Compliant Platform with Authenticated Docs

Scenario

Use this workflow when deploying an MLPS 2.0-compliant enterprise platform that requires centralized identity management and secure, role-based access to premium documentation. It combines Terraform-provisioned infrastructure (ECS, RDS, OSS, Elasticsearch, IDaaS, PAI) with GitBook embedded directly into your portal, where IDaaS SSO dynamically gates private content without redirecting users.

Integration steps

1. Provision Compliant Infrastructure: Run terraform apply using the MLPS 2.0 baseline module. Ensure alicloud_ecs_instance, alicloud_db_instance, and alicloud_elasticsearch_instance are tagged with compliance: mlps2.0.
2. Register IDaaS Application: In the IDaaS console, create an OIDC app. Set redirect_uri to https://<your-portal-domain>/auth/callback and enable Security > MFA > TOTP.
3. Configure GitBook Embed: In GitBook, navigate to Settings > Integrations > Embed and enable Require Authentication. Copy the embed_id.
4. Initialize IDaaS SDK: In your ECS-hosted frontend, add:

``javascript import { IDaaS } from '@alicloud/idaas-sdk'; const client = new IDaaS({ client_id: 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID', scope: 'openid profile email', redirect_uri: 'https://<your-portal-domain>/auth/callback' }); client.auth.authorize(); ``

5. Handle OIDC Callback & Token Exchange: On /auth/callback, exchange the authorization code:

``javascript const { access_token, id_token } = await client.auth.exchangeCode(code); localStorage.setItem('idaas_token', access_token); ``

6. Mount Authenticated GitBook Embed: Inject the token into the GitBook iframe:

``html <iframe src="https://<your-space>.gitbook.io/embed/<embed_id>?auth_token=${access_token}" allow="clipboard-write"></iframe> ``

7. Map IDaaS Roles to GitBook Access: Configure IDaaS User Attributes to pass role: premium in the JWT. In GitBook, set Access Control > SSO Mapping to grant premium role access to restricted collections.

Architecture

Terraform orchestrates the foundational layer: ECS hosts the web portal, RDS stores user metadata, OSS serves static assets, and Elasticsearch/OpenSearch powers semantic search. IDaaS acts as the centralized identity provider, issuing OIDC-compliant JWTs. Upon login, the portal forwards the JWT to the GitBook embed. GitBook validates the signature against IDaaS’s JWKS endpoint, extracts role claims, and dynamically renders private/premium documentation sections. PAI runs in the background for ML model training, while RDS/OSS handle structured/unstructured data storage.

Prerequisites

• Alibaba Cloud account with MLPS 2.0 compliance baseline enabled
• Terraform CLI v1.5+ and configured provider credentials
• Active GitBook workspace with Embed and SSO features enabled
• IDaaS tenant with OIDC application created
• Valid SSL certificate for redirect_uri domain

Common pitfalls

• Redirect URI Mismatch: IDaaS rejects callbacks if redirect_uri lacks exact trailing slashes or uses http instead of https.
• Token Expiration in Iframe: GitBook embeds don’t auto-refresh expired JWTs. Implement a postMessage listener to silently renew tokens via client.auth.refreshToken().
• CORS Blocking: The ECS portal must whitelist *.gitbook.io in Access-Control-Allow-Origin to allow token injection.
• Role Claim Mismatch: If IDaaS doesn’t explicitly map roles to the JWT scope, GitBook defaults to public access. Verify id_token payload contains roles: ["premium"].

Q: How do I deploy a compliant enterprise platform with Terraform and embed authenticated GitBook documentation? A: You can achieve this by using Terraform to provision an MLPS 2.0 compliant infrastructure comprising ECS, RDS, OSS, Elasticsearch, IDaaS, and PAI, then embedding GitBook documentation into the resulting portal. IDaaS SSO is configured to authenticate users and control access to premium or private content sections.
