Keyrock doesn't recognize super-admin user

Question

I'm making a project for a course in uni. I'm running a keyrock container in docker and I use a .http file to make direct request for X-Auth-Token with the default super-admin user. The request:

###get X-Auth-Token directly in keyrock
GET http://localhost:3005/v1/auth/tokens
Content-Type: application/json

{"email":"[email protected]","password":"1234"}

From what I understand in the documentation this super-user is initialized by the keyrock service by default and the request is the same as keyrock documentation, except if I made some error. This is what it returns:

HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized
Cache-Control: no-cache, private, no-store, must-revalidate, max-stale=0, post-check=0, pre-check=0
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 83
ETag: W/"53-HM/hhsSfxoQsxV7mUMAoJqvJdJ0"

Connection: close

{
  "error": {
    "message": "Invalid email or password",
    "code": 401,
    "title": "Unauthorized"
  }
}

I will also show the docker-compose file for clarity:

Don't all these environment variables in keyrock mean that is the default admin user's credentials?

Thank you for your time.

Answer 1

Ok, so apparently the admin user is not added by default you have to create it. In the step-by-step guide: https://github.com/FIWARE/tutorials.Identity-Management/tree/NGSI-v2 in the mysql-data there is a .sql backup file that should be added in the initialization process.

Inside this file in line 710 or so you can add as many users as you want and there you can add your default super admin user with any credentials you want. I know it worked, because in the container CLI I can now see the idm database, the tables and the user I created in the 'user' table.

Unfortunately, my request still doesn't work, I'm not sure why, but this should work for most people I assume.
