Development with an OIDC server

This document describes the steps needed to enable External Authentication (httpd), running an OIDC server and Apache on a local development setup.

1. Ensure you have the guides repo cloned locally

2. cd guides/external_auth

3. Launch KeyCloak

   podman run --rm -it --name keycloak \
     -p 8443:8443 \
     -v $(pwd)/certs:/opt/keycloak/conf/certs \
     -v $(pwd)/realms:/opt/keycloak/data/import \
     -e KC_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_USERNAME=admin \
     -e KC_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_PASSWORD=smartvm \
     -e KC_HTTPS_CERTIFICATE_FILE=/opt/keycloak/conf/certs/tls.crt \
     -e KC_HTTPS_CERTIFICATE_KEY_FILE=/opt/keycloak/conf/certs/tls.key \
     quay.io/keycloak/keycloak:26.6.3 \
     start-dev --import-realm
   

   When it completes startup, go to https://127.0.0.1.nip.io:8443 and login with admin / smartvm to verify it’s working. You should see a realm for ManageIQ.

4. Launch the httpd container

   podman run --rm -it --name httpd \
     -p 8080:8080 \
     -v $(pwd)/oidc-httpd-configs:/etc/httpd/conf.d \
     -e HTTPD_AUTH_OIDC_CLIENT_ID=manageiq-oidc-client \
     -e HTTPD_AUTH_OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET=3167ae6f-762d-49cd-b246-ef8856315957 \
     -e HTTPD_AUTH_HOST=127.0.0.1.nip.io \
     -e HTTPD_AUTH_PORT=8080 \
     --add-host=127.0.0.1.nip.io:192.168.127.254 \
     manageiq/httpd:latest
   

   Note: 192.168.65.2 / 192.168.127.254 is a hardcoded proxy for host.docker.internal / host.containers.internal on docker / podman

5. Launch ManageIQ

   Run your Rails server as you normally would for development, however, instead of accessing via the browser at https://localhost:3000, use http://127.0.0.1.nip.io:8080 (notice http as opposed to https and port 8080).

   If ManageIQ is not yet configured for OIDC, do the following:

   1. Login as admin / smartvm
   2. Go to Settings -> Application Settings -> Authentication

   3. Change the following:

      Mode	External (httpd)
      Enable Single Sign-On	checked
      Provider Type	Enable OpenID-Connect
      Get User Groups from External Authentication (httpd)	checked

   4. Save the changes
   5. Logout
   6. Click Log In to Corporate System

Updating KeyCloak data

Export data from a running KeyCloak

If you’ve made changes in KeyCloak that you’d like to save, leave KeyCloak running and in another terminal run:

podman exec -it keycloak /opt/keycloak/bin/kc.sh export \
  --file /opt/keycloak/data/import/ManageIQ-realm.json \
  --realm ManageIQ \
  --users realm_file

When it completes, realms/ManageIQ-realm.json will be updated on the host.

Recreating KeyCloak setup from scratch

1. Ensure you have a certs directory and realms directory

   mkdir certs
   mkdir realms
   

2. Generate a cert and key

   openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout certs/tls.key -out certs/tls.crt -days 3650 -nodes
   

3. Launch KeyCloak

   podman run --rm -it --name keycloak \
      -p 8443:8443 \
      -v $(pwd)/certs:/opt/keycloak/conf/certs \
      -v $(pwd)/realms:/opt/keycloak/data/import \
      -e KC_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_USERNAME=admin \
      -e KC_BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_PASSWORD=smartvm \
      -e KC_HTTPS_CERTIFICATE_FILE=/opt/keycloak/conf/certs/tls.crt \
      -e KC_HTTPS_CERTIFICATE_KEY_FILE=/opt/keycloak/conf/certs/tls.key \
      quay.io/keycloak/keycloak:26.6.3 \
      start-dev
   

4. Go to https://127.0.0.1.nip.io:8443 and login with admin / smartvm

5. Create a Realm

   Name	ManageIQ

   Note: realm name is case-sensitive in URLs!

6. Create an OIDC Client

   Client ID	manageiq-oidc-client
   Client Protocol	openid-connect

   Once created, go to the credentials tab and copy down the generated Secret value.

7. Configure the OIDC Client

   1. Settings

      Access Type	confidential
      Service Accounts Enabled	ON
      Authorization Enabled	ON
      Valid Redirect URIs	http://127.0.0.1.nip.io:8080/*

   2. Mappers -> Create

      Name	groups
      Mapper Type	Group Membership
      Token Claim Name	groups
      Full group path	OFF

8. Create a group

   Name	EvmGroup-super_administrator

9. Create a user

   Name	user1
   Email	user1@manageiq.org
   First Name	User
   Last Name	One
   Email Verified	ON

10. Configure the user

    1. Credentials

       Password	smartvm
       Password Confirmation	smartvm
       Temporary	OFF

    2. Groups

       Put the user into a group by clicking the group, then clicking Join.

11. Verify the setup

    1. Set the OIDC client secret: Be sure you have your OIDC client secret from step 6. ${client_secret} below is a reference to that value. The client secret value from the current ManageIQ Realm export is 3167ae6f-762d-49cd-b246-ef8856315957

    2. Fetch the configuration

       curl -s -k https://127.0.0.1.nip.io:8443/realms/ManageIQ/.well-known/openid-configuration | jq
       

    3. Get an access token

       token=$(curl -s -k -X POST https://127.0.0.1.nip.io:8443/realms/ManageIQ/protocol/openid-connect/token \
         -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
         -u manageiq-oidc-client:${client_secret} \
         -d username=user1 \
         -d password=smartvm \
         -d grant_type=password | jq -r ".access_token")
       

    4. Introspect the access token

       curl -s -k -X POST https://127.0.0.1.nip.io:8443/realms/ManageIQ/protocol/openid-connect/token/introspect \
         -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
         -u manageiq-oidc-client:${client_secret} \
         -d "token=${token}" | jq
       

12. Export the realm file. If you plan to commit this, also update the client secret values in this documentation.
