CakeFest 2023 workshop

The source code for the workshop given at Cakefest 2023

Branches

This repository has several branches for the various stages of my workshop:

master Contains a basic CakePHP 5 demo.
authentication-authorization Contains a simple application with authentication and authorization setup.
sudomode-complete Contains the completed sudo-mode application.
webauthn-complete Contains the completed webauthn/passkeys application.

Installation

Download Composer or update composer self-update.
Run php composer.phar install.

If Composer is installed globally, run

composer install

You can now start the CakePHP development server with:

bin/cake server -p 8765

Then visit http://localhost:8765 to see the welcome page.

mkcert & stunnel

For the webauthn example, the application needs to be behind a TLS webserver. The cakephp dev server can't do TLS, so I'm using a pair of CLI utilities you can generate an HTTPs proxy for the cakephp dev server. I found this pretty simple to use on linux.

Generate certificates for your local machine using mkcert

mkcert localhost
cat localhost.pem localhost-key.pem > localhost-bundle.pem
chmod 0666 *.pem

This will generate certificate & key file. Create the bundled certificate for stunnel

Then in one terminal, run: bin/cake server and then in another run

sudo stunnel3 -f -d 443 -r 8765 -p ./localhost-bundle.pem

Configuration

Read and edit the environment specific config/app_local.php and set up the 'Datasources' and any other configuration relevant for your application. Other environment agnostic settings can be changed in config/app.php.
