Talking to UAA Instace

  • Install uaac-client using command gem install cf-uaac
  • If you don't have gem installed on your machine, Please do so. If you run into issues, Please try reading about rvm.
  • bind the todo-server with the uaa instance created. cf bs todo-server uaa. Don't restart the todo-server yet.
  • do a cf env todo-server and search for predix-uaa. You should be able to see something like
     "predix-uaa": [
     {
         "credentials": {
         "issuerId": "https://<UAA_INSTANCE_ID>.predix-uaa.run.aws-usw02-pr.ice.predix.io/oauth/token",
         "uri": "https://<UAA_INSTANCE_ID>.predix-uaa.run.aws-usw02-pr.ice.predix.io",
         "zone": {
             "http-header-name": "X-Identity-Zone-Id",
             "http-header-value": "<UAA_INSTANCE_ID>"
             }
         },
         "label": "predix-uaa",
         "name": "uaa",
         "plan": "beta",
         "tags": []
     }
]
  • Target uaac to UAA Instance. uaac target https://<UAA_INSTANCE_ID>.predix-uaa.run.aws-usw02-pr.ice.predix.io
  • Create a context with uaac uaac token client get admin -s <CLIENT_SECRET> where CLIENT_SECRET is the secret that was created here

Tips

  • Installing any managing ruby versions and gems is easier if you have ruby-version-manager installed
  • You might need to specify your proxy when installing cf-uaac: sudo gem install --http-proxy http://proxy-src.research.ge.com:8080 cf-uaac
