[keycloak-user] KeycloakSecurityContext returns NULL using Tomcat Adapter

Hi Stian, thanks for your replay.

The problem is that /movies is a page that doesn't require the user to be logged in.
But when he is logged in and goes to /movies, I need retrieve user information.
If I add a security-constraint for movies the user will be redirected to the login page, and this can't happen.

Is there another way I can do this?

This is down to the fact that there are differences between different containers. In reality you can only guarantee that KeycloakSecurityContext as long as the request requires authentication. Add a security-constraint for movies and you're fine.

Stian,

I have an application deployed on Tomcat 7 using the Tomcat Adapter.
When i'm logged in and I go to a non-secured URL, KeycloakSecurityContext returns null.
I deployed the same application to the Keycloak Standalone Server, there I don't have this problem.

At Tomcat the code below returns null when called from /movies/, and works when called from /article/
At Keycloak Standalone Server /movies/ and /article/ works fine.
(KeycloakSecurityContext) request.getAttribute(KeycloakSecurityContext.class.getName());

Why is this happening?

In my web.xml I have only one security-constraint securing /article/*

WEB.XML:
<security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
        <web-resource-name>Articles</web-resource-name>
        <url-pattern>/article/*</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    <auth-constraint>
        <role-name>user</role-name>
    </auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
