Pact Foundation

Hi all. New to pact-broker; working on setting it up for my team in AWS (Fargate). Does the <https://hub.docker.com/r/pactfoundation/pact-broker/|pact-broker> have a web UI for end users and if so, does it require a login? I have not been able to really find definitive documentation on this. Thanks!

And if there's a UI and requires a login, does it support SAML?

Hey,

Yes to a UI,

See <https://docs.pact.io/pact_broker#screenshots>

You can use auth, or choose not too, see the section titled `Using basic auth` in the link you provided above :+1:

It should be this README for the `pactfoundation/pact-broker` image :point_down:

<https://docs.pact.io/pact_broker/docker_images/pactfoundation#authentication>

The readme linked is for the ``dius/pact-broker` but the mechanism is the same

Okay, thank you. Does the web UI support SAML auth?

I would advise spinning up a copy of the image locally and having a look around at the UI first, and basic auth, before trying to run in AWS :slightly_smiling_face:

If I ran it in AWS I would have to connect my VPC to my corp network and only expose the pact-broker internally

We have a hosted Pact Broker (Pactflow) which has the option to support SAML which may help in organisational adoption. There are options with the open-source broker, but involve rolling your own auth mechanism dependant on your organisations security setup

<https://docs.pactflow.io/docs/user-interface/settings/authentication/#saml-support>

May be worth having a peek whilst you are exploring options :+1:

Yes - we did see that - we were investigating the OSS version, but we saw that Pactflow does offer it :slightly_smiling_face:
