Icinga Director Self Service API Not Working After Keycloak Activation
After updating to NetEye version 4.38 and activating authentication via Keycloak, the Icinga Director Self Service API no longer works.
For instance if you install the Icinga agents using a Powershell script that automatically creates the host objects in the Icinga Director when it’s called, then this process will no longer work.
That means you can no longer roll out new agents using this procedure. Until this error is fixed, you must use the following workaround, which involves changing the authentication method in the file /usr/share/icingaweb2/modules/neteye/library/Neteye/Authentication/OAuthBackend.php by adding these four lines:
public function authenticate(User $user, $password = null){
// Start workaround
$currentPath = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH);
if (strpos($currentPath, '/neteye/director/self-service') === 0) {
return false;
}
// End workaround
// Skip the backend if the user is already authenticated
$auth = Auth::getInstance();
if ($auth->getUser() !== null) {
…
If you have a NetEye cluster system, you must make this change on all master nodes. After this change, you don’t need to restart any services.
The resolution of this problem should be available in the next few weeks via a NetEye update.
