KumuluzEE Security extension for the Kumuluz EE microservice framework.

KumuluzEE Security is a security project for the KumuluzEE microservice framework. It provides support for OpenID authentication through standard Java EE security annotations for roles. It is specifically targeted towards securing REST services. Roles are mapped to the selected OpenID provider. KumuluzEE Security has been designed to work with different OpenID providers.

Providers

Currently, the following providers are supported:

• Keycloak
• Firebase

Contributions for other OpenID providers are welcome.

Security configuration

To protect a REST service using KumuluzEE Security authentication you have to annotate the REST application class with the @DeclareRoles annotation:

@DeclareRoles({"role1", "role2"})
public class RestApplication extends Application {

}

Alternatively, you can also annotate it with @Keycloak or @FirebaseAuth.

It is possible to specify security constraints for JAX-RS resources using the standard @DenyAll, @PermitAll and @RolesAllowed Java annotations.

Example of security constraints:

@Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
@Path("customers")
@Secure
public class CustomerResource {

    @GET
    @Path("{customerId}")
    @PermitAll
    public Response getCustomer(@PathParam("customerId") String customerId) {
        ...
    }

    @POST
    @RolesAllowed("user")
    public Response addNewCustomer(Customer customer) {
        ...
    }
}

NOTE: When using the non CDI security constraint annotations, note that these constraints behave as if they were declared in the web.xml descriptor, i.e. the url patterns do not support path parameters.

The security extension also supports CDI based security, which means that security constraints are checked and resolved during method invocation. To enable CDI based security just add @Secure annotation to the CDI bean and use the standard Java security annotations as before.

Example of CDI based security:

@RequestScoped
@Secure
@PermitAll
public class CustomerResource {

    @RolesAllowed("user")
    public Customer getCustomer(String customerId) {
        ...
    }

    @RolesAllowed("admin")
    public void addNewCustomer(Customer customer) {
        ...
    }
}

When using the CDI based security it is also possible to provide application role mappings. The specified role mappings transform provider roles into internal application roles. Role mappings are defined using the kumuluzee.security.roles key.

Example role mapping configuration:

kumuluzee:
  security:
    roles:
      user: role_user # 'user' from provider will be mapped to 'role_user' in this service
      admin: role_admin

Additional configuration

You may also disable Jetty servlet security, which is enabled by default, by setting key kumuluzee.security.disable-jetty-auth to true.
