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:

  1. Missing Docker configuration prevents container startup
  2. Environment configuration gaps require manual intervention
  3. Package version conflicts create build warnings
  4. 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

  1. docker-compose up starts all containers successfully on first try
  2. Authentication system works without any manual configuration steps
  3. No build warnings related to authentication packages
  4. Clear setup documentation for new developers
  5. 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 up succeeds without errors
      • All services start and pass health checks
      • Container-to-container communication works
  • 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
  • Task 3: Complete Environment Configuration

    • Create comprehensive .env.example file
      • 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 .env with working local development defaults
      • Ready-to-use values for immediate startup
      • Clear comments explaining each variable
      • Safe defaults that work out-of-the-box
  • 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-realm works without errors
      • Confirm test users are created successfully
      • Validate client configuration is applied correctly
    • Document any remaining manual steps (if unavoidable)
  • Task 5: Create Quick Start Documentation

    • Create AUTHENTICATION.md guide
      • 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
  • 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

Dev Notes

Critical Blockers Identified

Based on reality audit of Story 1.4, these items prevent immediate usability:

  1. Docker Configuration Missing

    • docker-compose.yml references Dockerfiles that may not exist
    • Container build failures prevent system startup
  2. Environment Variables Incomplete

    • Story mentions .env.example but file doesn't exist
    • Hardcoded values in docker-compose prevent customization
  3. Package Conflicts

    • Microsoft.IdentityModel version warnings indicate potential runtime issues
    • Build warnings reduce confidence in stability
  4. 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 clonedocker-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:

  1. Fresh Environment Test: Clone repository on clean machine
  2. One-Command Startup: docker-compose up succeeds completely
  3. Authentication Works: Can access protected pages through Keycloak
  4. No Manual Steps: No additional configuration required
  5. 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
