Configuration

In order to correctly add this application in your project you must perform the following configuration steps.

Advanced Configuration​

API Gateway​

Nginx​

If the api gateway used in the project is nginx (docker image nexus.mia-platform.eu/core/api-gateway) go to the design area of the console go to Advanced and select the api-gateway microservice.

Open the file server-extension.conf and write the following configuration:

error_page 401 = @error401;

location @error401 {
  include /etc/nginx/customization.d/header-debug.conf;

  if ($type = "text/html") {
    return 302 '$original_request_scheme://$original_request_host/web-login?redirect=$original_request_uri$is_args$args';
  }

  default_type $type;
  return 401 $content_401;
}

This configuration will tell the API Gateway to redirect (302) any unauthorized request (401) to /web-login endpoint, without modifying the original request.

Envoy​

If the api gateway used in the project is envoy (docker image envoyproxy/envoy) go to the design area of the console go to Advanced and select the api-gateway-envoy microservice.

Open the file local-replies.yml and write the following configuration:

- listener_name: frontend
  filter:
    status_code_filter:
      comparison:
        op: EQ
        value:
          default_value: 401
          runtime_key: key_b
  status_code: 302
  body:
    inline_string: |-
      <html>
        <head>
          <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
            <title>302 Found</title>
        </head>
      </html>
  headers_to_add:
  - header:
      key: "Location"
      value: "/web-login?redirect=%REQ(X-ENVOY-ORIGINAL-PATH?:PATH)%"
    append: false
- listener_name: frontend
  filter:
    and_filter:
      filters:
      - status_code_filter:
          comparison:
            op: EQ
            value:
              default_value: 404
              runtime_key: key_b
      - header_filter:
          header:
            name: ":path"
            string_match:
              exact: "/"
  status_code: 308
  body:
    inline_string: |-
      <html>
        <head>
          <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
            <title>308 Permanent Redirect</title>
        </head>
      </html>
  headers_to_add:
  - header:
      key: "Location"
      value: "/"
    append: false

Authorization Service​

From the design area of the console go to Advanced and select the authorization-service microservice.

Open the file auth.json and write the following configuration:

  "/web-login": {
    "GET": {
      "authorization": {
        "expression": "true",
        "public": true

  },
  "/users": {
    "ALL": {
      "authorization": {
        "expression": "true",
        "public": true
      },
      "backofficeAuthorization": {
        "expression": "true",
        "public": true
      }
    }
  },
  "/login-site": {
