This describes the test enviroment for the development and prototyping on the project.

The machine foonalagoona.mit.edu hosts the test central login server.  For the Webauth package, it runs the WebKDC software.

posteverything.mit.edu (running Apache 2.0) has the Webauth application server test software, available at:

     https://posteverything.mit.edu/tests/

This setup currently uses certificates signed by my own test CA, not MIT certificates, so you will get warnings about this if you attempt to visit this site, as well as when you are redirected to the login server.

When you select a test, and you have not yet logged in to the system, you will be redirected to the login server (at foonalagoona).  Here you will see a login page displayed, from which you can authenticate either using your Kerberos username and password, or using existing Kerberos tickets (via HTTP/SPNEGO, if you have configured your browser appropriately) or certificates (currently requires a user certificate signed by my test CA, not an MIT cert).  When you have authenticated successfully, a confirmation is displayed, with a link to redirect you back to the application server.  Once you have logged in, subsequent attempts to access the application server site should take you directly to the confirmation page.

If you authenticate using your existing Kerberos tickets, or certificates, the confirmation page will offer an option to always try that authentication method in the future, instead of displaying the login page. 

 Another test application server is at:

    https://pinkflag.mit.edu/tests/

This server is running Apache 1.3, so is useful for testing the Webauth module ported locally to 1.3.
