Start Service#

New in version 2.0.

ESS provides a service that acts as the starting point for the ESS user interface.

Start Service Endpoint#

ESS Start Service hosts an application that runs at:

https://start.{ESS Domain}

ESS Start Application#

The ESS’ start application allows a user to sign up or login with the Identity Provider. You can replace the default start application with a custom start application.

Create a WebID#

Start applications can call ESS’ WebID service to create a WebID and manage the WebID profile document. The application can derive the WebID service’s endpoints by concatenating:

  • the WebID Service’s base URL and

  • the username portion of the webid claim (from the ID token).

Create a Pod for WebID#

Start applications can call ESS’ Pod provision service to provision the Pod for the user.

Add Pod Location to WebID Profile#

Once provisioned, start applications can call the ESS’ WebID service to update the WebID profile document with the Pod location.

Start Application Configuration#

To use with the various ESS services, the following configuration options must be set to the start application’s Solid-OIDC Client ID:

For example, the default ESS start application has https://start.{ESS DOMAIN}/app/id as its Client ID, and the provided overlays use this value in the configuration.

If using a custom start application, update the configuration to the the custom start application’s Client ID.

See Use a Custom Start Application.

Configuration#

As part of the installation process, Inrupt provides base Kustomize overlays and associated files that require deployment-specific configuration inputs.

The following configuration options are available for the service and may be set as part of updating the inputs for your deployment. The Inrupt-provided base Kustomize overlays may be using updated configuration values that differ from the default values.

INRUPT_PROVISION_HTTP_BASE_URL#

The base URL of the Pod Provisioning Service.

Important

The value requires a trailing slash /; e.g., https://provision.{ESS_DOMAIN}/.

The ESS’ Start application uses this value to determine the ESS’ Pod provisioning endpoint.

INRUPT_WEBID_HTTP_BASE_URL#

The base URL of the WebID Service.

Important

The value requires a trailing slash /; e.g., https://id.{ESS DOMAIN}/.

The ESS’ Start application uses this value to determine the base URL of the ESS’ WebID service endpoints.

QUARKUS_LOG_LEVEL#

Default: INFO

Logging level.

QUARKUS_OIDC_AUTH_SERVER_URL#

The URL of the Solid OIDC Broker Service.

QUARKUS_OIDC_CLIENT_ID#

Default: https://start.{ESS DOMAIN}/app/id

The Solid-OIDC Client ID (i.e., the URL that dereferences to a Client ID document) of the start app for signing in/up with the Identity Provider.

See also:

Important

Please ensure that the INRUPT_WEBID_ALLOWED_CLIENT_IDS includes the value used for the Start service Client ID, defined in INRUPT_START_CLIENT_ID.

Configuration Logging#

Starting in 2.2, ESS services log their startup configuration.

INRUPT_LOGGING_CONFIGURATION_PREFIX_ALLOW#

Default: inrupt,quarkus.oidc.auth-server-url

A comma-separated list of configuration property prefixes (case-sensitive) that determine which configurations are logged:

When specifying the prefixes, you can specify the prefixes using one of two formats:

Warning

Use the same format for both INRUPT_LOGGING_CONFIGURATION_PREFIX_ALLOW and INRUPT_LOGGING_CONFIGURATION_PREFIX_DENY.

For example, if you change the format of INRUPT_LOGGING_CONFIGURATION_PREFIX_ALLOW, change the format of INRUPT_LOGGING_CONFIGURATION_PREFIX_DENY as well.

Tip

To avoid allowing more than desired configurations, specify as much of the prefix as possible. If the prefix specifies the complete prefix term, include the term delineator. For example:

  • If using dot-notation, if you want to match configuration properties of the form foobar.<xxxx>..., specify foobar. (including the dot .) instead of, for example, foo or foobar.

  • If using converted form, if you want to match configuration properties of the form FOOBAR_<XXXX>..., specify FOOBAR_ (including the underscore _) instead of, for example, FOO or FOOBAR.

New in version 2.2.0.

INRUPT_LOGGING_CONFIGURATION_PREFIX_DENY#

Default:

A comma-separated list of configuration name prefixes (case-sensitive) that determines which configurations (that would otherwise match the INRUPT_LOGGING_CONFIGURATION_PREFIX_ALLOW) are not logged. That is, INRUPT_LOGGING_CONFIGURATION_PREFIX_DENY acts as a filter on INRUPT_LOGGING_CONFIGURATION_PREFIX_ALLOW. For example:

  • If foobar. is an allowed prefix, to suppress foobar.private.<anything>, you can specify foobar.private. to the deny list.

  • If foobar. is not an allowed prefix, no property starting with foobar. is logged. As such, you do not need to specify foobar.private to the deny list.

When specifying the prefixes, you can specify the prefixes using one of two formats:

Warning

Use the same format for both INRUPT_LOGGING_CONFIGURATION_PREFIX_ALLOW and INRUPT_LOGGING_CONFIGURATION_PREFIX_DENY.

For example, if you change the format of INRUPT_LOGGING_CONFIGURATION_PREFIX_ALLOW, change the format of INRUPT_LOGGING_CONFIGURATION_PREFIX_DENY as well.

New in version 2.2.0.

Logging Redaction#

INRUPT_LOGGING_REDACTION_NAME_ACTION#

Default: REPLACE

Type of the redaction to perform. Supported values are:

Action

Description

REPLACE

Default. Replaces the matching text with a specified replacement.

PLAIN

Leaves the matching field unprocessed. Only available if the redaction target is a field (i.e., INRUPT_LOGGING_REDACTION_{NAME}_FIELD).

DROP

Suppresses the matching field. Only available if the redaction target is a field (i.e., INRUPT_LOGGING_REDACTION_{NAME}_FIELD).

PRIORITIZE

Changes the log level of the matching message.

SHA256

Replaces the matching text with its hash.

  • If the action is REPLACE (default), see also INRUPT_LOGGING_REDACTION_{NAME}_REPLACEMENT.

  • If the action is to PRIORITIZE, see also INRUPT_LOGGING_REDACTION_{NAME}_LEVEL.

For more information on log redaction, see Logging Redaction.

New in version 2.2.0.

INRUPT_LOGGING_REDACTION_NAME_ENABLED#
