Deploying a Red Hat Process Automation Manager managed server environment on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
Abstract
Preface
As a system engineer, you can deploy a Red Hat Process Automation Manager managed server environment on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform to provide an infrastructure to execute services, process applications, and other business assets. You can use Business Central Monitoring to manage and update the processes running on Process Servers in this environment.
Prerequisites
- At least four gigabytes of memory must be available in the OpenShift cluster/namespace.
- The OpenShift project for the deployment must be created.
-
You must be logged in to the project using the
oc
command. For more information about theoc
command-line tool, see the OpenShift CLI Reference. If you want to use the OpenShift Web console to deploy templates, you must also be logged on using the Web console. Dynamic persistent volume (PV) provisioning mustbe enabled. Alternatively, if dynamic PV provisioning is not enabled, enough persistent volumes must be available. By default, the following sizes are required:
- Each deployed replicated set of Process Server pods requires, by default, one 1Gi PV for the database. You can change the database PV size in the template parameters. This requirement does not apply if you use an external database server.
- Business Central Monitoring requires one 64Mi PV.
- Smart Router requires one 64Mi PV.
- If you intend to scale any of the Business Central Monitoring pods, your OpenShift environment supports persistent volumes with ReadWriteMany mode. For information about access mode support in OpenShift Online volume plug-ins, see Access Modes.
Chapter 1. Overview of Red Hat Process Automation Manager on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform
You can deploy Red Hat Process Automation Manager into a Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform environment.
In this solution, components of Red Hat Process Automation Manager are deployed as separate OpenShift pods. You can scale each of the pods up and down individually, providing as few or as many containers as necessary for a particular component. You can use standard OpenShift methods to manage the pods and balance the load.
The following key components of Red Hat Process Automation Manager are available on OpenShift:
Process Server, also known as Execution Server or KIE Server, is the infrastructure element that runs decision services, process applications, and other deployable assets (collectively referred to as services) . All logic of the services runs on execution servers.
A database server is normally required for Process Server. You can provide a database server in another OpenShift pod or configure an execution server on OpenShift to use any other database server. Alternatively, Process Server can use an H2 database; in this case, the pod cannot be scaled.
You can freely scale up a Process Server pod, providing as many copies as necessary, running on the same host or different hosts. As you scale a pod up or down, all its copies use the same database server and run the same services. OpenShift provides load balancing and a request can be handled by any of the pods.
You can deploy a separate Process Server pod to run a different group of services. That pod can also be scaled up or down. You can have as many separate replicated Process Server pods as necessary.
Business Central is a web-based interactive environment for authoring services. It also provides a management and monitoring console. You can use Business Central to develop services and deploy them to Process Servers. You can also use Business Central to monitor the execution of processes.
Business Central is a centralized application. However, you can configure it for high availability, where multiple pods run and share the same data.
Business Central includes a Git repository that holds the source for the services that you develop on it. It also includes a built-in Maven repository. Depending on configuration, Business Central can place the compiled services (KJAR files) into the built-in Maven repository or (if configured) into an external Maven repository.
In the current version, high-availability Business Central functionality is a technology preview.
- Business Central Monitoring is a web-based management and monitoring console. It can manage deployment of services to Process Servers and provide monitoring information, but does not include authoring capabilities. You can use this component to manage staging and production environments.
- Smart Router is an optional layer between Process Servers and other components that interact with them. It is required if you want Business Central or Business Central Monitoring to interact with several different Process Servers. Also, when your environment includes many services running on different Process Servers, Smart Router provides a single endpoint to all client applications. A client application can make a REST API call requiring any service. Smart Router automatically determines which Process Server must be called for any particular request.
You can arrange these and other components into various environment configurations within OpenShift.
The following environment types are typical:
- Authoring: An environment for creating and modifying services using Business Central. It consists of pods that provide Business Central for the authoring work and a Process Server for test execution of the services. For instructions about deploying this environment, see Deploying a Red Hat Process Automation Manager authoring environment on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
- Managed deployment: An environment for running existing services for staging and production purposes. This environment includes several groups of Process Server pods; you can deploy and undeploy services on every such group and also scale the group up or down as necessary. Use Business Central Monitoring to deploy, run, and stop the services and to monitor their execution. For instructions about deploying this environment, see Deploying a Red Hat Process Automation Manager managed server environment on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
- Deployment with immutable servers: An alternate environment for running existing services for staging and production purposes. In this environment, when you deploy a Process Server pod, it builds an image that loads and starts a service or group of services. You cannot stop any service on the pod or add any new service to the pod. If you want to use another version of a service or modify the configuration in any other way, you deploy a new server image and displace the old one. In this system, the Process Server runs like any other pod on the OpenShift environment; you can use any container-based integration workflows and do not need to use any other tools to manage the pods. Optionally, you can use Business Central Monitoring to monitor the performance of the environment and to stop and restart some of the service instances, but not to deploy additional services to any Process Server or undeploy any existing ones (you can not add or remove containers). For instructions about deploying this environment, see Deploying a Red Hat Process Automation Manager immutable server environment on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
You can also deploy a trial or evaluation environment. This environment includes Business Central and a Process Server. You can set it up quickly and use it to evaluate or demonstrate developing and running assets. However, the environment does not use any persistent storage, and any work you do in the environment is not saved. For instructions about deploying this environment, see Deploying a Red Hat Process Automation Manager trial environment on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
To deploy a Red Hat Process Automation Manager environment on OpenShift, you can use the templates that are provided with Red Hat Process Automation Manager. You can modify the templates to ensure that the configuration suits your environment.
Chapter 2. Preparing to deploy Red Hat Process Automation Manager in your OpenShift environment
Before deploying Red Hat Process Automation Manager in your OpenShift environment, you need to complete several preparatory tasks. You do not need to repeat these tasks if you want to deploy additional images, for example, for new versions of processes or for other processes.
2.1. Ensuring the availability of image streams
You must ensure that the image streams that are required for the deployment are available in your OpenShift environment. Some versions of the OpenShift environment include the necessary image streams. You must check if they are available. If they are not available, you must install the rhpam71-image-streams.yaml
file.
Procedure
Run the following commands:
$ oc get imagestreamtag -n openshift | grep rhpam71-businesscentral $ oc get imagestreamtag -n openshift | grep rhpam71-kieserver
If the outputs of both commands are not empty, the required image streams are available and no further action is required.
If the output of one or both of the commands is empty, download the
rhpam-7.1.0-openshift-templates.zip
product deliverable file from the Software Downloads page. Extract therhpam71-image-streams.yaml
file from it. Complete one of the following actions:Run the following command:
$ oc create -f rhpam71-image-streams.yaml
- Using the OpenShift Web UI, select Add to Project → Import YAML / JSON, then choose the file or paste its contents.
2.2. Creating the secrets for Process Server
OpenShift uses objects called Secrets
to hold sensitive information, such as passwords or keystores. See the Secrets chapter in the OpenShift documentation for more information.
You must create an SSL certificate for Process Server and provide it to your OpenShift environment as a secret.
Procedure
Generate an SSL keystore with a private and public key for SSL encryption for Process Server. In a production environment, generate a valid signed certificate that matches the expected URL of the Process Server. Save the keystore in a file named
keystore.jks
. Record the name of the certificate and the password of the keystore file.See Generate a SSL Encryption Key and Certificate for more information on how to create a keystore with self-signed or purchased SSL certificates.
Use the
oc
command to generate a secret namedkieserver-app-secret
from the new keystore file:$ oc create secret generic kieserver-app-secret --from-file=keystore.jks
2.3. Creating the secrets for Business Central
If you are planning to deploy Business Central or Business Central Monitoring in your OpenShift environment, you must create an SSL certificate for Business Central and provide it to your OpenShift environment as a secret. Do not use the same certificate and keystore for Business Central and for Process Server.
Procedure
Generate an SSL keystore with a private and public key for SSL encryption for Business Central. In a production environment, generate a valid signed certificate that matches the expected URL of the Business Central. Save the keystore in a file named
keystore.jks
. Record the name of the certificate and the password of the keystore file.See Generate a SSL Encryption Key and Certificate for more information on how to create a keystore with self-signed or purchased SSL certificates.
Use the
oc
command to generate a secret namedbusinesscentral-app-secret
from the new keystore file:$ oc create secret generic businesscentral-app-secret --from-file=keystore.jks
2.4. Changing GlusterFS configuration
Check whether your OpenShift environment uses GlusterFS to provide permanent storage volumes. If it uses GlusterFS, to ensure optimal performance, tune your GlusterFS storage by changing the storage class configuration.
Procedure
To check whether your environment uses GlusterFS, run the following command:
oc get storageclass
In the results, check whether the
(default)
marker is on the storage class that listsglusterfs
. For example, in the following output the default storage class isgluster-container
, which does listglusterfs
:NAME PROVISIONER AGE gluster-block gluster.org/glusterblock 8d gluster-container (default) kubernetes.io/glusterfs 8d
If the result has a default storage class that does not list
glusterfs
or if the result is empty, you do not need to make any changes. In this case, skip the rest of this procedure.To save the configuration of the default storage class into a YAML file, run the following command:
oc get storageclass <class-name> -o yaml >storage_config.yaml
Where
class-name
is the name of the default storage class. For example:oc get storageclass gluster-container -o yaml >storage_config.yaml
Edit the
storage_config.yaml
file:Remove the lines with the following keys:
-
creationTimestamp
-
resourceVersion
-
selfLink
-
uid
-
On the line with the
volumeoptions
key, add the following two options:features.cache-invalidation on, performance.nl-cache on
. For example:volumeoptions: client.ssl off, server.ssl off, features.cache-invalidation on, performance.nl-cache on
To remove the existing default storage class, run the following command:
oc delete storageclass <class-name>
Where
class-name
is the name of the default storage class. For example:oc delete storageclass gluster-container
To re-create the storage class using the new configuration, run the following command:
oc create -f storage_config.yaml
Chapter 3. Managed server environment
You can deploy a managed server environment that includes several different pods running Process Server. By default, no processes are initially loaded on the servers. The database servers are, by default, also run in pods. Each Process Server pod can be separately scaled as necessary.
A pod with Business Central Monitoring and a pod with Smart Router are also deployed. You must use Business Central Monitoring to deploy, load, and unload processes on your Process Servers; you can also use it to view monitoring information.
Smart Router is a single endpoint that can receive calls from client applications to any of your processes and route each call automatically to the server that actually runs the process.
You must provide a Maven repository with the processes (KJAR files) that you want to deploy on the servers. Your integration process must ensure that the required versions of the processes are uploaded to the Maven repository. You can use Business Central in a development environment to create the processes and upload them to the Maven repository.
Red Hat Process Automation Manager includes two base templates for managed environments:
-
rhpam71-sit.yaml
is a typical staging environment. It includes two Process Server pods (with database pods), Smart Router, and Business Central monitoring. -
rhpam71-prod.yaml
is a typical production environment. It includes two Process Server pods (with database pods), Smart Router in a high-availability configuration, and Business Central monitoring in a high-availability configuration.
To deploy a managed environment, pick one of the templates, modify it according to your needs if necessary, and then deploy it.
3.1. Deploying a managed environment
Deploy a managed environment using one of the following template files:
-
rhpam71-sit.yaml
if you need to use minimal resources and do not need high-availability configuration for Business Central Monitoring and Smart Router rhpam71-prod.yaml
if you need high-availability configuration for Business Central Monitoring and Smart RouterYou can extract the template files from the
rhpam-7.1.0-openshift-templates.zip
product deliverable file. You can download the file from the Software Downloads page.
If you want to modify the environment defined by the template file, see Section 3.2, “Modifying a template for a managed environment”.
Procedure
Use one of the following methods to deploy the template:
- In the OpenShift Web UI, select Add to Project → Import YAML / JSON and then select or paste the template file. In the Add Template window, ensure Process the template is selected and click Continue.
To use the OpenShift command line console, prepare the following command line:
oc new-app -f <template-file-name> -p BUSINESS_CENTRAL_HTTPS_SECRET=businesscentral-app-secret -p KIE_SERVER_HTTPS_SECRET=kieserver-app-secret -p MAVEN_REPO_URL=<maven-repo-url>
In this command line:
-
Replace
<template-file-name>
with the full pathname of the template file that you have modified. -
Replace
<maven-repo-url>
with the a URL for a Maven repository where the necessary KJAR files are available. -
Use as many
-p PARAMETER=value
pairs as needed to set the required parameters. You can view the template file to see descriptions for all parameters.

- Complete and run the command line.
3.2. Modifying a template for a managed environment
To adjust the managed environment to your needs, you need to modify the rhpam71-sit.yaml
or rhpam71-prod.yaml
template before deploying the environment.
By default, the templates create two replicated Process Server pods. You can deploy separate processes on each of the pods. To add more replicated Process Server pods, you need to modify the template before deploying the environment.
By default, the templates create a PostgreSQL pod to provide the database server for each replicated Process Server. If you prefer to use PostgreSQL or to use an external server (outside the OpenShift project), you need to modify the template before deploying the environment.
For the rhpam71-prod.yaml
template you can also adjust the initial number of replicas for Business Central Monitoring.
An OpenShift template defines a set of objects that can be created by OpenShift. To change an environment configuration, you need to modify, add, or delete these objects. To simplify this task, comments are provided in the Red Hat Process Automation Manager templates.
Some comments mark blocks within the template, staring with BEGIN
and ending with END
. For example, the following block is named Sample block
:
## Sample block BEGIN sample line 1 sample line 2 sample line 3 ## Sample block END
For some changes, you might need to replace a block in one template file with a block from another template file provided with Red Hat Process Automation Manager. In this case, delete the block, then paste the new block in its exact location.
Note that named blocks can be nested.
Procedure
If you want to add more replicated Process Server pods, repeat the following actions for every additional pod:
-
Pick a number for the new pod. The default pods have the numbers
1
and2
, so you can use3
for the first new pod, then4
and so on. Copy the following blocks of the file, marked with comments from
BEGIN
toEND
, into the end of the file:-
KIE server services 1
-
PostgreSQL service 1
-
KIE server routes 1
-
KIE server deployment config 1
-
PostgreSQL deployment config 1
-
PostgreSQL persistent volume claim 1
-
-
In the new copies, replace all instances of
-1
with the new pod number, for example,-3
.
-
Pick a number for the new pod. The default pods have the numbers
If you want to use MySQL instead of PostgreSQL, replace several blocks of the file, marked with comments from
BEGIN
toEND
, with blocks from therhpam71-kieserver-postgresql.yaml
file, then modify some of the newly added blocks:Replace the block named
MySQL database parameters
with the block namedPosgreSQL database parameters
. (Take this block and all subsequent replacement blocks from therhpam71-kieserver-postgresql.yaml
file.)Repeat the following actions for every replicated Process Server pod number, for example,
1
and2
in the unmodified template.N
refers to the pod number, for example,1
.-
Replace the block named
PosgreSQL service N
with the block namedMySQL service
. -
Replace the block named
PosgreSQL driver settings N
with the block namedMySQL driver settings
. -
Replace the block named
PosgreSQL deployment config N
with the block namedMySQL deployment config
. -
Replace the block named
PosgreSQL persistent volume claim N
with the block namedMySQL persistent volume claim
. In all the newly added blocks, make the following replacements manually, where
N
is the pod number:-
-mysql
with-mysql-N
, except in-mysql-pvol
and in-mysql-claim
-
-mysql-claim
with-mysql-claim-N
-
-
Replace the block named
If you want to use an external database server, replace several blocks of the file, marked with comments from
BEGIN
toEND
, with blocks from therhpam71-kieserver-externaldb.yaml
file, remove some blocks, and modify some of the newly added blocks:Replace the block named
MySQL database parameters
with the block namedExternal database parameters
. (Take this block and all subsequent replacement blocks from therhpam71-kieserver-external.yaml
file.)Repeat the following actions for every replicated Process Server pod number, for example,
1
and2
in the unmodified template.N
refers to the pod number, for example,1
.-
Remove the block named
PosgreSQL service N
-
Remove the block named
PosgreSQL deployment config N
-
Remove the block named
PosgreSQL persistent volume claim N
-
Replace the block named
PosgreSQL driver settings N
with the block namedExternal database driver settings
. In the new
External database driver settings
block, if any of the following values are different for different Process Server pods in the infrastructure, set the values for this particular pod:-
RHPAM_USERNAME
: The user name for logging in to the database server -
RHPAM_PASSWORD
: The password for logging in to the database server -
RHPAM_XA_CONNECTION_PROPERTY_URL
: The full URL for logging in to the database server -
RHPAM_SERVICE_HOST
: The host name of the database server -
RHPAM_DATABASE
: The database name
-
-
Remove the block named
The standard Process Server image includes drivers for MySQL and PostgreSQL external database servers. If you want to use another database server, you must build a custom Process Server image. For instructions, see Section 3.3, “Building a custom Process Server image for an external database”.
-
If you want to change the number of replicas initially created for Business Central Monitoring, on the line below the comment
## Replicas for Business Central Monitoring
, change the number of replicas to the desired value.
3.3. Building a custom Process Server image for an external database
If you want to use an external database server for a Process Server and this server is neither MySQL nor PostgreSQL, you must build a custom Process Server image with drivers for this server before deploying your environment.
You can use this build procedure to provide drivers for the following database servers:
- Microsoft SQL Server
- MariaDB
- IBM DB2
- Oracle Database
- Sybase
For the tested versions of the database servers, see Red Hat Process Automation Manager 7 Supported Configurations.
The build procedure creates a custom image that extends the existing Process Server image. It pushes this custom image into a new ImageStream
in the openshift
namespace with the same version tag as the original image.
Prerequisites
-
You have logged on to your project in the OpenShift environment using the
oc
command as a user with thecluster-admin
role. - For IBM DB2, Oracle Database, or Sybase, you have downloaded the JDBC driver from the database server vendor.
Procedure
For IBM DB2, Oracle Database, or Sybase, provide the JDBC driver JAR in a local directory or on an HTTP server. Within the local directory or HTTP server, the following paths are expected:
-
For IBM DB2,

| False |
|
| A flag indicating if the DN returned by a query contains the roleNameAttributeID. If set to true, the DN is checked for the roleNameAttributeID. If set to false, the DN is not checked for the roleNameAttributeID. This flag can improve the performance of LDAP queries. |
| False |
|
| Whether or not the roleAttributeID contains the fully-qualified DN of a role object. If false, the role name is taken from the value of the roleNameAttributeId attribute of the context name. Certain directory schemas, such as Microsoft Active Directory, require this attribute to be set to true. |
| False |
|
| If you are not using referrals, this option can be ignored. When using referrals, this option denotes the attribute name which contains users defined for a certain role, for example member, if the role object is inside the referral. Users are checked against the content of this attribute name. If this option is not set, the check will always fail, so role objects cannot be stored in a referral tree. |
| False |
4.1.2. Objects
The CLI supports various object types. A list of these object types as well as their abbreviations can be found in the Openshift documentation.
4.1.2.1. Services
A service is an abstraction which defines a logical set of pods and a policy by which to access them. Refer to the container-engine documentation for more information.
Service | Port | Name | Description |
---|---|---|---|
| 8080 | http | All the Business Central Monitoring web server’s ports. |
8443 | https | ||
| 8888 | ping | The JGroups ping port for clustering. |
| 9000 | — | The smart router server http port. |
| 8080 | http | All the KIE server web server’s ports. (First KIE server) |
8443 | https | ||
| 8888 | ping | The JGroups ping port for clustering. |
| 8080 | http | All the KIE server web server’s ports. (Second KIE server) |
8443 | https | ||
| 8888 | ping | The JGroups ping port for clustering. |
| 5432 | — | The first database server’s port. |
| 5432 | — | The second database server’s port. |
4.1.2.2. Routes
A route is a way to expose a service by giving it an externally-reachable hostname such as www.example.com
. A defined route and the endpoints identified by its service can be consumed by a router to provide named connectivity from external clients to your applications. Each route consists of a route name, service selector, and (optionally) security configuration. Refer to the Openshift documentation for more information.
Service | Security | Hostname |
---|---|---|
| none |

4.1.2.3. Deployment Configurations
A deployment in OpenShift is a replication controller based on a user defined template called a deployment configuration. Deployments are created manually or in response to triggered events. Refer to the Openshift documentation for more information.
4.1.2.3.1. Triggers
A trigger drives the creation of new deployments in response to events, both inside and outside OpenShift. Refer to the Openshift documentation for more information.

| |
| The name of the attribute in the user entry that contains the DN of the user. This may be necessary if the DN of the user itself contains special characters, backslash for example, that prevent correct user mapping. If the attribute does not exist, the entry’s DN is used. |
| |
| A flag indicating if the DN is to be parsed for the username. If set to true, the DN is parsed for the username. If set to false the DN is not parsed for the username. This option is used together with usernameBeginString and usernameEndString. |
| |
| Defines the String which is to be removed from the start of the DN to reveal the username. This option is used together with usernameEndString and only taken into account if parseUsername is set to true. |

| |
| Name of the attribute containing the user roles. |
| |
| The fixed DN of the context to search for user roles. This is not the DN where the actual roles are, but the DN where the objects containing the user roles are. For example, in a Microsoft Active Directory server, this is the DN where the user account is. |
| |
| A search filter used to locate the roles associated with the authenticated user. The input username or userDN obtained from the login module callback is substituted into the filter anywhere a {0} expression is used.

An alternative that matches on the authenticated userDN is (member={1}). |
| |
| The number of levels of recursion the role search will go below a matching context. Disable recursion by setting this to 0. |
| |
| A role included for all authenticated users |
| |
| Name of the attribute within the roleCtxDN context which contains the role name. If the roleAttributeIsDN property is set to true, this property is used to find the role object’s name attribute. |
| |
| A flag indicating if the DN returned by a query contains the roleNameAttributeID. If set to true, the DN is checked for the roleNameAttributeID. If set to false, the DN is not checked for the roleNameAttributeID. This flag can improve the performance of LDAP queries. |
| |
| Whether or not the roleAttributeID contains the fully-qualified DN of a role object. If false, the role name is taken from the value of the roleNameAttributeId attribute of the context name. Certain directory schemas, such as Microsoft Active Directory, require this attribute to be set to true. |

4.2.2. Objects
The CLI supports various object types. A list of these object types as well as their abbreviations can be found in the Openshift documentation.
4.2.2.1. Services
A service is an abstraction which defines a logical set of pods and a policy by which to access them. Refer to the container-engine documentation for more information.
Service | Port | Name | Description |
---|---|---|---|
| 8080 | http | All the Business Central Monitoring web server’s ports. |
8443 | https | ||
| 8888 | ping | The JGroups ping port for clustering. |
| 9000 | — | The smart router server http port. |
| 8080 | http | All the KIE server web server’s ports. (First KIE server) |
8443 | https | ||
| 8888 | ping | The JGroups ping port for clustering. |
| 8080 | http | All the KIE server web server’s ports. (Second KIE server) |
8443 | https | ||
| 8888 | ping | The JGroups ping port for clustering. |
| 5432 | — | The first database server’s port. |
| 5432 | — | The second database server’s port. |
4.2.2.2. Routes
A route is a way to expose a service by giving it an externally-reachable hostname such as www.example.com
. A defined route and the endpoints identified by its service can be consumed by a router to provide named connectivity from external clients to your applications. Each route consists of a route name, service selector, and (optionally) security configuration. Refer to the Openshift documentation for more information.
Service | Security | Hostname |

4.2.2.3. Deployment Configurations
A deployment in OpenShift is a replication controller based on a user defined template called a deployment configuration. Deployments are created manually or in response to triggered events. Refer to the Openshift documentation for more information.
4.2.2.3.1. Triggers
A trigger drives the creation of new deployments in response to events, both inside and outside OpenShift. Refer to the Openshift documentation for more information.

4.2.2.3.2. Replicas
A replication controller ensures that a specified number of pod "replicas" are running at any one time. If there are too many, the replication controller kills some pods. If there are too few, it starts more. Refer to the container-engine documentation for more information.

| LDAP Endpoint to connect for authentication |
| |
| Bind DN used for authentication |
| |
| LDAP Credentials used for authentication |
| |
| The JMX ObjectName of the JaasSecurityDomain used to decrypt the password. |
| |
| LDAP Base DN of the top-level context to begin the user search. |
| |
| LDAP search filter used to locate the context of the user to authenticate. The input username or userDN obtained from the login module callback is substituted into the filter anywhere a {0} expression is used. A common example for the search filter is (uid={0}). |
| |
| The search scope to use. |
| |
| The timeout in milliseconds for user or role searches. |
| |
| The name of the attribute in the user entry that contains the DN of the user. This may be necessary if the DN of the user itself contains special characters, backslash for example, that prevent correct user mapping. If the attribute does not exist, the entry’s DN is used. |
| |
| A flag indicating if the DN is to be parsed for the username. If set to true, the DN is parsed for the username. If set to false the DN is not parsed for the username. This option is used together with usernameBeginString and usernameEndString. |
| |
| Defines the String which is to be removed from the start of the DN to reveal the username. This option is used together with usernameEndString and only taken into account if parseUsername is set to true. |
| |
| Defines the String which is to be removed from the end of the DN to reveal the username. This option is used together with usernameEndString and only taken into account if parseUsername is set to true. |
| |
| Name of the attribute containing the user roles. |
| |
| The fixed DN of the context to search for user roles. This is not the DN where the actual roles are, but the DN where the objects containing the user roles are. For example, in a Microsoft Active Directory server, this is the DN where the user account is. |
| |
| A search filter used to locate the roles associated with the authenticated user. The input username or userDN obtained from the login module callback is substituted into the filter anywhere a {0} expression is used. The authenticated userDN is substituted into the filter anywhere a {1} is used. An example search filter that matches on the input username is (member={0}). An alternative that matches on the authenticated userDN is (member={1}). |
| |
| The number of levels of recursion the role search will go below a matching context. Disable recursion by setting this to 0. |
| |
| A role included for all authenticated users |
| |
| Name of the attribute within the roleCtxDN context which contains the role name. If the roleAttributeIsDN property is set to true, this property is used to find the role object’s name attribute. |
| |
| A flag indicating if the DN returned by a query contains the roleNameAttributeID. If set to true, the DN is checked for the roleNameAttributeID. If set to false, the DN is not checked for the roleNameAttributeID. This flag can improve the performance of LDAP queries. |
| |
| Whether or not the roleAttributeID contains the fully-qualified DN of a role object. If false, the role name is taken from the value of the roleNameAttributeId attribute of the context name. Certain directory schemas, such as Microsoft Active Directory, require this attribute to be set to true. |
| |
| If you are not using referrals, this option can be ignored. When using referrals, this option denotes the attribute name which contains users defined for a certain role, for example member, if the role object is inside the referral. Users are checked against the content of this attribute name. If this option is not set, the check will always fail, so role objects cannot be stored in a referral tree. |

4.3. OpenShift usage quick reference
To deploy, monitor, manage, and undeploy Red Hat Process Automation Manager templates on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, you can use the OpenShift Web console or the oc
command.
For instructions about using the Web console, see Create and build an image using the Web console.
For detailed instructions about using the oc
command, see CLI Reference. The following commands are likely to be required:
To create a project, use the following command:
$ oc new-project <project-name>
For more information, see Creating a project using the CLI.
To deploy a template (create an application from a template), use the following command:
$ oc new-app -f <template-name> -p <parameter>=<value> -p <parameter>=<value> ...
For more information, see Creating an application using the CLI.
To view a list of the active pods in the project, use the following command:
$ oc get pods
To view the current status of a pod, including information whether or not the pod deployment has completed and it is now in a running state, use the following command:
$ oc describe pod <pod-name>
You can also use the
oc describe
command to view the current status of other objects. For more information, see Application modification operations.To view the logs for a pod, use the following command:
$ oc logs <pod-name>
To view deployment logs, look up a
DeploymentConfig
name in the template reference and run the following command:$ oc logs -f dc/<deployment-config-name>
For more information, see Viewing deployment logs.
To view build logs, look up a
BuildConfig
name in the template reference and run the command:$ oc logs -f bc/<build-config-name>
For more information, see Accessing build logs.
To scale a pod in the application, look up a
DeploymentConfig
name in the template reference and run the command:$ oc scale dc/<deployment-config-name> --replicas=<number>
For more information, see Manual scaling.
To undeploy the application, you can delete the project by using the command:
$ oc delete project <project-name>
Alternatively, you can use the
oc delete
command to remove any part of the application, such as a pod or replication controller. For details, see Application modification CLI operation.
