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.

# Configure (copy and edit the example config)
