Fiware: Setting up AuthZForce with idm and pep proxy

Question

I have configured PEP proxy GE and IDM GE, and now Basic authentication works great. Now i want to set up Level 2:Basic authorization system with http verb and resource path checking, and for that i need AuthZForce GE. I installed AuthZForce on same server as IDM, created default domain on authZforce with id 562285a1-8950-11e5-980f-6bf3c4dac98a and configured pep proxy config.js file

config.pep_port = 80;
config.account_host = 'https://192.168.4.180';

config.keystone_host = '192.168.4.180';
config.keystone_port = 5000;

config.app_host = 'localhost';
config.app_port = '8000';

config.azf = {
enabled: true,
host: '192.168.4.180',
port: 8080,
path: '/authzforce/domains/562285a1-8950-11e5-980f-6bf3c4dac98a/pdp'
};

And now when i try to access to some page via curl:

sudo curl -H "X-Auth-Token: vPTru5ikuyLcxf6ujV23V3l4GFNpF5" http://localhost/home/login/

I get this error in the client:

Error in AZF communication

And this error on pep proxy:

PEP Proxy is running on port 80 and IDM is running on 443 port.

What could be a problem? Should all these services be delivered via https or is that irrelevant?

Answer 1

If you use the latest version of the PEP proxy, v5.4 as of now, you can work around this issue by disabling https for the connection to AuthzForce in the config.js file: you set the config.azf.protocol to http instead of https :

config.azf = {
    enabled: true,
    protocol: 'http',
    host: '192.168.4.180',
    port: 8080,
    custom_policy: undefined 
};
