    Description

      Currently, KnoxSSO is constrained to an SP Initiated Flow - meaning, the user must attempt to access a participating application before s/he is redirected to an IdP for authentication.

      This restriction has been problematic for some deployments that have multiple tenants or realms since the participating application has only a single URL to redirect to when authentication is required.

      This JIRA is an umbrella for a few tasks in order to enable the following:

      1. A landing page that displays a portal of available Topologies and then services/UIs within each. Need to determine which topologies to inclulde - maybe only those protected by KnoxSSO - which will require some Admin API calls. This will be similar to the Okta portal page with tiles for UIs and Services.
      2. KnoxSSO protection of the landing page to insure that the user is logged in
      3. A login form that includes username, password and realm - or perhaps a top level page that requires realm only. This can become the URL that participating application redirect the user to when a new authentication is required.
      4. Clicking into a Service rather than a UI should result in a REST Client Page where the KnoxSSO token will be presented and results returned in a scrollable textarea or meaningful rendering of JSON in a tree or table.
