Using Cloud Foundry CUPS to inject Spring Security credentials into a Spring Boot Application

The following demo shows how to inject the Spring Security username/password credentials from a User Provided service on PCF, hence using the VCAP_SERVICES env variable to inject the values required to protect the application using HTTP Basic Authentication while running in PCF. Spring Boot automatically converts this data into a flat set of properties so you can easily get to the data as shown below.

The demo application can be found as follows

https://github.com/papicella/springsecurity-cf-cups

The application.yml would access the VCAP_SERVICES CF env variable using the the Spring Boot flat set of properties as shown below.

eg:

VCAP_SERVICES

System-Provided:
{
 "VCAP_SERVICES": {
  "user-provided": [
   {
    "credentials": {
     "password": "myadminpassword",
     "username": "myadminuser"
    },
    "label": "user-provided",
    "name": "my-cfcups-service",
    "syslog_drain_url": "",
    "tags": [],
    "volume_mounts": []
   }
  ]
 }
}
...

application.yml

spring:
  application:
    name: security-cf-cups-demo
security:
  user:
    name: ${vcap.services.my-cfcups-service.credentials.username:admin}
    password: ${vcap.services.my-cfcups-service.credentials.password:password}

Oracle 12c Service Broker for Pivotal Cloud Foundry

The following example is a PCF 2.0 Service Broker written as a Spring Boot application. This is just an example and should be evolved to match a production type setup in terms oracle requirements. This service broker simple creates USERS and assigns then 20M of quota against a known TABLESPACE

It's all documented as follows

Couchbase Service Broker for Pivotal Cloud Foundry

The following example is a PCF 2.0 Service Broker written as a Spring Boot application for Couchbase 4.6.x. This is just an example and should be evolved to match a production type setup in terms of bucket creation and access for created service instances.

It's all documented as follows
