AuthZforce use without fiware enablers


Can the Fiware enabler AuthZforce be used without keyrock and wilma? can it be used using others pep and IDM?


Solution

  • Yes, it can. The AuthZForce API is not designed specifically for KeyRock/Wilma. Just to clarify, KeyRock consumes the PAP API of AuthZForce, and Wilma consumes the PDP API of AuthZForce. To achieve that, the KeyRock/Wilma team have developed their own AuthZForce API connectors, i.e. the client part that consumes AuthZForce API. So if you use another PEP/IdM, you have to develop a similar connector for this particular PEP/IdM, if it is not already there. A the end of the user guide, we give some hint to help develop your own Authzforce API client. In any case, all you need is a good HTTP/REST/XML framework to start with.
