How To: Keycloak, Flowable and OpenLDAP

Flowable Engine
1

Not so long ago I wrote a series of posts about Flowable:

And recently I wrote about Getting started with Keycloak, Angular, OpenID Connect and Keycloak and Angular, OAuth 2.0 and Keycloak.

In this post, I’ll walk you through the steps I followed to get Keycloak to work with Flowable and OpenLDAP.

awesome work and its very useful for the dev community -thank you very much

I am finding it hard on how to run the same on Google Cloud Platform - Standard Environment would be great, but Flexible environment also works.

Helped me a lot!

Is it possible to query task from multiple ProcessEngines running on different ports in Serendipity ?

@Croburg Yes, it is possible :slight_smile:

Flowable’s REST API supports HTTP Basic Auth. So you would need to configure the REST API default user credentials (e.g., Username: flowable-rest and Password: test) and endpoints for each instance.

proxy.conf.json:

{
  "/engine-rest": {
    "target": "http://localhost:8080",
    "secure": false,
    "logLevel": "debug"
  },
  "/flowable-task-1": {
    "target": "http://localhost:5100",
    "secure": false,
    "logLevel": "debug",
    "headers": {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      "Authorization": "Basic Zmxvd2FibGUtcmVzdDp0ZXN0"
    }
  },
  "/flowable-task-2": {
    "target": "http://localhost:5101",
    "secure": false,
    "logLevel": "debug",
    "headers": {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      "Authorization": "Basic Zmxvd2FibGUtcmVzdDp0ZXN0"
    }
  },
  "/api": {
    "target": "http://localhost:3001",
    "secure": false,
    "logLevel": "debug"
  }
}

And, update the Task Service to check for tasks (GET runtime/tasks) in each engine instance.

Serendipity’s Developer Documentation includes a step by step guide to help you build and run (OpenLDAP, Keycloak, Flowable and) Serendipity.

If you run into any problems you can raise an issue.

Could you provide me an example…

Thanks for replying.

Since i´m very new to this and don´t have any experiences, i´m struggling to find a solution.
I set the ´processEngineUriPrefix`to "/process-api-0/ ",… and rewrite them to /process-api/. Continung with the approach to make multiple GetRequests with a loop, but can´t find a way to combine and return them properly.

const list = [0, 1];

for (const i in list) {
  const endpoint = `${this.processEngineUriPrefix}` + i + `/runtime/tasks`;

    this.httpClient.get<TaskListModel>(endpoint, this.getHttpOptions(params)).pipe(
    tap(() => {

      this.logger.info('TasksService: getTasks() completed' + i);

    }),
    catchError(error => {

      this.logger.info('TasksService: getTasks() -> catchError()');

      if (error === undefined) {

        error = new Error(HTTP_SERVER_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED);
        throw error;

      } else {

        return this.handleError('Get tasks', []);
        // return throwError(error);
      }

    })
  );

Does anybody have any suggestions?

br marko.
