Issue/Introduction

While attempting to go through the 3.2 ARD Hub manual upgrade procedures, I am getting an Internal Server (500) error when attempting to launch any of the Web UIs, including Keycloak. The service starts without issue, as does the microservices in Tomcat, I only noticed a problem when attempting to launch the UIs.

I followed the steps as documented in the ARD 3.2 documentation - https://techdocs.broadcom.com/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/devops/agile-requirements-designer/3-2/installing/install-ard-hub/install-ard-hub-manually.html

However, it is possible I missed a step. The error I am seeing in the server.log, after trying to reach the Keycloak Web UI is as follows:

2021-09-01 13:29:08,734 ERROR [org.keycloak.services.error.KeycloakErrorHandler] (default task-1) Uncaught server error: javax.ws.rs.core.UriBuilderException: RESTEASY003330: Failed to create URI: {{server}}.bpc.broadcom.net:

Environment

Windows and Linux (Non Docker Images)

Cause

Prior to ARD 3.2, ARD Hub used Keycloak v 5.0.0. However, with ARD 3.2, you must install Keycloak v 13.0.1, which requires that you properly configure the frontendURL in the standalone.xml file. This error is seen when the frontendURL is not properly configured or contains a typo.

Resolution

Stop the Apache Tomcat service
Stop the Wildfly (Keycloak) service
Open the KEYCLOAK_HOME\standalone\configuration\standalone.xml file in the text editor of your choice
.
Search for frontendURL (Should be around line 341)
Verify that the frontendURL has been defined properly. The line should look similar to the following:
<property name="frontendUrl" value="${keycloak.frontendUrl:http://<TomcatHostname.mydomain.com>:<Tomcat_Port>/ard/api/iam/auth}"/>

Where: <TomcatHostname.mydomain.com> is replaced with the fully qualified hostname of the machine hosting the Tomcat Web Server
<Tomcat_Port> is replaced with the actual listener port number for Tomcat

For example: <property name="frontendUrl" value="${keycloak.frontendUrl:http://lvntest001.broadcom.com:8080/ard/api/iam/auth}"/>

Note: if you are using a client-side proxy, then use your Proxy_Server_Name as the hostname, and your Poxy_Port as the port number
<property name="frontendUrl" value="${keycloak.frontendUrl:http://<ProxyHostname.mydomain.com>:<Proxy_Port>/ard/api/iam/auth}"/>
After corrections have been made, save your changes to the file.
Restore the Keycloak database from your backup file (as a precaution that something may have gone wrong with the database migration)
Restart the Wildfly (Keycloak) service
Restart the Apache Tomcat service
Launch the ARD Web UI.
