[keycloak-user] CatalinaUserSessionManagement: Session not present or already invalidated

Tue Apr 7 19:29:03 EDT 2015

Marek, yes, I should have mentioned I was using Spring Security, sorry
about that. We will have some code I can share shortly on how to integrate
Spring Security with the adapter.

That being said, we solved the issue at hand by modifying the Spring
Security configuration. If anyone else is having problems with single
sign-out, the key part to change in the Spring Security configuration is to
disable Spring’s session fixation protection.

This is something that’s on by default in many Spring Security installs and
according to the Spring docs it’s intended to:

"Create a new session for the newly authenticated user if they already have
a session (as a defence against session-fixation protection attacks), and
copies their session attributes across to the new session."

So in Spring Security config, "sessionFixation().none()” must be set:

protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.sessionFixation().none();
}

Here’s the flow if you don’t disable this:
1. User access Resource Server (Spring Secured)
2. User redirected by Keycloak agent to Keycloak auth server
3. Successful login redirects back to Resource Server
4. Agent creates a session
5. Spring authentication invoked (how depends on integration method but
irrelevant here)
6. Spring - to prevent session fixation - creates a new session, copying
all attributes from Keycloak created session

Because of this, the authentication continues to function. However, on
single sign-out, the Keycloak agent tries to invalidate the wrong session
(Spring deleted it).

Hope that helps. Will be happy to share a full set of findings and a
working Spring configuration once we get things all worked out.

Best,
Scott
