Red Hat Openshift Single Sign-On Secured N-tier application

This project contains scripts and source to deploy a 3 tier application along with Red Hat Single Sign-On and secures the application with SSL.

The application has a node.js run Angular frontend (tier 1) that calls a JBoss EAP REST backend (tier 2) that persists data to a MySQL database (tier 3). The Red Hat Single Sign-On deployment secures this deployed via a configured realm called java-js-realm. The realm contains configured clients for the public facing frontend (js) and the bearer only backend (eap). The security is simple and only checks that a valid user is logged in

All of the scripts to help deploy require that you are logged in via the oc command line tool to a Openshift cluster or container development kit instance

Example: oc login -u developer

Deploy Red Hat Single Sign-On

In the sso folder, run the ocp-deploy-sso.sh script. This script creates a custom build that includes a sample theme for the login page, named coreui. Once finished you will see the deployed pods in the SSO N-tier project. The login to the RH-SSO admin console is admin/Redhat1!

Set the Public Key in the config map

Make sure the RH-SSO instance is up and running. Once the Red Hat Single Sign-on instance is up you will need to modify the config map used by the Springboot backend, JBoss EAP backend and nodejs frontend to communicate with Red Hat Single Sign-On. `

In the RH-SSO admin console, go to the java-js-realm, the keys tab and select Public Key and copy the value.

In the SSO N-Tier project, go to Resources then Config Maps
Edit the ntier-config and paste the value into the PUBLIC_KEY entry

Deploy JBoss EAP and MySQL

In the eap folder run the ocp-deploy-eap.sh script.

Deploy node.js

In the node folder run the ocp-deploy-node.sh script.

Configure Clients

While the builds are running you can configure the clients in RH-SSO.

JS Client

In the java-js-realm, select clients, then create
Set Client ID to js, then select save
Set Valid Redirect URIs to the route of your node.js instance plus /*. Example: https://nodejs-app-ntier.192.168.42.24.nip.io/*
- In other words, in the Openshift Console overview for your project, copy the exposed route to the nodejs-app
Set Web Origins to *
Select save

Java Client

In the java-js-realm, select clients, then create
Set Client ID to java, then select save
Set Access Type to bearer-only
Select save

Create User

You can either turn on account registration, or create a user in the admin console

Turn on Registration

In the java-js-realm, select Login, then enable User registrtion

Create a user in the console

In the java-js-realm, select Users, then Add User
Fill out the Username, Email, First Name and Last Name fields
Select save
On the Credentials tab, set a new password
Select Reset Password
Confirm that you want to Change the password

Change Theme (optional)

In the java-js-realm, select Themes
Set the Login Theme value to coreui. This will also the theme the registration page if enabled

Test!

Now that everything is configured, go to the node-js application route and you should be prompted to login as the user you just created. You will also be prompted to create a new password. The screenshot below shows the themed login page.

You will be able to see and edit your user account in the top right menu by selecting the Account link.

Using the Status and Cars tabs will make REST calls to the JBoss EAP REST backend or Springboot backend.
