Admin Portal UI

The Admin Portal UI (admin-portal-ui) is an administrative user interface component of Consent2Share (C2S) used to create and manage patient accounts. Administrative staff can use this to log in, visit their home page, create patient accounts, and manage patient information.

Build

Prerequisites

Oracle Java JDK 8 with Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy
Docker Engine (for building a Docker image from the project)
Node.js (Optional, see Structure for details)
Grunt (Optional, see Structure for details)

Structure

There are two main modules in this project:

client: This folder contains all frontend user interface code which is written using Angular v1.5.
server: This folder contains a Spring Boot project, which is primarily responsible for packaging and serving the static resources that are built from the client module. This is also an Apache Maven project and utilizes Frontend Maven Plugin to:
1. locally install Node.js and the client module Node.js dependencies;
2. build the client module using locally installed Grunt Node.js package. Finally, it uses Apache Maven Resources Plugin to copy the resources that are built from the client module into the server module that will be eventually packaged as a build artifact in jar format. Therefore, there is no need to install Node.js or Grunt globally if server module is built with Maven.

Commands

This Maven project requires Apache Maven 3.3.3 or greater to build it. It is recommended to use the Maven Wrapper scripts provided with this project. Maven Wrapper requires an internet connection to download Maven and project dependencies for the very first build.

To build the project, navigate to the folder that contains pom.xml file using terminal/command line.

To build a JAR:
- For Windows, run mvnw.cmd clean install
- For *nix systems, run mvnw clean install
To build a Docker Image (this will create an image with bhits/admin-portal-ui:latest tag):
- For Windows, run mvnw.cmd clean package docker:build
- For *nix systems, run mvnw clean package docker:build

Note: Frontend developers can build client and server modules separately and save build time by skipping the full Grunt build when not needed. This option requires Grunt to be installed globally.

Build the client module: run grunt build:dev in the client folder
Start Grunt watch task to monitor the changes in the client module: run grunt watch in the client folder
Manually repackage the jar file from the server module when Grunt watch re-compiles a resource: run mvnw.cmd clean install -PskipGrunt in the server folder

Run

Commands

This is a Spring Boot project and serves the project via an embedded Tomcat instance. Therefore there is no need for a separate application server to run it.

Run as a JAR file: java -jar admin-portal-ui-x.x.x-SNAPSHOT.jar <additional program arguments>
Run as a Docker Container: docker run -d bhits/admin-portal-ui:latest <additional program arguments>

NOTE: In order for this application to fully function as a microservice in C2S Application, it is also required to setup the dependency microservices and support level infrastructure. Please refer to the C2S Deployment Guide for instructions to setup the C2S infrastructure.

Configure

Server Configuration

The server component is primarily responsible for serving the static client content. The configuration in server module is mostly for C2S infrastructure requirements.

NOTE: The Admin Portal UI uses HTML5 mode for the URL format in the browser address bar and it also uses /fe as the base for all Angular routes. Therefore, the server component forwards all paths that starts with /fe to root.

In the AdminUIApplication.java:

...
  @RequestMapping(value = "/fe/**")
      public String redirect() {
          return "forward:/";
      }
...

Enable SSL

For simplicity in development and testing environments, SSL is NOT enabled by default configuration. SSL can easily be enabled following the examples below:

Enable SSL While Running as a JAR

java -jar admin-portal-ui-x.x.x-SNAPSHOT.jar --spring.profiles.active=ssl --server.ssl.key-store=/path/to/ssl_keystore.keystore --server.ssl.key-store-password=strongkeystorepassword

Enable SSL While Running as a Docker Container

docker run -d -v "/path/on/dockerhost/ssl_keystore.keystore:/path/to/ssl_keystore.keystore" bhits/admin-portal-ui:latest --spring.profiles.active=ssl --server.ssl.key-store=/path/to/ssl_keystore.keystore --server.ssl.key-store-password=strongkeystorepassword
In the docker-compose.yml, this can be provided as:

...
  admin-ui.c2s.com:
    image: "bhits/admin-portal-ui:latest"
    command: ["--spring.profiles.active=ssl","--server.ssl.key-store=/path/to/ssl_keystore.keystore", "--server.ssl.key-store-password=strongkeystorepassword"]
    volumes:
      - /path/on/dockerhost/ssl_keystore.keystore:/path/to/ssl_keystore.keystore
...

NOTE: As seen in the examples above, /path/to/ssl_keystore.keystore is made available to the container via a volume mounted from the Docker host running this container.

Override Java CA Certificates Store In Docker Environment

Java has a default CA Certificates Store that allows it to trust well-known certificate authorities. For development and testing purposes, one might want to trust additional self-signed certificates. In order to override the default Java CA Certificates Store in Docker container, one can mount a custom cacerts file over the default one in the Docker image as docker run -d -v "/path/on/dockerhost/to/custom/cacerts:/etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts" bhits/admin-portal-ui:latest

NOTE: The cacerts references given in the both sides of volume mapping above are files, not directories.

Client Configuration

This project runs with some default configuration that is primarily targeted for development environment. You can change the default configuration in the gruntfile, but you need to rebuild the project after any changes.

Please see the default configuration as a guidance and adjust the environment specific configurations as needed.

Examples for Changing Configuration in Grunt

In the gruntfile.js, locate the dev environment configuration. After adjusting the configuration as needed, rebuild the project as defined in the Build section.

...
  dev: {
      options: {
          dest: '<%= config_dir %>/config.js'
      },
      constants: {
          envService: {
              name: 'Development',
              version:'<%= pkg.version %>',
              base64BasicKey: 'newvalue',
...

NOTE: The base64BasicKey value is used for User Account and Authentication (UAA) Password Grant type. This configuration should be Base 64 encoded client_id:client_secret value. The client_id refers to the OAuth2 Client ID assigned to the Admin Portal UI by UAA. C2S uses admin-portal-ui as the default client_id for this application.
