Node based Swagger Application to Manage and Utilize TMOS Device Trusts

Trusted Device Services - Swagger Edition

See me published into NGINX Unit runnng in a docker container! - f5-icontrol-gateway

Overview

This is a nodejs based application which expects to be co-resident with restjavad such that it can create device trusts and proxy trusted requests.

The application provides three URI namespaces:

• /TrustedDevicesUI - the SwaggerUI explorer web UI.
• /TrustedDevices - used to manage the device trusts between the local restjavad instance and remote TMOS devices.
• /TrustedProxy - used to either retrieve query parameter based trust tokens or to proxy signed iControl REST requests to remote TMOS devices.

This application was written 'schema first'. The OpenAPI schema for this application can be found in the ./api/swagger.yaml file and is served up as /api-docs/swagger.json through the swagger-ui interface. The application service uses OAS-tools, swagger-middleware to validate requests against the schema. The swagger-ui was updated to support testing the application through the swagger-ui XHR browser client. To support static publishing, the swagger-ui-dist module was used.

How is this different than the f5-api-services-gateway iControl LX based extension for TrustedDevices and TrustedProxy? It contains zero iControl LX code. It uses direct nodejs http and https module queries. It also does not mangle your HTTP requests headers 'automagically' the way the iControl LX framework does.
