AuthZ-Envoy-Sidecar Control Scripts

This document provides instructions on how to use the start.sh and stop.sh scripts to manage the AuthZ-Envoy-Sidecar process lifecycle in a Unix-like environment.

Overview

The start.sh script is used to start the AuthZ-Envoy-Sidecar process. The process starts only if it is not already running and if the required configuration file is present. The stop.sh script is used to stop the running AuthZ-Envoy-Sidecar process.

Configuration

Before running the scripts, ensure that you have a config.yaml file in the same directory as the start.sh and stop.sh scripts. This file is required for the AuthZ-Envoy-Sidecar to start properly.

Starting the AuthZ-Envoy-Sidecar

To start the AuthZ-Envoy-Sidecar process, execute the following start.sh script:

./start.sh

Upon execution, the script checks for the presence of the config.yaml file. It then verifies if the AuthZ-Envoy-Sidecar process is already running. Only then does the script start the AuthZ-Envoy-Sidecar process in the background with specified flags and parameters

Stopping the AuthZ-Envoy-Sidecar

To stop the running AuthZ-Envoy-Sidecar process, execute the followingstop.sh script:

./stop.sh

The script will send a signal to terminate the AuthZ-Envoy-Sidecar process. If the process is not running, the user is notified.
### Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues while running the scripts, ensure that:

• You have executed permissions for both scripts. You can execute permissions using chmod +x start.sh stop.sh.
• The config.yaml file is correctly configured and located in the expected directory.
• The AuthZ-Envoy-Sidecar binary is compatible with your system's architecture and operating system version.
