Hi
It would be really great if a functionality for Hawkular APM could be
found/established, matching the one that exists for Hawkular Metrics wise
for OpenShift, where the metrics are stored per tenant/namespace, and then
Hawkular security wise is integrated to the OAuth based security model of
OpenShift.
Is that a requirement/feature that have been considered? Or would it maybe
already be possible to integrate the Hawkular APM components to OpenShift
OAuth based security. Even if the Hawkular APM storage and security model
would not fit to the fully multitenant way of OpenShift, if just the
security model of a Hawkular APM installation could be connected to the
OpenShift OAuth model, then one Hawkular APM instance could be setup with
"service account tokens" used for sending metrics to the instance, and users
could log into the Hawkular APM UI with again OpenShift OAuth managed
credentials, mapped to roles coming from the OAuth ticket. Much the same way
that the security model of the OpenShift integrated Jenkins works - see:
https://github.com/openshift/jenkins-openshift-login-plugin
The current security model of APM is rather limited as far as I understand -
and based solely on a single manually fixed username/password for both
contributing application performance metrics/log entries, and same for the
Hawkular APM UI.

Lars,
Indeed, the security mechanism for APM is very simple at the moment: it
uses JAAS, which is concretely implemented by the file-based auth from
Wildfly. The idea was that Red Hat SSO / Keycloak could be used in a
production setup, as the Wildfly Adapter is also implementing JAAS. In
fact, Keycloak *was* used in a previous iteration of the project.
At this point, however, we are focused on collaborating with Jaeger:
http://www.hawkular.org/blog/2017/04/19/hawkular-apm-jaeger.html
Even though we have not started discussing yet how we'll manage security
in Jaeger, I chatted with some colleagues from the Keycloak team last
week to see whether or not the usage of Keycloak Proxy as a sidecar
would make sense in an OpenShift deployment. There's no conclusion yet,
but it's something to be tested :)
At this moment, we have other priorities for Jaeger and the Keycloak
team is also busy with other tasks, but if this is a topic you'd be
interested in contributing, I'd be more than happy to share what I have
in mind.
