2.8 KiB

Demo backend + website for mobile authentication project.

How to run.

1. Clone GIT repository

2. Setup HTTPS

Since Web eID only works over HTTPS connection, you'll need to serve the backend and website with an HTTPS certificate. A suitable tool for that is ngrok (https://ngrok.com/). To use ngrok, download it and then run the command (may need administrator rights) ngrok http 8080 and you should see something like this:

Copy the second forwarding link (the one with https) and put it in com.tarkvaratehnika.demobackend.config.ApplicationConfiguration.kt as val WEBSITE_ORIGIN_URL = "https://yourlinkhere.com"

3. Run the project

Use your favourite IDE or just run it via commandline with ./mvnw spring-boot:run

On your Android device browser navigate to the url you copied earlier and you should see the website landing page. If you have the mobile authentication app installed, you should be able to log into the website with your Estonian ID-card.
