There are currently 2 User interfaces for Egeria.
...
- React UI work
- Some work has occurred to replace the existing expired Egeria certificated with up to date valid certificates, as part of this, the certificates are validated.
- The Egeria React UI 3.7 introduced new environment variables to allow the user to provide their own pfx ca and passphrase.
- Further work is being done to allow the pfx ca and passphrase to be specified per platform.
- The concern was raised that this sort of routing should not be the responsibility of the the deployer of the UI. It would be more appropriate to use something like Ingenx or Istio to handle:
- routing
- authentication
- certificates
- there seems to be a need for both these approaches:
- a manual approach allowing pocs, education and demos without requiring an overarching framework and a lot of enterprise orientated setup. This would run our node application.
- an enterprise approach that would :
- have a single authentication approach
- remove routing from the React UI
- remove the need for a node application.

Steps agreed in the TSC meeting on the 25th of January 2022.
- Frontend
- package level first integration at the static file level only.
- consistent css (allow custom styling of the UI)
- Minimal Considerations on reusing React UI components
- Accessing view service configuration (or equivalent) in General UI components (without this the react components will not be able to used asis)
