Test Credentials
Stroom and Stroom-Proxy come with a set of hard coded Open ID credentials that are intended for use in test/demo environments.
These credentials mean that the _test stroom docker stack can function out of the box with Stroom-Proxy able to authenticate with Stroom.
Warning
These credentials are publicly available and therefore totally insecure. If you are configuring a production instance of Stroom or Stroom-Proxy you must not use these credentials.
To correctly configure secure authentication in Stroom and Stroom-Proxy see Internal IDP or External IDP.
Configuring the test credentials
To configure Stroom to use these hard-coded credentials you need to set the following property:
security:
authentication:
openId:
identityProviderType: TEST_CREDENTIALS
When you start the Stroom instance you will see a large banner message in the logs that will include the token that can be used in API calls or by Stroom-proxy for its feed status checks.
To configure Stroom-Proxy to use these credentials set the following:
feedStatus:
apiKey: "THE_TOKEN_OBTAINED_FROM_STROOM'S_LOGS"
security:
authentication:
openId:
identityProviderType: NO_IDP
