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 A1 Mediator URL prefix. No useful default. Usually a service name
43 like ``http://ricplt-entry/a1mediator``
47 A1 Mediator URL suffix. Default is the empty string.
49 ``anrxapp.url.prefix``
51 ANR Application URL prefix. No useful default. Usually a service name
52 like ``http://ricxapp-entry/anr``
54 ``anrxapp.url.suffix``
56 ANR Application URL suffix. Default is the empty string.
60 Application Manager URL prefix. No useful default. Usually a service
61 name like ``http://ricplt-entry/appmgr``
65 Application Manager URL suffix. Default is ``/ric/v1``.
67 ``caasingress.aux.url.prefix``
69 CAAS-Ingress application URL prefix for the RIC Auxiliary cluster. No useful default.
71 ``caasingress.aux.url.suffix``
73 CAAS-Ingress application URL suffix for the RIC Auxiliary cluster. Default is ``api``.
75 ``caasingress.insecure``
77 Flag whether to disable SSL/TLS certificate and hostname verification.
78 If true, the dashboard can communicate with a CAAS-Ingress endpoint that
79 uses self-signed certificates.
81 ``caasingress.plt.url.prefix``
83 CAAS-Ingress application URL prefix for the RIC Platform cluster. No useful default.
85 ``caasingress.plt.url.suffix``
87 CAAS-Ingress application URL suffix for the RIC-PLT cluster. Default is ``api``.
91 E2 Manager URL prefix. No useful default. Usually a service name like
92 ``http://ricplt-entry/e2mgr``
96 E2 Manager URL prefix. Default is ``/v1``.
100 Sleep period for mock methods in milliseconds. This mimics slow
101 endpoints. Default is ``0``.
103 ``portalapi.appname``
105 Application name expected at ONAP portal. Default is ``RIC Dashboard``
107 ``portalapi.decryptor``
109 Java class that decrypts ciphertext from Portal. Default is
110 ``org.oransc.ric.portal.dashboard.portalapi.PortalSdkDecryptorAes``.
112 ``portalapi.password``
114 REST password expected at ONAP portal. No default value.
116 ``portalapi.security``
118 Boolean flag whether the Dashboard limits access to users (browsers)
119 that present security tokens set by the ONAP Portal. If false, no
120 access control is performed, which is only appropriate for isolated
123 ``portalapi.usercookie``
125 Name of request cookie with user ID. Default is ``UserId``.
127 ``portalapi.username``
129 REST user name expected at ONAP portal. No default value.
133 Port where the Tomcat server listens for requests. Default is ``8080``.
137 Url to the kibana source which visualizes AC App metrics. No default value and needs to be replaced with actual value during deployment time.
141 Path of file that stores user details. Default is ``users.json``.
147 The file ``key.properties`` must be provided on the Java classpath for
148 the Spring-Boot application, as required by the EPSDK-FW library. The
149 Helm chart for the application should mount this file appropriately.
150 A sample file is in directory ``src/test/resources``.
152 The file must contain the following entries, listed here in
157 Encryption key used by the EPSDK-FW library. No default value.
163 The file ``portal.properties`` must be provided on the Java classpath
164 for the application, as required by the EPSDK-FW library. The Helm
165 chart for the application should mount this file appropriately. A
166 sample file is in directory ``src/test/resources``.
168 The file must contain the following entries, listed here in
171 ``ecomp_redirect_url``
173 Portal URL that is reachable by a user's browser. This is a value
175 ``https://portal.api.simpledemo.onap.org:30225/ONAPPORTAL/login.htm``
179 Portal REST URL that is reachable by the Dashboard back-end.
180 This is a value like ``http://portal-app.onap:8989/ONAPPORTAL/auxapi``
182 ``portal.api.impl.class``
184 Java class name. No default value. Value must be
185 ``org.oransc.ric.portal.dashboard.portalapi.PortalRestCentralServiceImpl``
187 ``role_access_centralized``
189 Selector for role access. No default value. Value must be ``remote``.
193 Unique key assigned by ONAP Portal to the RIC Dashboard application.
200 A production server requires the configuration files listed above.
201 All files should be placed in a ``config`` directory. That name is
202 important; Spring automatically searches that directory for the
203 ``application.yaml`` file. Further, that directory can easily be
204 placed on the Java classpath so the additional files can be found at
208 On-Board Dashboard to ONAP Portal
209 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
211 When on-boarding the Dashboard to the ONAP Portal the administrator
212 must supply the following information about the deployed instance:
214 - Dashboard URL that is reachable by a user's browser. The domain of
215 this host name must match the Portal URL that is similarly reachable
216 by a user's browser for cookie-based authentication to function as
217 expected. This should be a value like
218 ``http://dashboard.simpledemo.onap.org:8080``
219 - Dashboard REST URL that is reachable by the Portal back-end server.
220 This can be a host name or an IP address, because it does not use
221 cookie-based authentication. This must be a URL with suffix "/api/v3"
222 for example ``http://192.168.1.1:8080/api/v3``.
224 The Dashboard server only listens on a single port, so the examples
225 above both use the same port number. Different port numbers might be
226 required if an ingress controller or other proxy server is used.
228 After the on-boarding process is complete, the administrator must
229 enter values from the Portal for the following properties explained
232 - ``portalapi.password``
233 - ``portalapi.username``
239 After creating, populating and mounting Kubernetes config maps
240 appropriately, launch the server with this command-line invocation to
241 include the ``config`` directory on the Java classpath::
243 java -cp config:target/ric-dash-be-1.2.0-SNAPSHOT.jar \
244 -Dloader.main=org.oransc.ric.portal.dashboard.DashboardApplication \
245 org.springframework.boot.loader.PropertiesLauncher
