Hi Sebi,

I did the same thing and defined a new client/resource called "
nodejs-connect" and set the access type "bearer-only" .


but when I am running my node server, it is throwing an error
"SyntaxError: *Unexpected token u*
    at Object.parse (native)
    at Config.loadConfiguration (D:\Sample Projects\NodePrototypes\
NodeSample\no
de_modules\keycloak-connect\node_modules\keycloak-auth-
utils\lib\config.js:53:23
)
    at new Config (D:\Sample Projects\NodePrototypes\
NodeSample\node_modules\key
cloak-connect\node_modules\keycloak-auth-utils\lib\config.js:40:10)
    at new Keycloak (D:\Sample Projects\NodePrototypes\
NodeSample\node_modules\k
eycloak-connect\index.js:61:17)"

 Can you look into this below keycloak.json file. If I have specified
whether it is correct?

*Keycloak.json*

{
  "realm": "nodejs-example",
  "realm-public-key":
"MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQCtvV0qb8+A0pxKoRpToHhc6srY4PyoX/pwgmR7HyV0PeUw/DgyyCI1Wmvw3T15kWw7Q84gX8IL0wDNtfmbhMPmz5umVeul3LzacjU9qfDqG96Wirn7+5Je1VieH5wRX3mtyQ2TboRVpjFD0fwd063FYOtCynfDSS0Uo6YgjWs8QwIDAQAB",
 * "bearer-only": true,*
  "auth-server-url": "http://localhost:9090/auth",
  "ssl-required": "none",
  "resource": nodejs-connect",
   "enable-cors" : true,
   "credentials": {
    "secret": "6b620304-b4a9-4007-8701-d3abb3537598"
  }
 }


Thanks,
Deepak
