Look at shortening the way to authenticate into the Aporeto UI #578

Open stewartshea opened 4 years ago

Logging into the Aporeto UI is annoying to developers when they have to insert the SSO realm. It would be nice to have a shortcut that can shorten this process.

[ ] add a link to apoctl login with the full path
[ ] add docs for saving favorites

We do have a default provider configured and so currently the only required information is: -> Sign into OIDC provider -> Putting in the namespace of /bcgov or the desired namespace.

I've reached out to Aporeto to see if there is any other way to shorten the process.

Once prod is updated (on the Aporeto side), there will be a way. Writeup is here:

The new UI will remember the last configuration, but still requires /bcgov in the namespace field.

They've also introduced a way to save previous namespaces as shortcuts once you're logged in.
