Hi Adam
When running payara-micro/server using micro-profile how do you go about implementing authentication for /health & /metrics, programatically?
The goal is to limit who can see metrics/health status, and log (remote ip) if somebody tries to do it that isn't allowed.
What I'm really interested in is implementing it in a jar that can be added with --addjars. This is meant to be in our payara docker image, so that all the services requires same authentication. Basically to ensure you don't forget to add configuration to your application to enable it.
Hi,
does it make sense to hide health checks behind any security? because you want to use them for your services in e.g. kubernetes to restart pods if they get unavailable. I think you only need to hold them inside your network so that nobody can call http://yourserver/health from outside the cluster (e.g. with nginx or other possibilities).
For the metrics there is already a security configuration if you add
<basicRegistry id="basic" realm="MicroProfileMetrics"> <user name="admin" password="adminadmin"/> <user name="nonadmin" password="guest" /> </basicRegistry> <administrator-role> <user>admin</user> </administrator-role>
to your server.xml then only someone who can login as admin can read it. Maybe there is also a configuration for JWT but I didn't found any so far.
