ee-security: Using Jakarta EE Security

The ee-security quickstart demonstrates Jakarta EE security.

What is it?

The ee-security quickstart is an example project showing the use of Jakarta EE security in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.

The deployment in this quickstart contains a simple HTTP servlet, which is secured using a custom HttpAuthenticationMechanism. The authentication mechanism in turn makes use of a custom IdentityStore.

This quickstart is hard coded to work with a user quickstartUser with password quickstartPwd1!.

System Requirements

The application this project produces is designed to be run on Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 8.0 or later.

All you need to build this project is Java 11.0 (Java SDK 11) or later and Maven 3.6.0 or later. See Configure Maven to Build and Deploy the Quickstarts to make sure you are configured correctly for testing the quickstarts.

Use of the EAP_HOME and QUICKSTART_HOME Variables

In the following instructions, replace EAP_HOME with the actual path to your JBoss EAP installation. The installation path is described in detail here: Use of EAP_HOME and JBOSS_HOME Variables.

When you see the replaceable variable QUICKSTART_HOME, replace it with the path to the root directory of all of the quickstarts.

Building and running the quickstart application with a JBoss EAP server distribution

Back Up the JBoss EAP Standalone Server Configuration

Before you begin, back up your server configuration file.

  1. If it is running, stop the JBoss EAP server.

  2. Back up the EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml file.

After you have completed testing this quickstart, you can replace this file to restore the server to its original configuration.

Start the JBoss EAP Standalone Server

  1. Open a terminal and navigate to the root of the JBoss EAP directory.

  2. Start the JBoss EAP server with the default profile by typing the following command.

    $ EAP_HOME/bin/standalone.sh
    Note
    		 For Windows, use the EAP_HOME\bin\standalone.bat script.

Configure the Server

You configure the security domain by running JBoss CLI commands. For your convenience, this quickstart batches the commands into a configure-elytron.cli script provided in the root directory of this quickstart.

  1. Before you begin, make sure you do the following:

  2. Review the configure-elytron.cli file in the root of this quickstart directory. This script adds the configuration that enables Elytron security for the quickstart components. Comments in the script describe the purpose of each block of commands.

  3. Open a new terminal, navigate to the root directory of this quickstart, and run the following command, replacing EAP_HOME with the path to your server:

    $ EAP_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --file=configure-elytron.cli
    Note
    		 For Windows, use the EAP_HOME\bin\jboss-cli.bat script.

    You should see the following result when you run the script:

    The batch executed successfully
process-state: reload-required

  4. You’ll need to reload the configuration after that:

    $ EAP_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --commands=reload

Build and Deploy the Quickstart

  1. Make sure you start the JBoss EAP server as described above.

  2. Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.

  3. Type the following command to build the quickstart.

    $ mvn clean package

  4. Type the following command to deploy the quickstart.

    $ mvn wildfly:deploy

This deploys the ee-security/target/ee-security.war to the running instance of the server.

You should see a message in the server log indicating that the archive deployed successfully.

Access the Application

The application will be running at the following URL: http://localhost:8080/ee-security/secured

Note
 If you attempt to access that URL, you will see "Unauthorized".

To see and manipulate the HTTP headers within the HTTP requests, it is recommended to use a client like curl to invoke the servlet.

$ curl -v http://localhost:8080/ee-security/secured
...
< HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
< Connection: keep-alive
< X-MESSAGE: Please resubmit the request with a username specified using the X-USERNAME and a password specified using the X-PASSWORD header.

This first request shows the client is being prompted to authenticate. The X-MESSAGE header is providing additional information as to how the client can achieve this.

The request can now be submitted with the previously added user.

$ curl -v http://localhost:8080/ee-security/secured -H 'X-Username:quickstartUser' -H 'X-Password:quickstartPwd1!'
...
> GET /ee-security/secured HTTP/1.1
> Host: localhost:8080
> X-Username:quickstartUser
> X-Password:quickstartPwd1!
>
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Connection: keep-alive
< Content-Length: 125
<
SecuredServlet - doGet()
Identity as available from SecurityContext 'quickstartUser'
Identity as available from injection 'quickstartUser'

The resulting output shows authentication was successful and the correct identity has been established.

Run the Arquillian Integration Tests

This quickstart includes Arquillian integration tests. They are located under the src/test/ directory. The integration tests verify that the quickstart runs correctly when deployed on the server.

Follow these steps to run the integration tests.

  1. Make sure you start the JBoss EAP server, as previously described.

  2. Make sure you build and deploy the quickstart, as previously described.

  3. Type the following command to run the verify goal with the arq-remote profile activated.

    $ mvn verify -Parq-remote
Note

You may also use the environment variable SERVER_HOST or the system property server.host to define the target host of the tests.

Undeploy the Quickstart

When you are finished testing the quickstart, follow these steps to undeploy the archive.

  1. Make sure you start the JBoss EAP server as described above.

  2. Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.

  3. Type this command to undeploy the archive:

    $ mvn wildfly:undeploy

Restore the JBoss EAP Standalone Server Configuration

You can restore the original server configuration using either of the following methods.

Restore the JBoss EAP Standalone Server Configuration by Running the JBoss CLI Script

  1. Start the JBoss EAP server as described above.

  2. Open a new terminal, navigate to the root directory of this quickstart, and run the following command, replacing EAP_HOME with the path to your server:

    $ EAP_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect --file=restore-configuration.cli
    Note
    		 For Windows, use the EAP_HOME\bin\jboss-cli.bat script.

Restore the JBoss EAP Standalone Server Configuration Manually

When you have completed testing the quickstart, you can restore the original server configuration by manually restoring the backup copy the configuration file.

  1. If it is running, stop the JBoss EAP server.

  2. Replace the EAP_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml file with the backup copy of the file.

Building and running the quickstart application with OpenShift

Build the JBoss EAP Source-to-Image (S2I) Quickstart to OpenShift with Helm Charts

On OpenShift, the S2I build with Apache Maven will use an openshift profile used to provision a JBoss EAP server to deploy and run the quickstart in OpenShift environment. You can activate the Maven profile named openshift when building the quickstart:

$ mvn clean package -Popenshift

The provisioned JBoss EAP server for OpenShift, with the quickstart deployed, can then be found in the target/server directory, and its usage is similar to a standard server distribution. You may note that it uses the cloud feature pack which enables a configuration tuned for OpenShift environment.

The server provisioning functionality is provided by the EAP Maven Plugin, and you may find its configuration in the quickstart pom.xml:

        <profile>
            <id>openshift</id>
            <build>
                <plugins>
                    <plugin>
                        <groupId>org.jboss.eap.plugins</groupId>
                        <artifactId>eap-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                        <version>${version.eap.maven.plugin}</version>
                        <configuration>
                            <feature-packs>
                                <feature-pack>
                                    <location>org.jboss.eap:wildfly-ee-galleon-pack</location>
                                </feature-pack>
                                <feature-pack>
                                    <location>org.jboss.eap.cloud:eap-cloud-galleon-pack</location>
                                </feature-pack>
                            </feature-packs>
                            <layers>
                                <layer>cloud-server</layer>
                            </layers>
                            <filename>ROOT.war</filename>
                        </configuration>
                        <executions>
                            <execution>
                                <goals>
                                    <goal>package</goal>
                                </goals>
                            </execution>
                        </executions>
                    </plugin>
                </plugins>
            </build>
        </profile>
Note

Since the plugin configuration above deploys quickstart on root web context of the provisioned server, the URL to access the application should not have the /ee-security path segment after HOST:PORT.

Getting Started with JBoss EAP for OpenShift and Helm Charts

This section contains the basic instructions to build and deploy this quickstart to JBoss EAP for OpenShift or JBoss EAP for OpenShift Online using Helm Charts.

Prerequisites

  • You must be logged in OpenShift and have an oc client to connect to OpenShift

  • Helm must be installed to deploy the backend on OpenShift.

Once you have installed Helm, you need to add the repository that provides Helm Charts for JBoss EAP.

$ helm repo add jboss-eap https://jbossas.github.io/eap-charts/
"jboss-eap" has been added to your repositories
$ helm search repo jboss-eap
NAME                    CHART VERSION   APP VERSION     DESCRIPTION
jboss-eap/eap8         ...             ...             A Helm chart to build and deploy EAP 8.0 applications

Deploy the JBoss EAP Source-to-Image (S2I) Quickstart to OpenShift with Helm Charts

Log in to your OpenShift instance using the oc login command. The backend will be built and deployed on OpenShift with a Helm Chart for JBoss EAP.

Navigate to the root directory of this quickstart and run the following command:

$ helm install ee-security -f charts/helm.yaml jboss-eap/eap8
NAME: ee-security
...
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1

The Helm Chart for this quickstart contains all the information to build an image from the source code using S2I on Java 17:

build:
  uri: https://github.com/jboss-developer/jboss-eap-quickstarts.git
  ref: 8.0.x
  contextDir: ee-security
deploy:
  replicas: 1

This will create a new deployment on OpenShift and deploy the application.

If you want to see all the configuration elements to customize your deployment you can use the following command:

$ helm show readme jboss-eap/eap8

Let’s wait for the application to be built and deployed:

$ oc get deployment ee-security -w
NAME         DESIRED   CURRENT   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
ee-security   1         1         1            0           12s
...
ee-security   1         1         1            1           2m

Get the URL of the route to the deployment.

$ oc get route ee-security -o jsonpath="{.spec.host}"

Access the application in your web browser using the displayed URL.

Note

The Maven profile named openshift is used by the Helm chart to provision the server with the quickstart deployed on the root web context, and thus the application should be accessed with the URL without the /ee-security path segment after HOST:PORT.

Undeploy the JBoss EAP Source-to-Image (S2I) Quickstart from OpenShift with Helm Charts

$ helm uninstall ee-security

Run the Arquillian Integration Tests with OpenShift

This quickstart includes Arquillian integration tests. They are located under the src/test/ directory. The integration tests verify that the quickstart runs correctly when deployed on the server.

Note

The Arquillian integration tests expect a deployed application, so make sure you have deployed the quickstart on OpenShift before you begin.

Run the integration tests using the following command to run the verify goal with the arq-remote profile activated and the proper URL:

$ mvn clean verify -Parq-remote -Dserver.host=https://$(oc get route ee-security --template='{{ .spec.host }}')
Note

The tests are using SSL to connect to the quickstart running on OpenShift. So you need the certificates to be trusted by the machine the tests are run from.
