This repository is not in use / under maintenance anymore. User management is done with API calls directly to Keycloak Server.

Account Backend

This backend service allows to perform user account related tasks on Keycloak. It uses the Keycloak Admin API. Some endpoints require a valid JWT as Bearer token to be sent with the request.

Setup

For more Aam Digital setup related documentation have a look at the ndb-setup repository.

A independent deployment can be done via docker

docker run aamdigital/account-ms:latest

or directly through npm

npm install && npm start

In both cases the following environment variables should be defined. These can also be written to the .env file.

• CORS domain from which requests are accepted, e.g. https://*.aam-digital.com. Default * (all domains)
• KEYCLOAK_URL URL to the keycloak instance
• KEYCLOAK_ADMIN name of an admin account for the master realm. Default admin
• KEYCLOAK_PASSWORD password for the admin account
• SENTRY_DSN (optional) the Sentry DSN. If defined, error messages are sent to the sentry.io application monitoring & logging service.

Usage

After starting the application the API documentation can be found under /api. All available endpoints are described there.
