Integration details

A&AI webservices resources and traversal are integrated with AAF through the Cadi filter. The request workflow looks as follows:

  1. The request is authenticated in AAF
  2. The request is authorized through a permission in AAF (see section: A&AI permissions)
  3. If the request passes all the checks (authentication and authorization), it is forwarded to the A&AI servlet which handles the web services.

The AAF model

Permissions in AAF are triplets - type, instance, action.

  • Type: core name of the permission
  • Instance: the object that is being interacted
  • Action: What is happening with this object

Users have roles assigned and each role has permissions.

A&AI permissions

There will be a separate permission for traversal and resources web services. Let's call these permissions org.onap.aai.resources and org.onap.aai.traversal. For now we will not distinguish between different objects we could affect, so the instance will always be "*" meaning everything. Actions will be mapped to HTTP verbs - GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, PATCH.

For a seemless transition to AAF, the first roles we use for our clients will be called org.onap.aai.resources_all and org.onap.aai.traversal_advanced and org.onap.aai.resources_readonly and org.onap.aai.traversal_basic. These roles will be assigned to all users/applications which access A&AI web services.

Role nameMeaning
org.onap.aai.resources_allread + write access to the resources web service
org.onap.aai.resources_readonlyread-only access to the resources web service
org.onap.aai.traversal_advancedapplications may issue basic and advanced queries in the traversal web service
org.onap.aai.traversal_basicapplications may issue only basic queries in the traversal web service
