Infrastructure

For the cloud self service portal to work we need to have some existing infrastructure tools.

LDAP Server

Introduction

  • At the moment the self service portal does not have its own user directory
  • That is why the application completely relies on a 3rd party LDAP server for managing user accounts and doing authentication
  • The application has been tested with these LDAP servers:
    • Microsoft Active Directory (use LDAPs port 3269 from global catalog)
    • OpenLDAP
  • See all configs in application.properties file starting with the ldap prefix

Example

For testing purposes you can use the public LDAP server of the company Forum Systems:

http://www.forumsys.com/tutorials/integration-how-to/ldap/online-ldap-test-server/

For this LDAP server the config in the application.properties file would look like this:

APPLICATION_ADMIN_GROUP=scientists
LDAP_URL_STRING=ldap://ldap.forumsys.com:389
LDAP_BASE_DN=dc=example,dc=com
LDAP_PRINCIPAL=cn=read-only-admin,dc=example,dc=com
LDAP_PASSWORD=password
LDAP_USER_SEARCH_FILTER=(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)
LDAP_LOGIN_ATTRIBUTE=uid
LDAP_GIVENNAME_ATTRIBUTE=givenName
LDAP_SURNAME_ATTRIBUTE=sn
LDAP_DISPLAYNAME_ATTRIBUTE=cn
LDAP_MAIL_ATTRIBUTE=mail
LDAP_GROUP_ATTRIBUTE=
LDAP_MEMBER_ATTRIBUTE=uniqueMember
LDAP_TIMEOUT=3000
LDAP_PAGE_SIZE=1000

Now you should be able to login to the cloud portal with these credentials:

  • Username: einstein
  • Password: password

As the einstein user is member of the scientists group, you can now start to create credentials for your favorite cloud provider with the Credentials Admin.

SMTP Server

  • Mail notification can be turned on to show the provisioning log and the result variables like hostname etc
  • To send these mails you have to configure your desired SMTP server
  • See all configs in application.properties file starting with the mail prefix
