Tip

Before you begin, if you have changed the API Manager's default user and role, make sure you do the following changes:

  • Give the correct credentials in the <BPS_HOME>/repository/conf/epr files.
  • Change the credentials of the workflow configurations in the registry resource _system/governance/apimgt/applicationdata/workflow-extensions.xml.
  • Point the database that has the API Manager user permissions to BPS.
  • Share any LDAPs, if exist.
  • Change the user credentials in <APIM_HOME>/repository/conf/api_manager .xml file.Change the .ht file of the relevant human task.
  • Change the allowedRoles parameter in the <APIM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/admin-dashboard/site/conf/site.json file.

...

  1. Download WSO2 Business Process Server.  

  2. Set an offset of 2 to the default BPS port in <BPS_HOME>/repository/conf/carbon.xml file. This prevents port conflicts that occur when you start more than one WSO2 product on the same server. Also see Changing the Default Ports with Offset.

    Code Block
    languagexml
    <Offset>2</Offset>
    Tip

    Tip: If you change the BPS port offset to a value other than 2 or run the API Manager and BPS on different machines (therefore, want to set thehostname to a different value than localhost), you do the following:

    • Search and replace the value 9765 in all the files (.epr) inside <APIM_HOME>/business-processes folder with the  new port (9763 + port offset.)
    • Search and replace port 9445 in <AM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/admin-dashboard/site/conf/site.json file with the new port (9443 + port offset.)

  3. Copy the following from <APIM_HOME>/business-processes/epr to <BPS_HOME>/repository/conf/epr folder. If the  <BPS_HOME>/repository/conf/epr  folder isn't there, please create it.

    • UserSignupService.epr
    • UserSignupProcess.epr

  4. Start the BPS server and log in to its management console (https://<Server Host>:9443+<port offset>/carbon).  

  5. Select Add under Processes menu and upload the <APIM_HOME>/business-processes/user-signup/BPEL/UserSignupApprovalProcess_1.0.0.zip file to BPS. This is the business process archive file.
  6. Select  Add  under the  Human Tasks  menu and upload  <APIM_HOME>/business-processes/user-signup/HumanTask/UserApprovalTask-1.0.0.zip to BPS. This is the human task archived file.

...

First, enable the user signup workflow.

  1. Log in to APIM management console (https://<Server Host>:9443/carbon) and select Browse under Resources.

  2. Go to /_system/governance/apimgt/applicationdata/workflow-extensions.xml resource, d isable the Simple Workflow Executor and enable WS Workflow Executor. Also specify the service endpoint where the workflow engine is hosted and the credentials required to access the said service via basic authentication (i.e., username/password based authentication).

    Code Block
    languagehtml/xml
    <WorkFlowExtensions>
 
...
    <UserSignUp executor="org.wso2.carbon.apimgt.impl.workflow.UserSignUpWSWorkflowExecutor">
         <Property name="serviceEndpoint">http://localhost:9765/services/UserSignupProcess/</Property>
         <Property name="username">admin</Property>
         <Property name="password">admin</Property>
         <Property name="callbackURL">https://localhost:8243/services/WorkflowCallbackService</Property>
    </UserSignUp>
...

</WorkFlowExtensions>
    Tip

    Note  that all workflow process services of the BPS run on port 9765 because you changed its default port (9763) with an offset of 2.

  3. Go to the API Store Web interface and sign up.
    It invokes the signup process and creates a Human Task instance that holds the execution of the BPEL until some action is performed on it.

  4. Note the message that appears if the BPEL is invoked correctly, saying that the request is successfully submitted. 

  5. Log in to the Admin Dashboard Web application ( https://<Server Host>:9443/admin-dashboard ) and approve the user signup task. It resumes the BPEL process and completes the signup process.

  6. Go back to the API Store and see that the user is now registered.

    Whenever a user tries to sign up to the API Store, a request of the following format is sent to the workflow endpoint:

    Code Block
    languagehtml/xml
    <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:wor="http://workflow.subscription.apimgt.carbon.wso2.org">
   <soapenv:Header />
   <soapenv:Body>
      <wor:registerUser xmlns:wor="http://workflow.registeruser.apimgt.carbon.wso2.org">
         <wor:userName>sampleuser</wor:userName>
         <wor:tenantDomain>foo.com</wor:tenantDomain>
         <wor:workflowExternalRef>c0aad878-278c-4439-8d7e-712ee71d3f1c</wor:workflowExternalRef>
         <wor:callbackURL>https://localhost:8243/services/WorkflowCallbackService</wor:callBackURL>
      </wor:registerUser>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

    Elements of the above configuration are described below:

    ElementDescription
    userName
    		The user name requested by the user
    tenantDomainDomain to which the user belongs to
    workflowExternalRefThe unique reference against which a workflow is tracked. This needs to be sent from the workflow engine to the API Manager at the time of workflow completion.
    callBackURL

    The URL to which the workflow completion request is sent by the workflow engine, at the time of workflow completion. This property is configured under the "callBackURL" property in the api-manager.xml file.
