5 RIC Dashboard Configuration and Deployment
6 ==========================================
8 This documents the configuration and deployment of the O-RAN SC RIC
9 Dashboard web application, which is often deployed together with the
15 The application requires the following configuration files::
21 In the usual Kubernetes deployment, all file contents are provided by
24 Application Properties
25 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
27 The file ``application.yaml`` must be provided when the application
28 is launched, either in the current working directory or in a ``config``
29 subdirectory (latter is preferred). The Helm chart that deploys the
30 application should mount this file appropriately.
32 Many properties have default values cached within the application, in
33 file ``src/main/resources/application.yaml``. Properties with default
34 values do NOT need to be repeated in a deployment-specific configuration.
35 Properties without default values MUST be specified in a
36 deployment-specific configuration.
38 The properties are listed below in alphabetical order.
42 Application Manager URL prefix. No useful default. Usually a service
43 name like ``http://ricplt-entry/appmgr``
47 Application Manager URL suffix. Default is ``/ric/v1``.
49 ``caasingress.aux.url.prefix``
51 CAAS-Ingress application URL prefix for the RIC Auxiliary cluster. No useful default.
53 ``caasingress.aux.url.suffix``
55 CAAS-Ingress application URL suffix for the RIC Auxiliary cluster. Default is ``api``.
57 ``caasingress.insecure``
59 Flag whether to disable SSL/TLS certificate and hostname verification.
60 If true, the dashboard can communicate with a CAAS-Ingress endpoint that
61 uses self-signed certificates.
63 ``caasingress.plt.url.prefix``
65 CAAS-Ingress application URL prefix for the RIC Platform cluster. No useful default.
67 ``caasingress.plt.url.suffix``
69 CAAS-Ingress application URL suffix for the RIC-PLT cluster. Default is ``api``.
73 E2 Manager URL prefix. No useful default. Usually a service name like
74 ``http://ricplt-entry/e2mgr``
78 E2 Manager URL prefix. Default is ``/v1``.
82 Sleep period for mock methods in milliseconds. This mimics slow
83 endpoints. Default is ``0``.
87 Application name expected at ONAP portal. Default is ``RIC Dashboard``
89 ``portalapi.decryptor``
91 Java class that decrypts ciphertext from Portal. Default is
92 ``org.oransc.ric.portal.dashboard.portalapi.PortalSdkDecryptorAes``.
94 ``portalapi.password``
96 REST password expected at ONAP portal. No default value.
98 ``portalapi.security``
100 Boolean flag whether the Dashboard limits access to users (browsers)
101 that present security tokens set by the ONAP Portal. If false, no
102 access control is performed, which is only appropriate for isolated
105 ``portalapi.usercookie``
107 Name of request cookie with user ID. Default is ``UserId``.
109 ``portalapi.username``
111 REST user name expected at ONAP portal. No default value.
113 ``ricinstances.regions``
115 List of RIC region entries. Each region has a name and a list of RIC
116 instances. See the application.yaml file for an example.
120 Port where the Tomcat server listens for requests. Default is ``8080``.
124 Path of file that stores application statistic details. Default is ``dashboard-stats.json``.
128 Path of file that stores user details. Default is ``dashboard-users.json``.
134 The file ``key.properties`` must be provided on the Java classpath for
135 the Spring-Boot application, as required by the EPSDK-FW library. The
136 Helm chart for the application should mount this file appropriately.
137 A sample file is in directory ``src/test/resources``.
139 The file must contain the following entries, listed here in
144 Encryption key used by the EPSDK-FW library. No default value.
150 The file ``portal.properties`` must be provided on the Java classpath
151 for the application, as required by the EPSDK-FW library. The Helm
152 chart for the application should mount this file appropriately. A
153 sample file is in directory ``src/test/resources``.
155 The file must contain the following entries, listed here in
158 ``ecomp_redirect_url``
160 Portal URL that is reachable by a user's browser. This is a value
162 ``https://portal.api.simpledemo.onap.org:30225/ONAPPORTAL/login.htm``
166 Portal REST URL that is reachable by the Dashboard back-end.
167 This is a value like ``http://portal-app.onap:8989/ONAPPORTAL/auxapi``
169 ``portal.api.impl.class``
171 Java class name. No default value. Value must be
172 ``org.oransc.ric.portal.dashboard.portalapi.PortalRestCentralServiceImpl``
174 ``role_access_centralized``
176 Selector for role access. No default value. Value must be ``remote``.
180 Unique key assigned by ONAP Portal to the RIC Dashboard application.
187 A production server requires the configuration files listed above.
188 All files should be placed in a ``config`` directory. That name is
189 important; Spring automatically searches that directory for the
190 ``application.yaml`` file. Further, that directory can easily be
191 placed on the Java classpath so the additional files can be found at
195 On-Board Dashboard to ONAP Portal
196 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
198 When on-boarding the Dashboard to the ONAP Portal the administrator
199 must supply the following information about the deployed instance:
201 - Dashboard URL that is reachable by a user's browser. The domain of
202 this host name must match the Portal URL that is similarly reachable
203 by a user's browser for cookie-based authentication to function as
204 expected. This should be a value like
205 ``http://dashboard.simpledemo.onap.org:8080``
206 - Dashboard REST URL that is reachable by the Portal back-end server.
207 This can be a host name or an IP address, because it does not use
208 cookie-based authentication. This must be a URL with suffix "/api/v3"
209 for example ``http://192.168.1.1:8080/api/v3``.
211 The Dashboard server only listens on a single port, so the examples
212 above both use the same port number. Different port numbers might be
213 required if an ingress controller or other proxy server is used.
215 After the on-boarding process is complete, the administrator must
216 enter values from the Portal for the following properties explained
219 - ``portalapi.password``
220 - ``portalapi.username``
226 After creating, populating and mounting Kubernetes config maps
227 appropriately, launch the server with this command-line invocation to
228 include the ``config`` directory on the Java classpath::
230 java -cp config:target/ric-dash-be-2.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar \
231 -Dloader.main=org.oransc.ric.portal.dashboard.DashboardApplication \
232 org.springframework.boot.loader.PropertiesLauncher
