Hello Flazk

This example shows the simplicity in integrating zero trust into a web server or API using Flask. This example also shows how to use the decorator to apply the monkeypatch.

This is a perfect example of application to application embedded zero trust. When used in conjunction with the Ziti urllib3 example, both ends of the network are fully app-embedded zero trust applications and therefore offer complete encryption from app to app, no unencrypted data ever leaves the application environment.

Setup 🔧

Refer to the examples README for details on setting up your network, service, and obtaining an identity file.

Install Python Requirements

If you haven't already installed them, you'll need the dependent libraries used in the examples.

pip install -r ../requirements

Running the Example ▶️

This example accepts two input arguments.

1. The identity file to be used by the SDK tunneler
2. The service to bind to

python helloFlazk.py </path/to/id.json> <name-of-service>

Testing the Example 📋

By default, the base url is mapped to our hello_world() function. So, if we hit that endpoint we will see the response from the function which is simply Have some ziti. This could be tested with

1. The Ziti urllib3 example

2. The Ziti Requests example

3. A curl command

   curl <name-of-service>:<intercept-port>
   

4. Or simply visiting the intercept address in a browser.
