Installation Steps#
Before initiating the setup, please obtain an SSA for Flex trial, after which you will issued a JWT.
Start a fresh Ubuntu 18.04/20.04/22.04 VM with ports 443 and 80 open. Then execute the following:
sudo su -
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GluuFederation/flex/v5.1.5/automation/startflexdemo.sh && chmod u+x startflexdemo.sh && ./startflexdemo.sh
This will install Docker, Microk8s, Helm and Gluu with the default settings that can be found inside values.yaml.
The installer will automatically add a record to your hosts record in the VM but if you want to access the endpoints outside the VM you must map the ip of the instance running Ubuntu to the FQDN you provided and then access the endpoints at your browser such in the example in the table below.
| Service | Example endpoint |
|---|---|
| Auth server | https://FQDN/.well-known/openid-configuration |
| fido2 | https://FQDN/.well-known/fido2-configuration |
| scim | https://FQDN/.well-known/scim-configuration |
| Casa | https://FQDN/jans-casa |
| Admin-UI | https://FQDN/admin |
Configure Gluu Flex#
You can use the Janssen TUI to configure Flex components. The TUI calls the Config API to perform ad hoc configuration.
