The URL injection in JS is what still puzzles me, since we’re not doing any HTML/JS preprocessing.

Oggetto: Re: [kapua-dev] Refactoring SSO
So in this case the WAR file already knows the URI to use?! It can either assemble it or get configured to point the JS code to a different URI.

Yes.
Are you suggesting to serve the REST APIs and the console from the same instance? I’m clearly missing something,
but I can’t figure out what...
Claudio Mezzasalma | Eurotech
The frontend is served from the WAR file right?

Of course, but how to actually tell the frontend the correct URI to reach them?
Claudio Mezzasalma | Eurotech
Well the REST API can be accessible in any way, that is the purpose of it, right?
So what configuration file are you referring to?

Since there is no server side rendered HTML I thought that using such a router was the easiest way to provide configurability
of the REST APIs URL, since to the frontend would only need to know that they reside under /api while the NodeJS server would route it to the correct server reading its address from a configuration file. Reading the configuration file in the frontend to obtain
such and address would have exposed all the configuration to the browser, so I discarded that approach.

The static files could all be served by a simple WAR file, the SSO stuff is subject to change and we could re-use the code there. And the REST API could be accessed directly?!
So let's switch to Jetty (plain WAR-file).

It uses ExpressJS to provide three features:
- Host an HTTP server that serves all the static files
- Redirects every call to /api/* to the Kapua REST API, acting as a proxy
- Acts as an entry point for SSO towards the configured identity provider
You can look at the console-v2/server folder in the impl-consoleV2 branch
Claudio Mezzasalma | Eurotech
Sounds reasonable. But maybe you can give a bit more input on what the NodeJS part actually does.

Ok, now I understand. I was looking at the SSO implementation as something strictly related to the “host implementation”,
given the diversity of our web applications nature.
It makes sense of course, but I think we should clarify something about the Patternfly console first.
As of now, the Patternfly console is built upon a small HTTP server built on NodeJS, that serves as a REST API router
as well. When we started its implementation I thought it made sense given the abstraction given by the REST APIs, together with the development speed of a simple NodeJS application. However, gathering experience month after month on the project, I’m starting
to think that having the Patternfly console server written in such a different technology stack than the rest of the project isn’t a good thing, and your idea just confirms this: if we move everything SSO related to a separate project we couldn’t use it from
a NodeJS app, leading us to duplicate some code only for the console, and of course I strongly want to avoid something like that.
So probably the Patternfly console project should be migrated to something like a lean Jetty server based implementation.
It’s my time to ask: what do you all think about this? :)
Claudio Mezzasalma | Eurotech
Currently the SSO stuff is distributed all over the code, in at least two projects.
I would like to extract this in a set of modules, which are specific to SSO and allow using different implementations, if provided.
This should isolate the different areas where SSO is used and provide a common function block which can then be re-used for REST, GWT and Patternfly.

Hi Jens,
I’m not sure I understand why you need such a refactoring. Could you please be a bit more specific on what you’re
thinking about?
Thanks!
Claudio Mezzasalma | Eurotech
I would like to start re-factoring the SSO implementation a little bit. Not changing anything from a logic/behavior point of view, but bringing together common SSO logic (as it exists
now) into a kapua-sso project for simplifying development.
Any objections?
Cheers
Jens
