Authorization Service

The Authorization service provides basic authorization for all other datawave microservices. Authorization is a single endpoint that returns a signed JSON Web Token (JWT) that represents a list of DatawaveUser objects. Authorization may be performed by a trusted entity (i.e., a server) on behalf of another user or chain of servers leading to a user.

The Authorization service caches authorized users and also provides an administrative rest API to query and manage the cache.

When the fields 'email' and 'login' were added to DatawaveUser, we created V2 of the authorization and oauth API methods to ensure that microservices using the pre-change authorization-api could still deserialize the JSON or JWT serialized DatawaveUser when they call the V1 methods.

Authorization API V1

https://host:port/authorization/v1/

Method	Operation	Description	Request Body
GET	authorize	Authorizes the calling user	N/A
GET	whoami	Returns details about the calling user	N/A

Authorization API V2

https://host:port/authorization/v2/

OAuth API V2

https://host:port/authorization/v2/oauth/

Method	Operation	Description	Request Body

GET	user	Returns details about primary current (by token or PKI) user	N/A
GET	users	Returns details about all current (by token or PKI) proxied users	N/A

Admin API

Users must possess the Administrator role to access any of the admin methods.

Getting Started

1. First, refer to services/README for launching the config service.

2. Launch this service as follows, with the mock profile to leverage test PKI materials and associated user configuration (see authorization-mock.yml).

   java -jar service/target/authorization-service*-exec.jar --spring.profiles.active=dev,mock
   

3. Ensure that the testUser.p12 (password: ChangeIt) cert is imported into your browser, and then visit any of the following:

   • https://localhost:8643/authorization/v1/authorize
   • https://localhost:8643/authorization/v1/whoami
   • https://localhost:8643/authorization/v1/admin/listAll
   • https://localhost:8643/authorization/v1/admin/listUser?username=test
   • https://localhost:8643/authorization/v1/admin/listUsersMatching?username=test
   • Perform PUT and POST API operations with your preferred HTTP client, as desired

   See sample_configuration/authorization-dev.yml and configure as desired
