Clipperz Password Manager

Setup

Instructions on setting up a private version of the Clipperz password manager using the Community Edition.

Prerequisites

• You'll need both the GitHub core and Python GitHub packages installed, so if required
  • apt-get install git-core
  • apt-get install python-git
• Access to a MySQL database to store your (encrypted) data into
• A website to host on
  • This can either be sub-directory to an existing site, or a new site. Though it would be advisable for it to be secure (HTTPS).

Procedure

1. Download the GIT package to a working directory (eg your home dir)
   • git clone https://github.com/clipperz/password-manager.git
2. Change directory into the download and build a deployable version
   • cd password-manager
   • ./scripts/build clean install debug --frontends beta --backends php
3. Move the contents of target/php to your web directory
   • EG mv target/php /var/www/clipperz
   • This can either be sub-directory to an existing site, or a new site. See below for an example config for a new Apache site.
4. Create database
   1. Launch the MySQL console
      • mysql -u root -p
   2. Create database
      • CREATE DATABASE clipperz;
   3. Create user for script
      • GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON clipperz.* TO 'clipperz'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'clipperz';
5. Update the config with your database details
   • vi configuration.php
6. Initialise the database - Browse to <your-site>/setup/index.php and click on POG me up, then Proceed
7. Remove the ability to access the database via the web
   • rm -fr setup
8. Browse to website and start using, eg <your-site>/beta/index.html
