Story 1.4-R: Authentication Configuration Remediation
Status
Ready
Story
As a developer,
I want the authentication system from Story 1.4 to be immediately usable without manual configuration,
so that I can start development work that depends on authentication without encountering setup blockers.
Dependencies
- Story 1.4: Basic Authentication Setup (Complete - Implementation)
Background
Story 1.4 successfully implemented the complete authentication system, but analysis revealed critical gaps that prevent immediate productive use:
- Missing Docker configuration prevents container startup
- Environment configuration gaps require manual intervention
- Package version conflicts create build warnings
- Missing documentation for immediate development use
This remediation focuses only on critical blockers that prevent the authentication system from being immediately usable for development.
Acceptance Criteria
docker-compose upstarts all containers successfully on first try- Authentication system works without any manual configuration steps
- No build warnings related to authentication packages
- Clear setup documentation for new developers
- All environment variables properly configured with working defaults
Tasks / Subtasks
-
Task 1: Fix Docker Container Configuration
- Create missing Dockerfiles
- API Dockerfile with proper multi-stage build
- Web Dockerfile with Blazor Server configuration
- Verify all COPY and build commands work correctly
- Fix docker-compose.yml container references
- Update build contexts to point to existing Dockerfiles
- Verify container networking configuration
- Test container health checks work properly
- Validate complete docker-compose startup
docker-compose upsucceeds without errors- All services start and pass health checks
- Container-to-container communication works
- Create missing Dockerfiles
-
Task 2: Resolve Package Version Conflicts
- Analyze Microsoft.IdentityModel package conflicts
- Identify conflicting versions (6.35.0 vs 7.0.3)
- Determine compatibility requirements
- Update to consistent version across all projects
- Test after version resolution
- Clean build succeeds without warnings
- All authentication functionality still works
- No runtime errors introduced
- Update project documentation with final versions
- Analyze Microsoft.IdentityModel package conflicts
-
Task 3: Complete Environment Configuration
- Create comprehensive
.env.examplefile- All Keycloak configuration variables
- Database connection strings
- Application URLs and ports
- Security settings with safe defaults
- Update docker-compose.yml to use environment file
- Add env_file references where needed
- Remove hardcoded values
- Ensure consistent variable naming
- Create
.envwith working local development defaults- Ready-to-use values for immediate startup
- Clear comments explaining each variable
- Safe defaults that work out-of-the-box
- Create comprehensive
-
Task 4: Fix Keycloak Client Configuration
- Update realm JSON with working client configuration
- Fix client secret handling for omniwatchai-web client
- Ensure redirect URIs match local development setup
- Verify client scopes and roles are properly configured
- Test realm import functionality
- Verify
--import-realmworks without errors - Confirm test users are created successfully
- Validate client configuration is applied correctly
- Verify
- Document any remaining manual steps (if unavoidable)
- Update realm JSON with working client configuration
-
Task 5: Create Quick Start Documentation
- Create
AUTHENTICATION.mdguide- Step-by-step setup instructions
- Prerequisites and dependencies
- Troubleshooting common issues
- How to verify authentication is working
- Update main README.md with authentication section
- Link to detailed authentication guide
- Quick setup commands
- Development workflow integration
- Add inline code comments for complex authentication setup
- Program.cs authentication configuration
- Key configuration sections
- Integration points developers need to know
- Create
-
Task 6: Smoke Test Implementation
- Create minimal smoke test for authentication flow
- Verify Keycloak starts and accepts connections
- Test basic realm configuration is loaded
- Confirm API accepts JWT tokens
- Validate Web app can redirect to Keycloak
- Add smoke test to docker-compose
- Health check containers that validate authentication
- Clear pass/fail indicators in logs
- Automatic test execution on startup
- Document how to run smoke tests manually
- Create minimal smoke test for authentication flow
Dev Notes
Critical Blockers Identified
Based on reality audit of Story 1.4, these items prevent immediate usability:
-
Docker Configuration Missing
- docker-compose.yml references Dockerfiles that may not exist
- Container build failures prevent system startup
-
Environment Variables Incomplete
- Story mentions
.env.examplebut file doesn't exist - Hardcoded values in docker-compose prevent customization
- Story mentions
-
Package Conflicts
- Microsoft.IdentityModel version warnings indicate potential runtime issues
- Build warnings reduce confidence in stability
-
Keycloak Import Issues
- Realm import automation partially failing
- Requires specific client configuration for development use
Out of Scope
This remediation explicitly excludes:
- Comprehensive integration testing (Story 1.4b)
- Performance optimization
- Production deployment configuration
- Advanced security features
- New authentication features
Success Metrics
- New developer can run
git clone→docker-compose up→ working authentication - Zero manual configuration steps required for basic development
- All build warnings resolved
- Clear documentation for next steps
Acceptance Testing
To verify successful remediation:
- Fresh Environment Test: Clone repository on clean machine
- One-Command Startup:
docker-compose upsucceeds completely - Authentication Works: Can access protected pages through Keycloak
- No Manual Steps: No additional configuration required
- Clean Build: No warnings or errors in build output
Technical Requirements
- All containers start successfully
- Keycloak realm imports automatically
- JWT authentication validates correctly
- Blazor authentication redirects work
- Health endpoints respond properly
- No package version conflicts
Time Estimate
1-2 days focused remediation work
Task Breakdown
- Task 1 (Docker): 4-6 hours
- Task 2 (Packages): 1-2 hours
- Task 3 (Environment): 2-3 hours
- Task 4 (Keycloak): 3-4 hours
- Task 5 (Documentation): 2-3 hours
- Task 6 (Smoke Tests): 2-3 hours
Risk Factors
- Docker configuration complexity
- Keycloak realm import unpredictability
- Package dependency resolution
