For those of you who still use DFX for local development, here’s how to set up Internet Identity frontend as a pullable dependency in your dfx.json file.
{
"dfx": "0.31.0",
"canisters": {
"internet_identity": {
"type": "pull",
"id": "rdmx6-jaaaa-aaaaa-aaadq-cai"
},
"internet_identity_frontend": {
"type": "pull",
"id": "uqzsh-gqaaa-aaaaq-qaada-cai",
}
},
"version": 1
}
To deploy the default local network (port 4943):
rm -r deps
dfx start --clean --background
dfx deps pull
dfx deps init
dfx deps deploy
Internet Identity should be available at http://uqzsh-gqaaa-aaaaq-qaada-cai.localhost:4943.
Read this if you wish to start the DFX network on a non-standard port (e.g., 8080)
rm -r deps
dfx start --clean --background --host 127.0.0.1:8080
dfx deps pull
dfx deps init internet_identity_frontend --argument '(record {
backend_canister_id = principal "rdmx6-jaaaa-aaaaa-aaadq-cai";
related_origins = opt vec { "http://uqzsh-gqaaa-aaaaq-qaada-cai.localhost:8080" };
backend_origin = "http://rdmx6-jaaaa-aaaaa-aaadq-cai.localhost:8080";
dev_csp = opt true;
})'
dfx deps init
dfx deps deploy
Internet Identity should be available at http://uqzsh-gqaaa-aaaaq-qaada-cai.localhost:8080.
Note that uqzsh-gqaaa-aaaaq-qaada-cai (and not rdmx6-... any more) should now be the argument passed to authClient.
PS. Instructions for ICP-CLI coming shortly.
