The GWA Developer Key application requires OAuth application access to the organization (bcgov-keygen) that the developers must be a member of.
- Open the OAuth applications configuration page for the GitHub organization https://github.com/organizations/gwa-qa/settings/applications - Delivery & Test https://github.com/organizations/bcgov/settings/applications - Production
- Click Register a new application and Enter the following fields.
- Application name: gwa-(prod,test,delivery)
- Homepage URL: https://gwa(-t,-d).apps.gov.bc.ca
- Application Description: GWA Developer key for
- Authorization callback URL: https://gwa(-t,-d).apps.gov.bc.ca/git/callback
- Click Register application
- Record the Client ID and Client Secret for the configuration.
- Create a new http://github.com user account that will only be used for managing organization (bcgov-keygen) access.
- Add the new user as an admin for the organization (bcgov-keygen).
- Login as the new user.
- Using https://github.com/settings/tokens generate a new personal access token with the admin:org permission.
- Record the generated token for use in the gwaGitHubAccessToken configuration.
The application supports the following configuration properties.
Name | Description | Sample Value |
---|---|---|
gwaTermsUrl | URL to terms of us page | http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content?id=D1EE0A405E584363B205CD4353E02C88 |
gwaKongAdminUrl | URL to kong rest API | http://localhost:8001 |
gwaKongAdminUsername | Username for kong rest API | kong |
gwaKongAdminPassword | Password for kong rest API | dgdftyftye |
gwaGitHubOrganization | GitHub Org name | bcgov-keygen |
gwaGitHubClientId | GitHub Org Client ID | abcdefgh0123456789123 |
gwaGitHubClientSecret | GitHub Ord Client Secret | abcdefgh01234567890123456789012345678912 |
gwaGitHubAccessToken | GitHub Personal Access Token of Organization Owner | abcdefgh01234567890123456789012345678912 |
gwaApiKeyExpiryDays | Number of days before developer API keys expire | 90 |
Create the config/gwa.properties file containing the above properties. This directory must be in the working directory that the servlet container runs in.
Container | Dedicated |
Context Path | / |
Application URL | https://gwa.apps.gov.bc.ca/ |
- https://gwa.apps.gov.bc.ca/ - Developer Keys
- https://gwa.apps.gov.bc.ca/int/ - Gateway (Kong) Administration
The first time the application is deployed Kong must be configured to allow access for the first admin user. Further users can be added using the GWA.
Access Gateway Admin URL in a web browser and login using your IDIR account.
https://gwa.apps.gov.bc.ca/int/
This will create a kong consumer for your account.
The consumer username will be all lower case in the form idir_ (e.g. idir_pxaustin).
Add the consumer to the gwa_admin group.
curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/consumers/idir_<accountName>/acls \
--data "group=gwa_admin"
Wait 2 minutes for the cache of users groups to clear then access the Gateway Admin. You should now be granted access.
https://gwa.apps.gov.bc.ca/int/
Applications such as the API Console can request access to a user's API key so that they can use it to access APIs.
The applications request the API key via the following page and parameters. The user will be required to login to GitHub and authorize access for the application to their API key.
https://gwa.apps.gov.bc.ca/ui/apiKeys
Parameter | Description | Example |
---|---|---|
appName | The REQUIRED name of the application that is requesting access to the user's API key. | API Console |
appRedirectUrl | The URL that the user's web browser will be redirected to when the Authorize Application button is clicked. | https://appConsole.apps.gov.bc.ca/authorizedApiKey |
appSendMessage | Flag indicating if the API key should be sent via JavaScript window.postMessage. | true |
contentOnly | Flag indicating if the header and footer should be hidden. | true |
NOTE: If both appSendMessage and appRedirectUrl are specified then the appSendMessage will be used.
Web browsers provide the window.postMessage method to allow a web page to send messages to other web pages.
The GWA Developer Key page uses this method to send the API key int the message.data field when the user clicks the Authorize Application button. The page must be opened in either an iframe or frame.
The application requesting the API key will add an event listener for messages sent to their window. The following code fragment shows how to register the event listener and get the API key.
window.addEventListener('message', function(message) {
$('#apiKeyModal').modal('hide');
var apiKey = message.data;
alert(apiKey);
});
The following code shows an example using a bootstrap dialog to get the API key.

alert(apiKey);

The alternate method is to include the appRedirectUrl with a URL to your application that will be called with the apiKey as a query string parameter when the user clicks the Authorize Application button.
This method does not require the page to be in an iframe or frame.
Netbeans
provides quite a good development environment with Tomcat. VSCode and Intellij both had issues with this project.
