Run the beta

• 1. install LoopBack framework npm install -g strongloop
• 2. run npm install
• 3. node .

Work in progress note

In order to run this beta version of gLibrary you need to add/modify some portion of some libraries.

Step1 : enable plural and http.path for dynamic modules

After you did a npm install in order to install all the necessary dependencies, you have to

• a) edit node_modules/loopback-datasource-juggler/lib/datasource.js

• b) go to the DataSource.prototype.discoverAndBuildModels = function (modelName, options, cb) {..}

• c) after

            if (options.plural) {
               schema.options = schema.options || {};
               schema.options.plural = options.plural;
               schema.options.public = true;
             }

 add the following

                   if (options.http) {
                     schema.options = schema.options || {};
                     schema.options.http = options.http;
                   }
                   if (options.base) {
                     schema.options = schema.options || {};
                     schema.options.base = options.base;
                   }

Step2: FIX [Error Unable to identify endpoint url error]

• a) edit node_modules/pkgcloud/lib/pkgcloud/openstack/context/service.js

• b) go to Service.prototype.getEndpointUrl = function (options) {..}

• c) modify with the code below

      /**
       *  FIX [Error Unable to identify endpoint url error]  issue
       *  IF the endpoint.region field is not undefined AND url field is undefined at the same time,
       *  we will not receive a valid value inside the url field.
       *
        */
      else
      {
        url = getUrl(endpoint);
      }
      // return the first region-less endpoint
      if (!endpoint.region) {
        console.log("!endpoint.region");
        url = getUrl(endpoint);
        console.log("[URL]",url);
      }
    });
    }
  

Step3 : Enable SSL certiticate authentication openstack

• a) edit node_modules/pkgcloud/lib/pkgcloud/openstack/context/identity.js

• b) go to Identity.prototype._buildAuthenticationPayload = function () {..}

• c) substitute the original code with the one above

    Identity.prototype._buildAuthenticationPayload = function () {
      var self = this;
      var fs = require('fs');
      /* Todo : move ca_cert in self.options */
  
    var ca_cert_path = '/Users/hellbreak/Dev/INFN/gLibrary_base/server/private/INFNCA.pem';
    var cert = fs.readFileSync(ca_cert_path).toString();
    self.options.ca = cert;
    console.log("[IDENTITY][_buildAuthenticationPayload]",self.options);
    self.emit('log::trace', 'Building Openstack Identity Auth Payload');
  
    // setup our inputs for authorization
    if (self.options.password && self.options.username) {
      self._authenticationPayload = {
        auth: {
          passwordCredentials: {
            username: self.options.username,
            password: self.options.password
          }
        }
      };
    }
    // Token and tenant are also valid inputs
    else if (self.options.token && (self.options.tenantId || self.options.tenantName)) {
      self._authenticationPayload = {
        auth: {
          token: {
            id: self.options.token
          }
        }
      };
    }
    };
