-----------------------------------
Summary: Knox Homepage Profiles
Key: KNOX-2571
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-2571
Project: Apache Knox
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Sandor Molnar
Assignee: Sandor Molnar
Fix For: 1.6.0
There may be certain circumstances, when hiding functionality via links in the
General Proxy Information section to things like the Knox Admin UI, Knox public
certs, etc... is useful.
This improvement would allow for specific profiles to be defined within
gateway-site.xml that would be referenced by name as a query param in the URL.
A token profile will allow the homepage to filter itself based on the
definition in gateway-site.xml to include only the links and topologies
described in the profile.
This same feature would likely be able to be used as the default app on any
topology endpoint. Instead of a 404 we could redirect to the homepage with an
implied topology profile and the specific topology name.
This would lead us to a possible URL like:
[https://localhost:8443/gateway/homepage/home?profile=topology&name=sandbox]
This will tell it to filter for only the links described in the general
topology profile and the indicated topology name and possibly with any
additional topologies that are in the profile as well. Typically, I would
imagine it to only have the one named in the query param but it would be up to
the profile definition author.
Using the above idea, the token-based profile URL could be done in a similar
way - so that it can differ the filter for token integrations, we would make it
a different profile:
[https://localhost:8443/gateway/homepage/home?profile=token&name=tokenbased]
There should be 3 pre-configured profiles OOTB:
* full - all elements of GPI (General Proxy Information) is shown; no topology
filtering
* thin - only the version and public certification elements are showing in
GPI; no topology filtering
* token - only the version and token integration elements are shown in GPI; no
topology filtering
