# SSO Guide (Deprecated)

Deprecated. See OAuth2 guides

## How to configure SSO

SSO require additionaly to configure TLS for application, in that example we will use self-signed certificate, in case of use legal certificates please skip step 1.

### Step 1

At this step we will generate self-signed PKCS12 keypair.

```bash
mkdir cert
keytool -genkeypair -alias ui-for-apache-kafka -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 \
  -storetype PKCS12 -keystore cert/ui-for-apache-kafka.p12 -validity 3650
```

### Step 2

Create new application in any SSO provider, we will continue with [Auth0](https://auth0.com).

After that need to provide callback URLs, in our case we will use `https://127.0.0.1:8080/login/oauth2/code/auth0`

This is a main parameters required for enabling SSO

### Step 3

To launch Kafbat UI with enabled TLS and SSO run following:

```bash
docker run -p 8080:8080 -v `pwd`/cert:/opt/cert -e AUTH_TYPE=LOGIN_FORM \
  -e SECURITY_BASIC_ENABLED=true \
  -e SERVER_SSL_KEY_STORE_TYPE=PKCS12 \
  -e SERVER_SSL_KEY_STORE=/opt/cert/ui-for-apache-kafka.p12 \
  -e SERVER_SSL_KEY_STORE_PASSWORD=123456 \
  -e SERVER_SSL_KEY_ALIAS=ui-for-apache-kafka \
  -e SERVER_SSL_ENABLED=true \
  -e SPRING_SECURITY_OAUTH2_CLIENT_REGISTRATION_AUTH0_CLIENTID=uhvaPKIHU4ZF8Ne4B6PGvF0hWW6OcUSB \
  -e SPRING_SECURITY_OAUTH2_CLIENT_REGISTRATION_AUTH0_CLIENTSECRET=YXfRjmodifiedTujnkVr7zuW9ECCAK4TcnCio-i \
  -e SPRING_SECURITY_OAUTH2_CLIENT_PROVIDER_AUTH0_ISSUER_URI=https://dev-a63ggcut.auth0.com/ \
  -e SPRING_SECURITY_OAUTH2_CLIENT_REGISTRATION_AUTH0_SCOPE=openid \
  -e TRUST_STORE=/opt/cert/ui-for-apache-kafka.p12 \
  -e TRUST_STORE_PASSWORD=123456 \
ghcr.io/kafbat/kafka-ui
```

In the case with trusted CA-signed SSL certificate and SSL termination somewhere outside of application we can pass only SSO related environment variables:

```bash
docker run -p 8080:8080 -v `pwd`/cert:/opt/cert -e AUTH_TYPE=OAUTH2 \
  -e SPRING_SECURITY_OAUTH2_CLIENT_REGISTRATION_AUTH0_CLIENTID=uhvaPKIHU4ZF8Ne4B6PGvF0hWW6OcUSB \
  -e SPRING_SECURITY_OAUTH2_CLIENT_REGISTRATION_AUTH0_CLIENTSECRET=YXfRjmodifiedTujnkVr7zuW9ECCAK4TcnCio-i \
  -e SPRING_SECURITY_OAUTH2_CLIENT_PROVIDER_AUTH0_ISSUER_URI=https://dev-a63ggcut.auth0.com/ \
  -e SPRING_SECURITY_OAUTH2_CLIENT_REGISTRATION_AUTH0_SCOPE=openid \
ghcr.io/kafbat/kafka-ui
```

### Step 4 (Load Balancer HTTP) (optional)

If you're using load balancer/proxy and use HTTP between the proxy and the app, you might want to set `server_forward-headers-strategy` to `native` as well (`SERVER_FORWARDHEADERSSTRATEGY=native`), for more info refer to [this issue](https://github.com/kafbat/kafka-ui/issues/1017).

### Step 5 (Azure) (optional)

For Azure AD (Office365) OAUTH2 you'll want to add additional environment variables:

```bash
docker run -p 8080:8080 \
        -e KAFKA_CLUSTERS_0_NAME="${cluster_name}"\
        -e KAFKA_CLUSTERS_0_BOOTSTRAPSERVERS="${kafka_listeners}" \
        -e KAFKA_CLUSTERS_0_ZOOKEEPER="${zookeeper_servers}" \
        -e KAFKA_CLUSTERS_0_KAFKACONNECT_0_ADDRESS="${kafka_connect_servers}"
        -e AUTH_TYPE=OAUTH2 \
        -e AUTH_OAUTH2_CLIENT_AZURE_CLIENTID="xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" \
        -e AUTH_OAUTH2_CLIENT_AZURE_CLIENTSECRET="somesecret" \
        -e AUTH_OAUTH2_CLIENT_AZURE_SCOPE="openid" \
        -e AUTH_OAUTH2_CLIENT_AZURE_CLIENTNAME="azure" \
        -e AUTH_OAUTH2_CLIENT_AZURE_PROVIDER="azure" \
        -e AUTH_OAUTH2_CLIENT_AZURE_ISSUERURI="https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant_id}/v2.0" \
        -e AUTH_OAUTH2_CLIENT_AZURE_JWKSETURI="https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant_id}/discovery/v2.0/keys" \
        -d ghcr.io/kafbat/kafka-ui"
```

Note that scope is created by default when Application registration is done in Azure portal. You'll need to update application registration manifest to include `"accessTokenAcceptedVersion": 2`

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://ui.docs.kafbat.io/configuration/authentication/for-the-ui/sso-guide.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
