Connecting the WebUI to an existing cloud

[thisismana]

Hello,

I got stuck while trying to connect the webUI to our cloudfoundry installation. I changed a lot of properties in the uhuru_webui.yml but still cannot login. I am getting this error:

{"timestamp":1394724369.9763494,"message":"Error while trying to add Owner role to the cloud controller admin for sys-org and monitoring - error response:[

The uaa-URL should be correct. The user I picked is admin. The usersecret is the admin's password. Is that correct or do I need to provide some other "secret"?

Hi Thisismana,

We are trying to figure out what the problem is.

Hi Thisismana,

To configure uaa in uhuru-webui.yml you need to create a new uaa client with this properties(or use a existing one):

• id: webui
• scope: cloud_controller.read,cloud_controller.write,cloud_controller.admin,openid,password.write,scim.read,scim.write
• authorized-grant-types: client_credentials,password,authorization_code
• authorities: uaa.admin,uaa.resource,tokens.read,scim.read,scim.write,password.write,cloud_controller.read,cloud_controller.write,cloud_controller.admin

You can do this in various ways. One of the them would be adding the following in your cf deployment manifest under uaa: clients:: clients: webui: override: true secret: webui_client_secret authorized-grant-types: client_credentials,password,authorization_code scope: cloud_controller.read,cloud_controller.write,cloud_controller.admin,openid,password.write,scim.read,scim.write # scopes that can be requested to impersonate a user authorities: uaa.admin,uaa.resource,tokens.read,scim.read,scim.write,password.write,cloud_controller.read,cloud_controller.write,cloud_controller.admin # scopes granted to the client autoapprove: true

And the you need to modify the following properties in the uhuru-webui.yml configuration file:

uaa: url: http://uaa.mycloud.com client_id: webui client_secret: webui_client_secret
