JBPM business central error After configuring database security domain

Question

I've been trying to configure JBPM to work with database authentication

I've followed the steps in the link https://techblogtoprogram.wordpress.com/2020/07/19/configuring-db-based-user-login-and-task-notifications-for-jbpm

and managed to authenticate successfully on business central with a database user however I get and error when ever I try to go to any page related to

--Manage process instance

--Manage process definitions etc..

the error is:

Invalid credentials to load data from remote server. Contact your system administrator.

with the following stack trace

Successful postman request to the same URL in the stack trace username: admin password admin

Answer 1

After digging deeper into the problem and a lot of jars decompile to investigate in the business-central.war itself

I decompiled class org.kie.server.client.impl.AbstractKieServicesClientImpl which is inside business-central.war\web-inf\lib\kie-server-client-7.71.0.Final.jar

and hard-coded my credentials in the request headers as follows

    protected <T> T makeHttpPostRequestAndCreateCustomResponse(String uri, final String body, Class<T> resultType,Map<String, String> headers) {
        //My hard coded username and password
        headers.put("Authorization", "Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=");
        //My hard coded username and password
        KieServerHttpRequest request = this.invoke(uri, new RemoteHttpOperation() {
            public KieServerHttpRequest doOperation(String url) {
                AbstractKieServicesClientImpl.logger.debug("About to send POST request to '{}' with payload '{}'", url, body);
                return AbstractKieServicesClientImpl.this.newRequest(url).headers(headers).body(body).post();
            }
        });
        KieServerHttpResponse response = request.response();
        this.owner.setConversationId(response.header("X-KIE-ConversationId"));
        if (response.code() != Status.OK.getStatusCode() && response.code() != Status.CREATED.getStatusCode()) {
            throw this.createExceptionForUnexpectedResponseCode(request, response);
        } else {
            return this.deserialize(response.body(), resultType);
        }
    }

    protected KieServerHttpRequest newRequest(String uri) {
        KieServerHttpRequest httpRequest = KieServerHttpRequest.newRequest(uri).followRedirects(true).timeout(this.config.getTimeout());
        httpRequest.accept(this.getMediaType(this.config.getMarshallingFormat()));
        httpRequest.header("X-KIE-ContentType", this.config.getMarshallingFormat().toString());
        if (this.config.getHeaders() != null) {
            Iterator var3 = this.config.getHeaders().entrySet().iterator();

            while(var3.hasNext()) {
                Map.Entry<String, String> header = (Map.Entry)var3.next();
                httpRequest.header((String)header.getKey(), header.getValue());
                logger.debug("Adding additional header {} value {}", header.getKey(), header.getValue());
            }
        }

        if (this.config.getCredentialsProvider() != null) {
            String authorization = this.config.getCredentialsProvider().getAuthorization();
            if (authorization != null && !authorization.isEmpty()) {
                httpRequest.header(this.config.getCredentialsProvider().getHeaderName(), authorization);
            }
        }

        httpRequest.clientCertificate(this.config.getClientCertificate());
        if (this.owner.getConversationId() != null) {
            httpRequest.header("X-KIE-ConversationId", this.owner.getConversationId());
        }
        //My hard coded username and password
        httpRequest.header("Authorization", "Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=");
        //My hard coded username and password
        return httpRequest;
    }

recompiled the class and repackaged the jar and some how this fixed the problem

I don't know if this is a bug in business-cenral or I misconfigured some thing

but the below configuration I'm using contains the same user name and password.

        <property name="org.kie.server.user" value="admin"/>
        <property name="org.kie.server.pwd" value="admin"/>
        <property name="org.kie.server.controller.user" value="admin"/>
        <property name="org.kie.server.controller.pwd" value="admin"/>
        <property name="org.kie.server.persistence.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect"/>
        <property name="org.kie.server.id" value="sample-server"/>
        <property name="org.kie.server.location" value="http://localhost:8080/kie-server/services/rest/server"/>
        <property name="org.kie.server.controller" value="http://localhost:8080/business-central/rest/controller"/>

Answer 2

Same issue here. I've installed the whole thing in 3 different servers:

Business-monitoring webapp <--> kie-server-controller <--> kie-server

I'm able to connect the controller to the bcm, and then the kie-server to the controller. That way I'm able to deploy stuff from bcm to kie-server through contoller, and the deployment goes green.

However, when I try to see the process definitions, I see the same error.

I have created the same user in all the instances with all the required roles. So weird...
