It's useful for operators to classify users into separate groups which
we have termed "organizations". For other OAuth providers, the notion of
an organization typically fell along company lines. For example,
MegaCorp might have a "MegaCorp" GitHub organiztion, and all email
addresses would have the domain "megacorp.com".
Auth0 is slightly different in that MegaCorp would likely run their own
Auth0 provider for their internal services, so "organizations" in Auth0
are no longer synonymous with "large organizations" (or companies).
Instead, Auth0 organizations could be used to restrict access to
Chronograf instances based on team membership within an organization.
To make use of Auth0 organizations, operators should modify users'
app_metadata to include the key "organization". Its value should be the
organization which that user belongs to. This can be done automatically
through arbitrary rules using Auth0 Rules.
Auth0 is an OpenID Connect compliant OAuth2 provider, so we're able to
re-use the generic OAuth2 provider to implement it. The routes required
by Auth0 have been hardcoded for user convenience.
Also, Auth0 requires users to register a subdomain of auth0.com when
signing up. This must be provided to chronograf through the
`--auth0-domain` parameter (or `AUTH0_DOMAIN` ENV). This is **distinct**
from the `PUBLIC_URL`. For example, for a Chronograf hosted at
`http://www.example.com`, and an Auth0 domain of
`http://oceanic-airlines.auth0.com`, a client-id of `notpennysboat` and a
client-secret of `4-8-15-16-23-42`, the command line options would look
like:
```
chronograf \
--auth0-domain=http://oceanic-airlines.auth0.com \
--auth0-client-id=notpennysboat \
--auth0-secret=4-8-15-16-23-24
--public-url=http://www.example.com
-t `uuidgen`
```
Updated the logout link in the UI to use a link provided by the
/chronograf/v1/ endpoint. We also replaced many instances of string
concatenation of URL paths with path.Join, which better handles cases
where prefixed and suffixed "/" characters may be present in provided
basepaths. We also refactored how Basepath was being prefixed when using
Auth. Documentation was also updated to warn users that basepaths should
be applied to the OAuth callback link when configuring OAuth with their
provider.

Some load balancers will strip prefixes on their way to the chronograf
backend, others won't. The "--prefix-routes" parameter forces all
requests to the backend to have the prefix specified in "--basepath".
Omitting it will only cause routes to be rewritten in rendered
templates and assumes that the load balancer will remove the prefix.
Use with Caddy
==============
An easy way to test this out is using the free Caddy http server at
http://caddyserver.com.
This Caddyfile will work with the options `--basepath /chronograf
--prefix-routes` set:
```
localhost:2020 {
proxy /chronograf localhost:8888
log stdout
}
```
This Caddyfile will work with only the option `--basepath /chronograf`
set:
```
localhost:2020 {
proxy /chronograf localhost:8888 {
except /chronograf
}
log stdout
}
```
This breaks compatibility with the old behavior of --basepath, so this
requires that proxies be configured to not modify routes forwarded to
backends. The old behavior will be supported in a subsequent commit.
* Introduce Kapacitor and InfluxDB as command line options
If omitted, their values will be null at runtime. If supplied, e.g.:
chronograf
--kapacitor https://path.to.my:1/kapacitor/instance
--influxdb https://path.to.my:1/influxdb/instance
Their values will be accessible via
Server.Kapacitor
Server.InfluxDB
* MultiSourcesStore will hold Bolt and config’d sources
* Delegate to db.SourcesStore for now
* Add Username/Password tags for InfluxDB and Kapacitor
* Builders for MultiSourceStore and MultiLayoutStore
* Store Kapacitor and InfluxDB configs in memory
* Typo
* Update CHANGELOG
* Move StoreBuilders to server/builders.go
* Correct these assertions by reversing them
* Kapacitor -> KapacitorURL; InfluxDB -> InfluxDBURL
