Introduction Since its inception, Microcks relies on a third party component named Keycloak for managing security related topics like users identification, users authentication and habilitations as well as API endpoints protection. Keycloak is also used for providing service accounts authentication and authorization. This topic is detailed in a dedicated page. Basic installation of Microcks (through Kubernetes Operator, Helm Chart, OpenShift template or Docker-compose) comes with its own Keycloak instance embedding the definitions of Microcks needed components into what is called a realm.

Introduction Microcks is able to run Groovy scripts contained in your API mocks. Your scripts may need external dependencies that are not present in Microcks. In the next section, you will find two approaches depending on whether you are using docker-compose or pure Kubernetes installation to provide such dependencies for your scripts. Docker-compose method The solution is similar for Podman-compose Put your Jar files into a dedicated folder (i. Read More »

Introduction Microcks allows users to export a part of its database as a Snapshot and import such a Snapshot within another instance. Such Snapshots are not complete database exports because they only integrate the Services & APIs definitions parts. As an example, they do not embed all the tests runs and analytics data. Snapshots are lightweight structures that can be used to: easily exchange a set of Services & APIs definition with another instance of Microcks, easily setup a new Microcks instance dedicated for mocking a functionnal subsystem - optionally with different configured response times for simulating a real behaviour, easily backup your instance if you do not bother loosing tests runs and analytics data Snapshots can only be managed by Microcks administrator - we mean people having the administrator role assigned.
