Huawei Identity and Access Management (IAM)

Since Camel 3.11

Only producer is supported

Huawei Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) component allows you to integrate with IAM provided by Huawei Cloud.

Maven users will need to add the following dependency to their pom.xml for this component:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId>
    <artifactId>camel-huaweicloud-iam</artifactId>
    <version>x.x.x</version>
    <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

URI Format

hwcloud-iam:operation[?options]

Configuring Options

Camel components are configured on two separate levels:

  • component level

  • endpoint level

Configuring Component Options

The component level is the highest level which holds general and common configurations that are inherited by the endpoints. For example a component may have security settings, credentials for authentication, urls for network connection and so forth.

Some components only have a few options, and others may have many. Because components typically have pre configured defaults that are commonly used, then you may often only need to configure a few options on a component; or none at all.

Configuring components can be done with the Component DSL, in a configuration file (application.properties|yaml), or directly with Java code.

Configuring Endpoint Options

Where you find yourself configuring the most is on endpoints, as endpoints often have many options, which allows you to configure what you need the endpoint to do. The options are also categorized into whether the endpoint is used as consumer (from) or as a producer (to), or used for both.

Configuring endpoints is most often done directly in the endpoint URI as path and query parameters. You can also use the Endpoint DSL as a type safe way of configuring endpoints.

A good practice when configuring options is to use Property Placeholders, which allows to not hardcode urls, port numbers, sensitive information, and other settings. In other words placeholders allows to externalize the configuration from your code, and gives more flexibility and reuse.

The following two sections lists all the options, firstly for the component followed by the endpoint.

Component Options

The Huawei Identity and Access Management (IAM) component supports 2 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

boolean

autowiredEnabled (advanced)

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

true

boolean

Endpoint Options

The Huawei Identity and Access Management (IAM) endpoint is configured using URI syntax:

hwcloud-iam:operation

with the following path and query parameters:

Path Parameters (1 parameters)

Name Description Default Type

operation (producer)

Required Operation to be performed.

String

Query Parameters (12 parameters)

Name Description Default Type

accessKey (producer)

Required Access key for the cloud user.

String

groupId (producer)

Group ID to perform operation with.

String

ignoreSslVerification (producer)

Ignore SSL verification.

boolean

lazyStartProducer (producer)

Whether the producer should be started lazy (on the first message). By starting lazy you can use this to allow CamelContext and routes to startup in situations where a producer may otherwise fail during starting and cause the route to fail being started. By deferring this startup to be lazy then the startup failure can be handled during routing messages via Camel’s routing error handlers. Beware that when the first message is processed then creating and starting the producer may take a little time and prolong the total processing time of the processing.

boolean

proxyHost (producer)

Proxy server ip/hostname.

String

proxyPassword (producer)

Proxy authentication password.

String

proxyPort (producer)

Proxy server port.

int

proxyUser (producer)

Proxy authentication user.

String

region (producer)

Required IAM service region.

String

secretKey (producer)

Required Secret key for the cloud user.

String

serviceKeys (producer)

Configuration object for cloud service authentication.

ServiceKeys

userId (producer)

User ID to perform operation with.

String

Usage

Message properties evaluated by the IAM producer

Header Type Description

CamelHwCloudIamOperation

String

Name of operation to invoke

CamelHwCloudIamUserId

String

User ID to invoke operation on

CamelHwCloudIamGroupId

String

Group ID to invoke operation on

If any of the above properties are set, they will override their corresponding query parameter.

List of Supported IAM Operations

  • listUsers

  • getUser - userId parameter is required

  • updateUser - userId parameter is required

  • listGroups

  • getGroupUsers - groupId is required

  • updateGroup - groupId is required

Passing Options Through Exchange Body

There are many options that can be submitted to update a user (Table 4) or to update a group (Table 4). Since there are multiple user/group options, they must be passed through the exchange body.

For the updateUser operation, you can pass the user options as an UpdateUserOption object or a Json string:

from("direct:triggerRoute")
 .setBody(new UpdateUserOption().withName("user").withDescription("employee").withEmail("user@email.com"))
 .to("hwcloud-iam:updateUser?userId=********&region=cn-north-4&accessKey=********&secretKey=********")
from("direct:triggerRoute")
 .setBody("{\"name\":\"user\",\"description\":\"employee\",\"email\":\"user@email.com\"}")
 .to("hwcloud-iam:updateUser?userId=********&region=cn-north-4&accessKey=********&secretKey=********")

For the updateGroup operation, you can pass the group options as a KeystoneUpdateGroupOption object or a Json string:

from("direct:triggerRoute")
 .setBody(new KeystoneUpdateGroupOption().withName("group").withDescription("employees").withDomainId("1234"))
 .to("hwcloud-iam:updateUser?groupId=********&region=cn-north-4&accessKey=********&secretKey=********")
from("direct:triggerRoute")
 .setBody("{\"name\":\"group\",\"description\":\"employees\",\"domain_id\":\"1234\"}")
 .to("hwcloud-iam:updateUser?groupId=********&region=cn-north-4&accessKey=********&secretKey=********")

Using ServiceKey Configuration Bean

Access key and secret keys are required to authenticate against cloud IAM service. You can avoid having them being exposed and scattered over in your endpoint uri by wrapping them inside a bean of class org.apache.camel.component.huaweicloud.iam.models.ServiceKeys. Add it to the registry and let Camel look it up by referring the object via endpoint query parameter serviceKeys.

Check the following code snippets:

<bean id="myServiceKeyConfig" class="org.apache.camel.component.huaweicloud.iam.models.ServiceKeys">
   <property name="accessKey" value="your_access_key" />
   <property name="secretKey" value="your_secret_key" />
</bean>
from("direct:triggerRoute")
 .setProperty(IAMPropeties.OPERATION, constant("listUsers"))
 .setProperty(IAMPropeties.USER_ID ,constant("your_user_id"))
 .setProperty(IAMPropeties.GROUP_ID, constant("your_group_id))
 .to("hwcloud-iam:listUsers?region=cn-north-4&serviceKeys=#myServiceKeyConfig")

Spring Boot Auto-Configuration

When using huaweicloud-iam with Spring Boot make sure to use the following Maven dependency to have support for auto configuration:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.apache.camel.springboot</groupId>
  <artifactId>camel-huaweicloud-iam-starter</artifactId>
  <version>x.x.x</version>
  <!-- use the same version as your Camel core version -->
</dependency>

The component supports 3 options, which are listed below.

Name Description Default Type

camel.component.hwcloud-iam.autowired-enabled

Whether autowiring is enabled. This is used for automatic autowiring options (the option must be marked as autowired) by looking up in the registry to find if there is a single instance of matching type, which then gets configured on the component. This can be used for automatic configuring JDBC data sources, JMS connection factories, AWS Clients, etc.

true

Boolean

Whether to enable auto configuration of the hwcloud-iam component. This is enabled by default.

Boolean

camel.component.hwcloud-iam.lazy-start-producer
