how to kickstart an application with specified uuid?

laurent.michel

Hi,

In my kickstart.json, I have the following section:

{
      "body": {
        "application": {
          "jwtConfiguration": {
            "accessTokenKeyId": "#{accessTokenSigningKeyId}",
            "enabled": true,
            "refreshTokenTimeToLiveInMinutes": 1440,
            "timeToLiveInSeconds": 3600
          },
          "lambdaConfiguration": {
            "accessTokenPopulateId": "#{hasuraLambdaId}"
          },
          "loginConfiguration": {
            "allowTokenRefresh": true,
            "generateRefreshTokens": true,
            "requireAuthentication": true
          },
          "name": "test-application",
          "roles": [
            {
              "isDefault": true,
              "isSuperRole": false,
              "name": "user"
            },
            {
              "isDefault": false,
              "isSuperRole": false,
              "name": "manager"
            }
          ]
        }
      },
      "method": "POST",
      "url": "/api/application"
    }

In that kickstart, I would like to directly register a user in that application test-application. I figured I could set myself the application's id (with e.g. #{UUID()}) and use that id in the user registration:

{
      "body": {
        "registration": {
          "applicationId": "#{THE_TEST_APPLICATION_ID}",
          "roles": [
            "manager"
          ]
        },
        "user": {
          "email": "#{managerEmail}",
          "password": "#{managerPassword}"
        }
      },
      "method": "POST",
      "url": "/api/user/registration"
    },

However, I was not able to gather from the documentation how to achieve that. The applicationId is a request parameter and there seems to be no way to set it through a parameter in the /api/application body.

Is there a to do what I want or do I have to register the user after fusionauth kickstart?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Hiya.

You want to set a variable for the applicationId in the variables section.. Then you can reference it in both the application creation call and the registration call.

https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-example-kickstart/blob/master/example-apps/joomla-sso.json has an example:

 "variables": {
    "joomlaAppId": "#{UUID()}",
  },

You could also hardcode the same UUID instead of using UUID().

Does that help?

Hey Dan,

Thanks for your very useful advice. This line is critical in the configuration you mention:

"url": "/api/application/#{joomlaAppId}",

I didn't know I could put the request parameter right there. My problem is then solved.

No worries @laurent-michel !

FYI, this isn't just for applications.

For every resource in FusionAuth during creation you can either provide a valid UUID to control the value, or leave the UUID off and let FusionAuth create one for you.
