The first-run flow generated ./config/*.js with example.com/dc=example,dc=com
defaults and then exit 0'd, telling the operator to hand-edit. The domain/base
DN was repeated across ~9 fields in each secrets file; on the deploy host only
the stack block was updated (to dc=718it,dc=biz) while ldap.* DNs stayed at
dc=example,dc=com, so slapd's root DN didn't match the app's bindDN and
bootstrap failed with 401 Invalid Credentials.
Enter the domain once: a new setup.env (gitignored; setup.env.example is the
committed template) holds the essential, non-repeating first-run info — the
domain as an LDAP base DN (CFG_BASE_DN). setup.sh reads it ONLY on first run
(when ./config/*.js don't exist), derives hostnames (sso.<domain> /
proxy.<domain>) and all LDAP DNs from it, generates both secrets files with
the real domain filled in everywhere + random secrets, and proceeds to build
in the same run (no edit-and-re-run step). After first run the secrets files
are operator-owned and setup.env is ignored — the apps and secrets files are
unchanged.
- setup.sh ensure_config: source setup.env -> bind CFG_* to empty (set -u
safe) -> unchanged .env/proxy.env legacy migration -> derive from base DN
(no example.com defaults; die with a helpful msg if CFG_BASE_DN blank) ->
generate + proceed. Header comments updated.
- setup.env.example: committed template; secrets stay out (generated into
./config/*.js).
- .gitignore: ignore setup.env (per-deployment).
- README.md + docs/quickstart.md: Quickstart now cp setup.env.example ->
set CFG_BASE_DN -> ./setup.sh; domain-asked-once note in "Before you begin".
- Bump sso-manager-node gitlink to 11fb2c0 (docs PR #37: base-DN-is-the-one-
domain-value note in sso-manager README/DEPLOYMENT/secrets.js.example).
