# 🔐 WeKan — Login System Overview
This document provides a detailed overview of WeKans **login and authentication system**, covering client-side UI, server-side logic, external authentication methods, and potential upgrade paths.
---
## 🖥️ Login Web UI
WeKan's login interface is implemented using a combination of:
- `layouts.jade` Login HTML structure
- `layouts.js` Login logic and interactivity
- `layouts.css` Styling and layout
📁 Source: [`client/components/main`](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/tree/main/client/components/main)
---
## ⚙️ Server-Side Authentication
Server-side login functionality is handled in:
- [`server/authentication.js`](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/blob/main/server/authentication.js)
Other related configurations:
- 🔧 Account config: [`config/accounts.js`](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/blob/main/config/accounts.js)
- 📨 Sign-up invitations: [`models/settings.js#L275`](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/blob/main/models/settings.js#L275)
- 👤 User creation logic: [`models/users.js#L1339`](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/blob/main/models/users.js#L1339)
---
## 👥 Meteor User Accounts
WeKan utilizes Meteors `accounts` system. Relevant resources:
- 📚 Meteor 2.x Accounts Docs: [v2-docs.meteor.com/api/accounts](https://v2-docs.meteor.com/api/accounts)
- 🔍 Meteor Packages:
- [`packages`](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/blob/main/.meteor/packages)
- [`versions`](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/blob/main/.meteor/versions)
- 📦 Meteor 2.14 core packages: [Meteor 2.14 packages](https://github.com/meteor/meteor/tree/release/METEOR%402.14/packages)
---
## 🔐 External Authentication (OIDC, LDAP, etc.)
WeKan supports external authentication methods via internal packages.
📁 See [`packages/`](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/tree/main/packages) for:
- OpenID Connect (OIDC)
- LDAP
- OAuth and other integrations
---
## 📦 NPM & AtmosphereJS Dependencies
- 🔗 `package.json`: [Dependencies list](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/blob/main/package.json)
- 🧩 WekanTeam scoped NPM packages: [@wekanteam on npm](https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=%40wekanteam)
- ☁️ AtmosphereJS Meteor packages: [atmospherejs.com](https://atmospherejs.com)
---
## 🚧 Meteor Version & Upgrade Notes
- 📌 Current Version: **Meteor 2.14**
- [`.meteor/release`](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/blob/main/.meteor/release)
- 🔧 Maintained with only **critical fixes** until ~Summer 2025
- 🚀 Migration to **Meteor 3** or a new framework is under consideration
📘 Meteor 3 API: [docs.meteor.com/api/accounts](https://docs.meteor.com/api/accounts)
---
## 🧪 Prototypes & Examples
### 🐘 PHP Prototype Sign-Up
Used in experimental versions:
- Step 1: [`sign-up1.php`](https://github.com/wekan/php/blob/main/page/sign-up1.php)
- Step 2: [`sign-up2.php`](https://github.com/wekan/php/blob/main/page/sign-up2.php)
- Main entry: [`index.php#L72-L83`](https://github.com/wekan/php/blob/main/public/index.php#L72-L83)
---
### 🎨 WeKan Studio Prototype
Sign-up logic in the **WeKan Studio** version:
- [`signUp.fmt`](https://github.com/wekan/wekanstudio/blob/main/srv/templates/login/signUp.fmt)
---
## 📎 Future Considerations
- Upgrading to **Meteor 3.x**
- Refactoring frontend logic to fix translation rendering order
- Exploring **simplified authentication systems** in future prototypes
---
## 🔗 Project Links
- 🔧 Main Repo: [github.com/wekan/wekan](https://github.com/wekan/wekan)
- 🌐 Website: [wekan.github.io](https://wekan.github.io)
