Integrate with Gravitee

Support level: Community

What is Gravitee​

Gravitee.io API Management is a flexible, lightweight and blazing-fast Open Source solution that helps your organization control who, when and how users access your APIs.

It offers an easy to use GUI to setup proxies for APIs, rate limiting, api keys, caching, OAUTH rules, a portal that can be opened to the public for people to subscribe to APIs, and much more.

Preparation​

The following placeholders are used in this guide:

  • gravitee.company is the FQDN of the Gravitee installation.

This documentation lists only the settings that you need to change from their default values. Be aware that any changes other than those explicitly mentioned in this guide could cause issues accessing your application.

authentik configuration​

To support the integration of Gravitee with authentik, you need to create an application/provider pair in authentik.

Create an application and provider in authentik​

  1. Log in to authentik as an admin, and open the authentik Admin interface.
  2. Navigate to Applications > Applications and click Create with Provider to create an application and provider pair. (Alternatively you can first create a provider separately, then create the application and connect it with the provider.)
  • Application: provide a descriptive name, an optional group for the type of application, the policy engine mode, and optional UI settings.
  • Choose a Provider type: select OAuth2/OpenID Connect as the provider type.
  • Configure the Provider: provide a name (or accept the auto-provided name), the authorization flow to use for this provider, and the following required configurations.
    • Note the Client ID,Client Secret, and slug values because they will be required later.
    • Add two Strict redirect URI and set them to https://gravitee.company/user/login and https://gravitee.company/console/. Ensure a trailing slash is present at the end of the second redirect URI.
    • Select any available signing key.
  • Configure Bindings (optional): you can create a binding (policy, group, or user) to manage the listing and access to applications on a user's My applications page.
  1. Click Submit to save the new application and provider.
