Provide some Authentication methods for Jhipster Console

[rifatdover]

Hi;

This will be a feature request for Jhipster Console.

It will be nice if it supports OAuth, AD, LDAP, SAML authentication. Maybe Keycloack will be a good option for it. To create such samples of configuration will be good.

Do you have anything about this in your plan?

This is a good idea, I have been planning to do something like that for a long time. I was thinking of doing this using an nginx proxy with basic auth.

nginx with basic auth is simple to implement but it has many drawbacks, I would rather use X-Pack or SearchGuard both written in java.. Alternatively, we could build our own proxy using a gateway.

[PierreBesson]

The best would be to find a solution for both the console and the registry in order to integrate them together, as the registry already has an embedded zuul server.

@PierreBesson please inform me here about how you are designing it? And I want to help as much as I can.

Any update on this request?

The solution was already suggested:

doing this using an nginx proxy with basic auth.

@Antarion : would you like to contribute and provide the solution ? Or maybe, just add the documentation part ?
