ID Authentication Internal Service Developers Guide

Overview

  • Internal Authentication Service: The authentication service used by internal MOSIP modules such as Resident Service, Registration Processor, and Registration Client to authenticate individuals.

  • Internal OTP Service: used by Resident Service to generate an OTP for an Individual for performing OTP Authentication.

  • Authentication Transaction History Service: used by Resident Service to retrieve a paginated list of authentication and OTP Request transactions for an individual.

The documentation here will guide you through the prerequisites required for the developer's setup.

Software setup

Below is a list of tools required in ID Repository Services:

  1. JDK 11

  2. Any IDE (like Eclipse or IntelliJ IDEA)

  3. Apache Maven (zip folder)

  4. pgAdmin

  5. Postman

  6. Git

  7. Notepad++ (optional)

  8. lombok.jar (file)

  9. settings.xml (document)

Follow the steps below to set up ID Repository Services on your local system:

1. Download lombok.jar and settings.xml from here.

2. Unzip Apache Maven and move the unzipped folder in C:\Program Files and settings.xml to "conf" folder C:\Program Files\apache-maven-3.8.4\conf.

3. Install Eclipse, open the lombok.jar file, wait for some time until it completes the scan for the Eclipse IDE, and then click Install/Update.

4. Check the Eclipse installation folder C:\Users\userName\eclipse\jee-2021-12\eclipse to see if the lombok.jar is added. By doing this, you don't have to add the dependency of lombok in your pom.xml file separately, as it is auto-configured by Eclipse.

5. Configure the JDK (Standard VM) with your Eclipse by traversing through Preferences → Java → Installed JREs.

Code setup

For the code setup, clone the repository and follow the guidelines mentioned in the Code Contributions.

Importing and building a project

  1. Open the project folder where pom.xml is present.

  2. Open the command prompt from the same folder.

  3. Run the command mvn clean install -Dgpg.skip=true to build the project and wait for the build to complete successfully.

  4. After building a project, open Eclipse and select Import Projects → Maven → Existing Maven Projects → Next → Browse to project directory → Finish.

  5. After successfully importing of project, update the project by right-clicking on Project → Maven → Update Project.

Environment setup

1. For the environment setup, you need an external JAR that is available here with different versions. (E.g.: You can download kernel-auth-adapter.jar and add to the project Libraries → Classpath → Add External JARs → Select Downloaded JAR → Add → Apply and Close).

2. Clone mosip-config repository.

3. Create an empty folder inside the mosip-config with sandbox-local name and then copy and paste all config files inside sandbox-local folder except .gitignore, README and LICENSE.

4. As ID Authentication is using two property files, id-authentication-default and application-default, you will have to configure them according to your environment. The same files are available here for reference.

Properties to be updated:

application-default.properties

  • mosip.mosip.resident.client.secret = <current_password>.

  • db.dbuser.password=<password>.

  • mosip.kernel.xsdstorage-uri=file:///home/user/Desktop/tspl/mosip-config/sandbox-local/(i.e. sandbox-local folder location).

  • Comment this out auth.server.admin.issuer.internal.uri in application-default.properties file because you already have this auth.server.admin.issuer.uri, and hence there is no need for auth.server.admin.issuer.internal.uri.

  • mosip.identity.mapping-file=<Path_to_identity_mapping_json_file>. (For Example: file:///home/user/Desktop/tspl/mosip-config/sandbox-local/identity-mapping.json)

id-authentication-default.properties

  • ......

  • ......

5. To run the server, two files are required- kernel-config-server.jar and config-server-start.bat.

6. Put both the files in the same folder and change the location attribute to sandbox-local folder in config-server-start.bat file and also check the version of kernel-config-server.jar towards the end of the command.

Example:

java -jar -Dspring.profiles.active=native -Dspring.cloud.config.server.native.search-locations=file:C:\Users\myDell\mosipProject\mosip-config\sandbox-local -Dspring.cloud.config.server.accept-empty=true -Dspring.cloud.config.server.git.force-pull=false -Dspring.cloud.config.server.git.cloneOnStart=false -Dspring.cloud.config.server.git.refreshRate=0 kernel-config-server-1.2.0-20201016.134941-57.jar.

7. Run the server by opening the config-server-start.bat file.

The server should now be up and running.

Below are the configurations to be done in Eclipse:

1. Open Eclipse and run the project for one time as Java application, so that it will create a Java application which you can see in debug configurations and then change its name. (e.g.: project name with the environment - "Auth-Internal-Service-Dev").

2. Open the arguments and pass this -Ddomain.url=dev.mosip.net -Dapplication.base.url=http://localhost:8090 -Dspring.profiles.active=default -Dspring.cloud.config.uri=http://localhost:51000/config -Dspring.cloud.config.label=master in VM arguments.

3. Here, the domain URL represents the environment on which you are working (eg., it can be dev2.mosip.net or qa3.mosip.net).

4. Click Apply and then debug it (starts running).
