Actuator endpoints throwing security error

[baburajpb]

When running Management sample or using Steeltoe.Management.CloudFoundry to enable Actuator endpoints Server returns the following error.

{
"security_error": "Application id is not available"
}

I think the reason is when running locally ICloudFoundryOptions.ApplicationId is set to null. Not sure how to set it correctly.

The labels on this github issue will be updated when the story is started.

Hi @baburajpb,

It sounds like VCAP_APPLICATION isn't being added to your app configuration - If you call either AddCloudFoundry or AddConfigServer inside ConfigureAppConfiguration in your startup.cs it should work (a sample here: https://github.com/SteeltoeOSS/Samples/blob/dev/MusicStore/src/MusicStoreUI/Program.cs) . I'm not sure why this isn't in the docs, I'll make sure we get them updated soon

Hi @TimHess

I am using AddConfigServer(env.EnvironmentName) similar to MusicStoreUI/Program.cs in my App and it is not working. I did push my app to PWS and every other thing like reading config from ConfigServer bounded, connecting to MySql service using Steeltoe connectors etc. is working except Actuator endpoints.

I tried to run Management sample https://github.com/SteeltoeOSS/Samples/tree/dev/Management/src/AspDotNetCore/CloudFoundry as is and it gives me same error {"security_error":"Application id is not available"}. I'll try setting up MusicStore app and see what is it gives.

@baburajpb I'm trying to recreate your problem but having problems doing so... I just pushed the Steeltoe Management Sample (to a linux cell) and it seems to work OK...

Can you make sure the user id you are logged in with has SpaceDeveloper permissions?
