Creating App ID in IBM Cloud

1. Create IBM Cloud App ID instance

Create one with a name of appid-example-bank using the IBM Cloud dashboard https://cloud.ibm.com/catalog/services/appid

NOTE: Make sure you are using your personal account.

2. Configure App ID

  • Allow Sign-up and Sign-in using username and password by going to the tab Cloud Directory > Settings

  • Disable Email Verification by going to the tab Cloud Directory > Email Templates > Email verification

  • Add an application called mobile-simulator in the Applications tab. Select "Regular web application". Make sure you also add an admin scope.

  • Create the admin role. The scope would be mobile-simulator/admin.

  • Create Service credentials with the Writer Role so that the simulator can create simulated users with the App ID instance. Name it appid-example-bank-credentials

3. Create secrets

  • Create secrets of App ID credentials for OpenShift cluster

You can use this script to create the secrets in your OpenShift cluster. This grabs your App ID instance named appid-example-bank and service credentials named appid-example-bank-credentials

$ ./scripts/mapAppIDtoSecrets.sh

secret/bank-oidc-secret created
secret/bank-appid-secret created
secret/bank-iam-secret created
secret/mobile-simulator-secrets created
