Configuration
The EPR loads configuration data from a file (typically backed by a Kubernetes config map). If the service is unable to retrieve the configuration data, it will not start. Refer to the configuration for details.
Service configuration structure
The recommended configuration format is YAML. The below sections describe the officially supported configuration options that influence various aspects of the service functionality. The service may support options other than the ones listed below, but those are not a part of the public API and may be changed or deleted at any time.
General service configuration
EPR uses a standard Spring Boot server.port
property to configure the port to expose the REST API at.
server:
port: <unsigned short integer> # Server port used to expose the REST API at
Kaa applications
Many Kaa services can be configured for different behavior depending on the application version of the endpoint the processed data relates to.
This is called appversion-specific behavior and is handled in service configurations under kaa.applications
.
Alternatively, the application-specific configuration can be sourced from Kaa Tekton.
See the Tekton configuration section to find out how to configure such integration.
Despite EPR currently does not support any appversion-specific configurations, it uses the application and appversion names to validate the API calls and the protocol data.
kaa:
applications:
<application 1 name>: # Kaa application name
versions:
<application 1 version 1 name>: # Kaa application version name
Tekton
EPR supports integration with Kaa Tekton for centralized application configuration management. The below configuration options set up the integration interface.
kaa:
tekton:
enabled: <boolean> # Enables Tekton integration. False by default. Also can be set with the KAA_TEKTON_ENABLED environment variable.
url: <string> # URL of the Tekton service. "http://tekton" by default. Also can be set with the KAA_TEKTON_URL environment variable.
scmp.consumer:
provider.service-instance.name: <string> # Service instance name of the Tekton service. "tekton" by default. Also can be set with the KAA_SCMP_CONSUMER_PROVIDER_SERVICE_INSTANCE_NAME environment variable.
Data persistence interface
EPR uses Spring Data MongoDB configuration. Refer to the corresponding documentation for the list of supported configuration options.
NOTE For security reasons, username and password must be sourced from the environment variables.
NATS
The below parameters configure EPR’s connection to NATS. Note that for security reasons NATS username and password are sourced from the environment variables.
nats:
urls: <comma separated list of URL> # NATS connection URLs
Communication service interface
kaa:
epr:
communication-service:
service-instance:
name: <service instance name> # Instance name of the communication service
Authentication and authorization
EPR REST API security is implemented according to the OAuth2 protocol with the UMA profile.
The protection is controlled with the following configuration options:
security:
ignored: <value> # Controls authentication and authorization on REST API endpoints.
# Possible values: '/**' to disable security or 'none' to enable.
oauth2:
client:
clientId: <clientId> # Client ID on whose behalf the requests will be made.
clientSecret: <secret> # Client secret on whose behalf the requests will be made.
accessTokenUri: <URI> # An OAuth2-compliant Token Endpoint for obtaining tokens via the 'Implicit Flow',
# 'Direct Grants', or 'Client Grants'.
# E.g. "https://your-url-to-auth-server/auth/realms/realm-a/protocol/openid-connect/token"
resourceUri: <URI> # An UMA-compliant Resource Registration Endpoint which resource servers can use
# to manage their protected resources and scopes.
# E.g. "https://your-url-to-auth-server/auth/realms/realm-a/authz/protection/resource_set"
resource:
userInfoUri: <URI> # URL endpoint for the User Info service described in the OIDC specification.
# E.g. "https://your-url-to-auth-server/auth/realms/realm-a/protocol/openid-connect/userinfo"
Management
EPR monitoring and management implementation is based on the Spring Boot Actuator. Refer to the corresponding documentation for the list of supported configuration options.
Logging
By default, EPR uses Spring Boot logging configuration with logback for logging. Refer to the corresponding documentation for the list of supported configuration options.
Built-in configuration profiles
For your convenience, EPR comes with a default built-in configuration profile.
Built-in profiles are optimized for a Kubernetes-based production deployment. They do not define any Kaa applications—you have to configure them for a specific Kaa-based solution.
