[keycloak-user] Keycloak does not return Principal for Spring Boot with Spring Security project

[CLAYTON BODINE]

Hello all:

I have followed the steps from http://blog.keycloak.org/2017/05/easily-secure-your-spring-boot.html and found that Keycloak will secure the example but does not seem to be able to return a Principal. I am not sure what I have done wrong, especially since I have not modified the example. I noticed that I am using Spring Boot 1.5.16.RELEASE which is several versions ahead of the example (but a few versions behind what is available from https://start.spring.io/. I think Keycloak is great but if I cannot somehow learn who the logged in user is from the Principal (or some other means) then I might not be able to use it for the projects that I have in mind.

Thanks!

Clayton
