In production environments it is recommendet to connect Smartfacts directly to your OIDC provider. In this case no Keycloak and no CAMP component is deployed. There will be no pre-provisioning of users. As soon as a user logs in into Smartfacts, he will be provisioned on the fly.

Configuration of the OIDC client or application in your OIDC provider

Add valid Redirect URIs

In the client of you OIDC provider, add the following URLs to the list of valid redirect URLs.

https://smartfacts.<domain>
https://smartfacts.<domain>/login
https://genoslc.<domain>/login/oauth2/code/custom
https://genoslc-jama.<domain>/login/oauth2/code/custom
(if you use OIDC to Jama Connect)
https://genoslc-codebeamer.<domain>/login/oauth2/code/custom
(if you use OIDC to Codebeamer)

Info
This list uses the default sub domains of Smartfacts. If you changed sub domains in your deployment, please adopt the values accordingly.

Set Grant Type

Set the grant type to authorization_code

Configure the deployment

Disable deployment of CAMP and Keycloak components

To disable the deployment of the CAMP and the Keycloak, add the following two lines in the values file:

...

Make sure, that you do not already have section for camp and Keykloak in your values file. If so, replace them.

Configure the connection to the OIDC provider for Smartfacts

In the “global” global section of your values file add the information of you OIDC provider:

Code Block

  secrets:
    oauth2:
      wellknown: "https://<OIDC provider>/auth/realms/<REALM>/.well-known/openid-configuration"
    smartfacts:
      clientId: "<OIDC client>"
      clientSecret: "<OIDC client secret>"
  identity:
    OIDC_ISSUER: "https://<OIDC provider>/auth/realms/<REALM>"
  url:
    spa:
      scopes: "sf:bpm" # state the scopes here in a space separated list
      nonce: "false"
      state: "false" # if true, Smartfacts generates a state parameter while getting the token from the OIDC provider.

In lines 3 and 8 replace the placeholder <OIDC provider> with the adress of you OIDC provider and the placeholder <REALM> with the name of the realm in your OIDC provider

...

In line 6 replace the placeholder <OIDC client secret> with the client secret of the client.

Info
With Azure AD as OIDC provider it is necessary to add the path “https://graph.microsoft.com/oidc/userinfo“ to the property spa.cspConf.externalUrls. This will add the URL to the list of allowed CORS origins.

Configure the connection to the OIDC provider for the OSLC Connector for Smartfacts

To connect the OSLC Connector for Smartfacts with your OIDC provider, add the following properties in the genoslc.env section of your values file for the Smartfacts deployment, as seen below:

Code Block
authorizationUri: "<Authorization URL of identity provider>" tokenUri: "<Token URI of identity provider>" userInfoUri: "<UserInfo URI of identity provider>"

Replace the placeholder in authorizationUri, tokenUri and userInfoUri with the appropriate URLs of your identity provider instance

Adopting to custom token claims

If necessary, you can adopt the deployment to use custom token claims. To do this, use the following properties in your values file:

Code Block
global secrets: oauth2: tokenClaims: id: "" email: "" name: "" lastName: "" givenName: ""

Defaults, if no settings are provided:

Property	AzureAD/EntraId	KeyCloak
id	`[token]:sub`	`[userInfo]:sub`
email	`[userInfo]:email`	`[userInfo]:email`
name	`[userInfo]:username`	`[userInfo]:username`
lastName	`[userInfo]:familyName,[userInfo]:family_name`	`[userInfo]:familyName,[userInfo]:family_name`
givenName	`[userInfo]:given_name`	`[userInfo]:given_name`

Configure access rules

In a second step access rules and optional groups must be configured. To do so create a new text file “group-rules.yaml” and paste the following text into it:

Code Block

global:
  lcam:
    rules:
      - claimgroupName: "http://smartfacts.com/claims/emailaddressSmartfacts Users"
        valueclaim: "email"
         - "@"value:
         groupName: Smartfacts- Users"@"
        groupLicence:
          - "LIC_SMARTFACTS_USER"
        accountName: "Smartfacts Account"
      - claimgroupName: "http://smartfacts.com/claims/emailaddressAccount Administrators"
        valueclaim: "email"
        value:
- accound.administrator@your.domain         groupName: Account Administrators- "account.administrator@your.domain"
        groupLicence:
          - "LIC_SMARTFACTS_USER"
        accountName: "Smartfacts Account"

To adopt the rules to your environment, configure the necessary information in the file.

Claim sources

Practical experience has shown that the values of one and the same claim can differ in the token and in the UserInfo. To take this into account and to simplify configuration, Smartfacts allows you to specify the source of a claim.

By prefixing the qualifier [token]: or [userinfo]:, you can determine from which source the value of a claim should be determined.
If "[token]:" is prefixed, the value of the claim is determined directly from the token.
If "[userinfo]:" is prefixed, the value of the claim is determined from the result of the UserInfo Endpoint of the OIDC provider.

If no qualifier is specified, "[userinfo]:" is implicitly prefixed.

e.g.

- claim: "[token]:email" - claim: "[userinfo]:email"

`Configure Allowed email adresses`

Line 8 is a pattern for all valid email-Adresses of the users. So the value “@” allows all users known by your OIDC provider to login into Smartfacts.

`Configure Account administrators`

Please replace line 13 with the email adress of the person who will be account addministrator. By inserting more lines (all starting with “-”) you can add additional account administrators.

`Redeploy Smartfacts`

For the deployment, additionally state the file “group-rules.yaml“ in the upgrade command.

Code Block
sudo helm upgrade --install --timeout 20m0s smartfacts mid-smartfacts/smartfacts -f values.yaml -f group-rules.yaml --version 4.17.85-genoslcv2 -n smartfacts --create-namespace
