Client Username Configuration Example

Configuration in this directory creates a client username on the PubSub+ event broker, leveraging the Client Terraform module.

The example shows how to set the sensitive password variable with a .tfvars file, as described in the Protect sensitive input variables Terraform tutorial.

Module Configuration in the Example

Required Inputs

• msg_vpn_name - Set to default in the example.
• client_identifier_type - Set to client_username in the example.
• client_identifier_name - Set to myclient in the example.
• client_profile_name - Set to default in the example.
• acl_profile_name - Set to default in the example.

Optional Inputs

• password - this example demonstrates when the client username is also used for authentication purposes if basic authentication with internal database has been configured for the Message VPN. In this case a password needs to be specified, which is shown in the example.

Optional module input variables have the same name as the attributes of the underlying provider resource. If omitted, then the default for the related resource attribute will be configured on the broker. For a list of attributes and the corresponding defaults, see the documentation of "solacebroker_msg_vpn_client_username".

The module default for the enabled variable is true, which enables the client username.

Output

The module client_username output refers to the created client username.

Created Resources

This example will create the following resources:

• solacebroker_msg_vpn_client_username

Running the Example

Access to a PubSub+ Event Broker

If you don't already have access to a broker, see the Developers page for options to get started.

Sample Source Code

The sample is available from the module GitHub repo:

git clone https://github.com/SolaceProducts/terraform-solacebroker-rest-delivery.git
cd examples/basic-client-username

Adjust the Provider Configuration

Adjust the provider parameters in main.tf according to your broker. The example configuration shows settings for a local broker running in Docker.

Create the Resource

Tip: You can verify configuration changes on the broker, before and after, using the PubSub+ Broker Manager Web UI.

Execute from this folder:

terraform init
terraform plan -var-file="secret.tfvars"
terraform apply -var-file="secret.tfvars"

Run terraform destroy to clean up the created resources when they are no longer needed.
