Overview

APPC uses the the AAF Shiro OSGI plugin to secure access to ODL web services with AAF.

The AAF shiro plugin is preloaded in the APPC docker image along with a sample cadi.properties file.

Enabling AAF security for APPC

1. update cadi.properties with the correct information for your environment

       properties include:

           hostname= usually machine hostname, should be unique

            aaf_url= AAF instance to connect to

           aaf_id= id used to connect to AAF

           aaf_password= password associated with aaf_id

           cadi_keyfile= keyfile used for password encryption

2. edit aaa-aap-config.xml

       /opt/opendaylight/current/etc/opendaylight/datastore/initial/config/aaa-app-config.xml

   1. swap commenting for tokenAuthRealm

          <main>

              <pair-key>tokenAuthRealm</pair-key>

              <pair-value>org.opendaylight.aaa.shiro.realm.TokenAuthRealm</pair-value>

              <!--         <pair-value>org.onap.aaf.cadi.shiro.AAFRealm</pair-value> -->

          </main>

      To

          <main>

              <pair-key>tokenAuthRealm</pair-key>

              <!--         <pair-value>org.opendaylight.aaa.shiro.realm.TokenAuthRealm</pair-value> -->

              <pair-value>org.onap.aaf.cadi.shiro.AAFRealm</pair-value>

          </main>

      
      

   2. swap urls for urls to be secured by AAF. NOTE: DO THIS FOR ALL URLS USING authcBasic

              <urls>

                  <pair-key>/**</pair-key>

                  <pair-value>authcBasic, roles[admin]</pair-value>

                  <!--         <pair-value>authcBasic, roles[org.onap.appc.odl|odl-api|*]</pair-value> -->

              </urls>

      To

              <urls>

                  <pair-key>/**</pair-key>

                  <!--         <pair-value>authcBasic, roles[admin]</pair-value> -->

                  <pair-value>authcBasic, roles[org.onap.appc.odl|odl-api|*]</pair-value>

              </urls>

         

3. When you save the aaa-app-config.xml shiro should automatically reload the new configuration, if not you may need to restart APPC

Customization

The permissions used to secure urls can be customized.

To customize the permission used for a url:

1. Ensure the permision has been added to AAF

2. Identify the url in the aaa-app-config.xml

3. set the AAF permission to be used in the roles[] for the url

4. Example:

       to use the permission org.onap.appc.admin|*|* for the /auth/** url

        <urls>

           <pair-key>/auth/**</pair-key>

           <pair-value>authcBasic, roles[org.onap.appc.admin|*|*]</pair-value>

       </urls>

Older ODL versions

Older versions of ODL use shiro.ini located in the /etc directory in place of aaa-app-config.xml. The properties used in shiro.ini are the same. When updating the shiro.ini ODL has to be restared for changes to take effect.
