HMDA Platform Auth

Archived

Active development moved to https://github.com/cfpb/hmda-platform/tree/master/auth

Former README

This project provides OpenID Connect-based authentication and authorization services for all HMDA APIs and web applications with identity requirements. This currently includes the hmda-platform and hmda-platform-ui projects, though may support more in the future.

Technologies

  • Keycloak - Open-source identity management, with full OpenID Connect support.
  • mod_auth_openidc - Open-source OpenID Connect authentication and authorization proxy.

Dependencies

This project has been fully Docker-ized. Docker is all you need to launch the full stack!

Installation

This project is intended to be run from hmda-platform's Docker Compose setup, configured in hmda-platform/docker-compose.yml. Please see the instructions in that repo for details on how to launch the system.

Config

Automated

The Keycloak Docker image comes with the default "master" (admin) realm, and a "hmda" realm configured for integrating with the oidc-client webapp. If you want to persist changes to "hmda", edit keycloak/import/hmda-realm.json. This file is copied in during the Docker built, and applied to Keycloak via its Import/Export functionality.

Integrate your own app

When integrating with your own app, the following are the most important configs. Defaults should work for the rest of the usual OIDC settings.

Services

The following services are included in the Docker Compose config.

Keycloak

Keycloak acts as an OpenID Connect Identity Provider. It is available at:

Auth Proxy

Secure API Gateway protecting HMDA APIs with auth requirements
