# mcat

mcat is a lightweight web application for testing and auditing MCIAS login
policies. It presents a login form that forwards credentials, along with a
configurable `service_name` and `tags`, to an MCIAS instance. This lets
operators verify that login policy rules behave as expected for a given
service context.

It follows the standard Metacircular Dynamics engineering standards.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Build
make mcat

# Configure (copy and edit the example config)
mkdir -p srv/certs
cp deploy/examples/mcat.toml.example srv/mcat.toml
# Edit srv/mcat.toml with your MCIAS URL, TLS certs, service_name, and tags

# Run
./mcat server --config srv/mcat.toml
```

Then open `https://localhost:8443` in a browser.

## Build

```bash
make all    # vet, lint, test, build
make test   # tests only
make lint   # golangci-lint
```
