👤Authentication

By default, the application uses Identity SaaS. See AxaGuilDEv/react-oidc. The authentication is executed using a secure token which will also contain information about the logged user like: user data and roles.

In order to connect your new application to an identity server, the following configuration variables must be filled in .env file:

IDENTITY_API_URL -> Identity API url, your Identity server API url 

IDENTITY_AUTHORITY -> Identity authority

IDENTITY_OPENID_CONFIGURATION -> Identity openId configuration

A user can have one or more roles from the following list:

• admin (tenant_admin)

• user (tenant_user)

• global_admin (only with multi-tenancy)

If you want to use another authentication service, the following files must be modified:

• src/index.js

• src/utils/auth

• src/providers/AuthenticationProvider.js

• src/components/routing/CustomRoute.js

⚠ RECOMMENDATION! ⚠

It is HIGHLY recommended to use <CustomRoute /> component when defining a new route. This is an enhanced version of the basic react-router-dom's <Route /> component. In addition, it allows a more deeper customization of a route and by default it comes with the following configuration parameters:

• isPrivate: if set to True, allows only the logged in users to access the route.

• roles: a list of predefined roles. For more details see Authorization;
