Role-based access control behind a proxy in an OAuth access delegation

Role-based access control behind a proxy in an OAuth access delegation

By Siddhartha De

In my previous article, I demonstrated the complete implementation for enabling OAuth-based authorization in NGINX with Keycloak, where NGINX acts as a relaying party for the authorization code grant. NGNIX can also act as a reverse proxy server for back-end applications (e.g., Tomcat, Open Liberty, WildFly, etc.), which can be hosted on an enterprise application server.

APIs as a Product: Get the value out of your APIs

APIs as a Product: Get the value out of your APIs

nmasse
By Nicolas Massé

APIs continue to spread, as seen in this 2019 report from ProgrammableWeb, which shows a 30% increase over last year’s growth rate. More regulations are enforcing the use of APIs to open up companies and foster innovation. Think of the Payment Services Directive version two (PSD2), open banking, and the public sector releasing 0pen data APIs. With such an abundance of APIs, it becomes increasingly crucial to get the value out of your APIs and differentiate yourself from the growing competition. It’s time to design and manage your APIs as a Product.

Red Hat continues to increase the features available for users looking to implement a 100% open source, event-driven architecture (EDA) through running Apache Kafka on Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The Red Hat Integration Q4 release provides new features and capabilities, including ones aimed at simplifying usage and deployment of the AMQ streams distribution of Apache Kafka.

Domain-specific Prometheus metrics with Red Hat Process Automation Manager and Decision Manager

Domain-specific Prometheus metrics with Red Hat Process Automation Manager and Decision Manager

Since version 7.4, Red Hat Process Automation Manager (RHPAM) and Red Hat Decision Manager (RHDM) provide support for monitoring various metrics through Prometheus. The platform’s Execution Server (also known as KIE-Server) provides a Prometheus extension which, if enabled, exposes metrics like the number of containers deployed, the response time of rule and decision evaluations, etc.

In this example, we will use the RHDM 7 Insurance Pricing Demo as our base project. This demo contains a simple Decision Model and Notation (DMN) model that calculates the insurance price based on the age of the customer and whether the customer had previous incidents. The GitHub repository for this demo can be found here and contains detailed instructions on how to set up and run the demo.

How to secure microservices with Red Hat Single Sign-On, Fuse, and 3scale

How to secure microservices with Red Hat Single Sign-On, Fuse, and 3scale

rabreu
By raphael abreu

In this article, we’ll cover microservice security concepts by using protocols such as OpenID Connect with the support of Red Hat Single Sign-On and 3scale. Working with a microservice-based architecture, user identity, and access control in a distributed, in-depth form must be carefully designed. Here, the integration of these tools will be detailed, step-by-step, in a realistic view.

This article exemplifies the use of tools that can securely run your businesses, avoiding using homemade solutions, and protecting your services by using an API gateway, preventing your applications from being exposed to the public network. The use of an API gateway also provides additional access control, monetization, and analytics.

Jakarta EE: What’s in store for Enterprise JavaBeans?

Jakarta EE: What’s in store for Enterprise JavaBeans?

Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) has been very important to the Java EE ecosystem and promoted many robust solutions to enterprise problems. Besides that, in the past when integration techniques were not so advanced, EJB did great work with remote EJB, integrating many Java EE applications. However, remote EJB is not necessary anymore, and we have many techniques and tools that are better for doing that. So, does EJB still have a place in this new cloud-native world?

Before writing this post, I did an informal survey via Twitter poll to hear what the community thinks about it. In this article, I’ll share the results of the survey as well as some discussion that emerged as part of the poll. Additionally, I’ll share my opinions on the topic.

Install Red Hat 3scale and configure tenants with 7 simple commands

Install Red Hat 3scale and configure tenants with 7 simple commands

hviecili
By Henrique Viecili

A couple weeks ago I was faced with the challenge of installing Red Hat 3scale and configuring its tenants using solely the command line — no GUI allowed. This is a rather interesting use case, so I decided to write this article and show how to do it with just seven commands!

(By the way, I also decided to include Red Hat Single Sign-On (SSO) in the mix because I want my APIs to use OpenID Connect (OIDC) for authentication. But I’ll leave those commands to a future article.)

By Karina Varela

The Quarkus project is becoming quite popular among developers. Quarkus provides a fast-dev environment, and it has already a set of libraries, standards, and frameworks that are made available through extensions like RestEasy, Panache, SmallRye, Keycloak, and Kafka. Additionally, you can start using Kogito today to create intelligent Quarkus applications.
