cPasswords
==========

cPasswords is a group password manager develop by the
`CRANS <https://www.crans.org>`__.

Client installation
-------------------

-  Add you GPG fingerprint and your SSH key to the cpassword server. For
   the CRANS, you can do this on the intranet.

-  Clone the code,
   ``git clone git@gitlab.crans.org:nounous/cranspasswords.git``,

-  Launch ``pip3 install --user .``,

-  Make sure the install path (``~/.local/bin``) is in your ``$PATH``,

-  Try ``cranspasswords test`` to decrypt a test password.

Server installation
-------------------

-  Clone the code,
   ``git clone git@gitlab.crans.org:nounous/cranspasswords.git``,

-  Launch ``pip3 install --user .``,

-  Add a sudoers rule to enable users from ``sudoers_group`` to launch
   cpasswords,
   ``%sudoers_group ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/cranspasswords-server``

-  Copy and adapt ``docs/serverconfig.example.py`` to
   ``/etc/cranspasswords/serverconfig.py``.

-  Create ``/var/lib/cranspasswords/db/`` with owner root and mod 700
   (root only).
