Configuring Protegrity Synthetic Data

Steps to configure Protegrity Synthetic Data.

Update Role Permission and Create User

After deployment, update the default syntheticdata_administrator role to include can_create_token permission, then create a user with this role.

Step 1: Update syntheticdata_administrator role permission

export GATEWAY_URL="https://$(kubectl get configmap/nfa-config -n default -o jsonpath='{.data.FQDN}')"

# 1. Obtain an Authentication Token
TOKEN=$(curl -sk -X POST "${GATEWAY_URL}/api/v1/auth/login/token" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
  -d 'loginname=admin&password=Admin123!' \
  -D - -o /dev/null | grep -i 'pty_access_jwt_token' | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d '\r\n')

curl -sk -X PUT \
  "${GATEWAY_URL}/pty/v1/auth/roles" \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "name": "syntheticdata_administrator",
    "description": "Administrator role",
    "permissions": [
      "can_create_token",
      "syntheticdata_operations_admin"
    ]
  }'

Step 2: Create user with syntheticdata_administrator role attached

Use the following request payload when creating the user:

{
  "username": "syntheticdata_admin",
  "email": "syntheticdata_admin@example.com",
  "firstName": "SyntheticData",
  "lastName": "User",
  "password": "StrongPassword123!",
  "roles": [
    "syntheticdata_administrator"
  ]
}

Example API call:

curl -sk -X POST \
  "${GATEWAY_URL}/pty/v1/auth/users" \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${TOKEN}" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "username": "syntheticdata_admin",
    "email": "syntheticdata_admin@example.com",
    "firstName": "SyntheticData",
    "lastName": "User",
    "password": "StrongPassword123!",
    "roles": [
      "syntheticdata_administrator"
    ]
  }'
