Management APIs

To help protect management endpoints without assuming a specific mechanism to implement that protection the EDDIE Framework differentiates between a public port (8080) and management port (9090).

APIs and applications under the management port include:

• Admin Console
• REST Outbound Connector
• Data Needs Management
• Region Connector Management (like adding CDS servers)

Ports and paths can be configured using environment variables as described here.

To provide an example for protecting the management port, a proxy could map one path to the public port and the other to the management port where the management port might require the visitor to enter a username and password .

This setup can be enabled in the compose setup via the auth profile.

# inside the env directory
docker compose up -d --profile auth

The profile adds a Caddy instance that directs all traffic to /eddie to the EDDIE instance and requires basic authentication with a username and password (eddie/password) to access management APIs like the admin console.

• http://localhost:9000/eddie/demo is public
• http://localhost:9000/eddie/management/outbound-connectors/admin-console is protected
