Clipperz Online Password Manager - Community Edition

Clipperz Community Edition allows you to host on your own server a web service identical to Clipperz online password manager. It’s open source and released under an AGPL v3 license.

But why would you prefer the Community Edition over the popular online service?

• “Clipperz technology and security architecture is great, but I prefer to store my data on my hardware. I just feel better this way!”
• “Clipperz password manager could be very useful in my department, but our internal policies does not allow to store data, even encrypted data, on an external server.”
• “I would like to modify the look & feel of Clipperz and embed this powerful password manager within my family intranet.”
• “Clipperz works nicely, but I would love to play with the source code in order to improve feature X and add new features Y and Z.”
• …

However Clipperz Community Edition is not suitable for mass deployments since it lacks several critical capabilities such as bot protection. If you want to offer your Clipperz installation to a wide audience get in contact with us.

Instructions

1. Download the latest version from the "Downloads" tab above.
2. Open the /php/configuration.php file and modify the following settings to properly connect to your MySQL database. Make sure to create an empty clipperz database first.

$configuration['db']	= 'clipperz'; 	//	database name
$configuration['host']	= 'localhost';	//	database host
$configuration['user']	= 'root';	//	database user
$configuration['pass']	= 'pass';	//	database password
$configuration['port'] 	= '3306';	//	database port

3. Load /php/setup/index.php in your browser and follow the instructions.
• Click on the "POG me up!" button at the bottom of the page;
• If all subsequent checks are successful, click on the "Proceed" button.
4. At this point all database objects required by the Clipperz application have been generated. Enjoy your Clipperz installation by accessing the /index.html file.

Additional information

Once the application is successfully installed, it is probably a good idea to remove, disable or protect the whole /php/setup/ folder, in order to avoid anyone from deleting random records from the database. Your data will not be leaked, but it would be possible to delete them anyway.

The PHP code is quite simple, but there are a few dependency on external library that you may have to include, depending of the version of PHP you are using.

• PDO
• JSON
• BCMath

The code has been compiled using PHP 5.1.6 The POG class definitions have been configured for use with PHP 5.1+

For added convenience, we have added a page at /php/test.php that reports the detailed PHP configuration available on your computer.
