Chapter 17. Red Hat Process Automation Manager roles and users To access Business Central or KIE Server, you must create users and assign them appropriate roles before the servers are started. You can create users and roles when you install Business Central or KIE Server.

However, if Business Central and KIE Server are running on different instances, a user who is authenticated for Business Central must be authenticated separately to access KIE Server. For example, if a user who is authenticated on Business Central but not authenticated on KIE Server tries to view or manage process definitions in Business Central, a 401 error is logged in the log file and the Invalid credentials to load data from remote server.

Adding Red Hat Process Automation Manager users Before you can use RH-SSO to authenticate Business Central or KIE Server, you must add users to the realm that you created. To add new users and assign them a role to access Red Hat Process Automation Manager, complete the following steps: Log in to the RH-SSO Admin Console and open the realm that you want to add a user to. Click the Users menu item under the Manage section. An empty user list appears on the Users page. Click the Add User button on the empty user list to start creating your new user. The Add User page opens. On the Add User page, enter the user information and click Save . Click the Credentials tab and create a password. Assign the new user one of the roles that allows access to Red Hat Process Automation Manager. For example, assign the admin role to access Business Central or assign the kie-server role to access KIE Server. Note For projects that deploy from Business Central on OpenShift, create an RH-SSO user called mavenuser without any role assigned, then add this user to the BUSINESS_CENTRAL_MAVEN_USERNAME and BUSINESS_CENTRAL_MAVEN_PASSWORD in your OpenShift template. Define the roles as realm roles in the Realm Roles tab under the Roles section. Alternatively, for roles used in Business Central, you can define the roles as client roles for the kie client. For instructions about configuring the kie client, see Section 18.1, "Creating the Business Central client for RH-SSO" . To use client roles, you must also configure additional settings for Business Central, as described in Section 18.2, "Installing the RH-SSO client adapter for Business Central" . You must define roles used in KIE Server as realm roles. Click the Role Mappings tab on the Users page to assign roles.
