Getting started

These quickstarts run on JBoss EAP 7.1.0.

Prior to running the quickstarts you should read this entire document and have completed the following steps:

• Start and configure the Red Hat SSO Server
• Start and configure the JBoss EAP Server

Afterwards you should read the README file for the quickstart you would like to deploy. See examples for a list of the available quickstarts.

If you run into any problems please refer to the troubleshooting section.

Use of RHSSO_HOME and EAP_HOME Variables

The quickstart README files use the replaceable value RHSSO_HOME to denote the path to the Red Hat SSO installation and the value EAP_HOME to denote the path to the JBoss EAP installation. When you encounter this value in a README file, be sure to replace it with the actual path to your installations.

System Requirements

The applications these projects produce are designed to be run on JBoss EAP Application Server 10.

All you need to build these projects is Java 8.0 (Java SDK 1.8) or later and Maven 3.1.1 or later.

Start the Red Hat SSO Server

By default the Red Hat SSO Server uses the same ports as the JBoss EAP Server. To run the quickstarts you can either run the Red Hat SSO Server on a separate host (machine, VM, Docker, etc..) or on different ports.

To start the Red Hat SSO server on a separate host:

1. Open a terminal on the separate machine and navigate to the root of the Red Hat SSO server directory.

2. The following shows the command to start the Red Hat SSO server:

   For Linux:   RHSSO_HOME/bin/standalone.sh -b 0.0.0.0
   For Windows: RHSSO_HOME\bin\standalone.bat -b 0.0.0.0
   

3. The URL of the Red Hat SSO server will be http://<HOSTNAME>:8080 (replace <HOSTNAME> with the hostname of the separate host).

To start the Red Hat SSO server on different ports:

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the root of the Red Hat SSO server directory.

2. The following shows the command to start the Red Hat SSO server:

   For Linux:   RHSSO_HOME/bin/standalone.sh -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=100
   For Windows: RHSSO_HOME\bin\standalone.bat -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=100
   

3. The URL of the Red Hat SSO server will be http://localhost:8180

Add Admin User

Open the main page for the Red Hat SSO server (localhost:8180 or http://<HOSTNAME>:8080). If this is a new installation of Red Hat SSO server you will be instructed to create an initial admin user. To continue with the quickstarts you need to do this prior to continuing.

Create Roles and User

To be able to use the examples you need to create some roles as well as at least one sample user. To do first this open the Red Hat SSO admin console (localhost:8180/auth/admin or http://<HOSTNAME>:8080/auth/admin) and login with the admin user you created in the add admin user section.

Start by creating a user role:

• Select Roles from the menu
• Click Add Role
• Enter user as Role Name
• Click Save

Next create a user:

• Select Users from the menu
• Click Add user
• Enter any values you want for the user
• Click Save
• Select Credentials from the tabs
• Enter a password in New Password and Password Confirmation
• Click on the toggle to disable Temporary
• Click Reset Password
• Click Role Mappings
• Select user under Available Roles and click Add selected

As an alternative to manually creating the role and user you can use the partial import feature in the admin console and import the file config/partial-import.json into your realm.

One more step, if you want to access the examples with the admin user you need to add the user role to admin user:

• Select Users from the menu
• Click View all users
• Click Edit for admin user
• Click Role Mappings
• Select user under Available Roles and click Add selected

Start and Configure the JBoss EAP Server

Before starting the JBoss EAP Server start by extracting the Red Hat SSO client adapter into it.

For JBoss EAP 7.1.0 extract keycloak-wildfly-adapter-${project.version}.zip into EAP_HOME.

If you plan to try the SAML examples you also need the SAML JBoss EAP adapter. To do this for JBoss EAP 7.1.0 keycloak-saml-wildfly-adapter-dist-${project.version}.zip into EAP_HOME.

The next step is to start JBoss EAP server:

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

2. Use the following command to start the JBoss EAP server:

   For Linux:   EAP_HOME/bin/standalone.sh
   For Windows: EAP_HOME\bin\standalone.bat
   

3. To install the Red Hat SSO adapter run the following commands:

   For Linux:
   
     EAP_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh -c --file=EAP_HOME/bin/adapter-install.cli
     EAP_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh -c --command=:reload
   
   For Windows:
   
    EAP_HOME\bin\jboss-cli.bat -c --file=EAP_HOME\bin\adapter-install.cli
    EAP_HOME\bin\jboss-cli.bat -c --command=:reload
   

4. If you plan to try the SAML examples you also need to install Red Hat SSO SAML adapter:

   For Linux:
   
     EAP_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh -c --file=EAP_HOME/bin/adapter-install-saml.cli
     EAP_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh -c --command=:reload
   
   For Windows:
   
     EAP_HOME\bin\jboss-cli.bat -c --file=EAP_HOME\bin\adapter-install-saml.cli
     EAP_HOME\bin\jboss-cli.bat -c --command=:reload
   

Examples

• app-angular2 - Angular 2 application that invokes the example service. Requires service example to be deployed.
• app-authz-rest-employee - SpringBoot REST Service Protected Using Keycloak Authorization Services
• app-jee-html5 - HTML5 application that invokes the example service. Requires service example to be deployed.
• app-jee-jsp - JSP application packaged that invokes the example service. Requires service example to be deployed.
• app-profile-jee-html5 - HTML5 application that displays user profile and token details.
• app-profile-jee-jsp - JSP application that displays user profile and token details.

• app-profile-saml-jee-jsp - JSP application that uses SAML and displays user profile.
• app-springboot - SpringBoot application that is secured with Keycloak. Requires SpringBoot Service.
• service-jee-jaxrs - JAX-RS Service with public and protected endpoints.
• service-nodejs - Node.js Service with public and protected endpoints.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Probable Cause	Possible Solution
Some required files are missing / Some Enforcer rules have failed	Client adapter config is missing	Add client adapter installation file to config directory as specified in quickstart README.md
Unknown authentication mechanism KEYCLOAK	OpenID Connect client adapter missing	Install OpenID Connect adapter as specified in the Start and Configure the WildFly Server section
Unknown authentication mechanism KEYCLOAK-SAML	SAML client adapter missing	Install SAML adapter as specified in the Start and Configure the WildFly Server section
Failed to invoke service: 404 Not Found	Service not deployed, or service URL not correct	Deploy service or change the URL for the service as specified in the quickstart README
Failed to invoke service: Request failed message with no error code	CORS not enabled	Most likely cause is that you've deployed the HTML5 application to a different host than the service, if so the solution is to add CORS support to the service. See the README for the service for how to enable.
Page displays: Forbidden	Authenticated user is missing a role required to access the url	This can happen if you fail to add user role to admin user as instructed in Create Roles and User.
