributeTypes olcObjectClasses
```
> **Note:** The OID prefix `1.3.6.1.4.1.99999` is used for internal/private schemas. If this deployment is ever connected to a federated directory, register a proper PEN at https://www.iana.org/assignments/enterprise-numbers and update the OIDs.
#### Required LDAP groups
| Group | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| `app_sso_admin` | Full admin access: manage users, groups, OAuth clients |
| `app_sso_oauth_admin` | Manage OAuth clients only |
| `app_sso_invite` | Invitation management |
## Logs (Docker)
The all-in-one image runs the Node app and slapd (OpenLDAP) in one container,
both writing to the container's stdout/stderr, so `docker compose logs` is the
primary view (slapd runs with `-d 0`, so LDAP output is there too).
```bash
docker compose logs -f sso-manager # app + slapd (stdout/stderr)
# or, by container name:
docker logs -f sso-manager
docker compose logs --tail=200 --since=10m sso-manager # recent context
# Query the directory directly to confirm LDAP is healthy
docker compose exec sso-manager ldapsearch -x -H ldap://localhost:389 \
-D "cn=admin,$LDAP_BASE_DN" -W -b "$LDAP_BASE_DN"
```
See [DEPLOYMENT.md](DEPLOYMENT.md) → *Troubleshooting* for LDAP-specific errors.
