Chef Authentication

Supermarket uses oc-id, a Chef Identity Service, to handle accounts and authentication with OAuth2. It allows users to have one account across multiple Chef applications.

Chef Identity is included with Enterprise Chef server 11.2.0 and newer and with Chef server 12 and newer. If you're running a version of Enterprise Chef server 11 older than 11.2.0 you'll have to run oc-id locally.

For instructions on running oc-id locally, see the oc-id project README.

If you're running a local copy of Supermarket, you'll need to set the following environment variables:

• CHEF_OAUTH2_URL: The protocol, host, and port of your oc-id instance (example: https://supermarket.mycorp.com:12345)
• CHEF_OAUTH2_APP_ID and CHEF_OAUTH2_SECRET: The keys from your oc-id application

After Supermarket has been restarted, you should be able to sign in using your oc-id instance.
