Alright, I understand the wish to bring everything under a realm context. In fact, our
extension indeed is also tied to the realm scope. It was implicit, but now I made it
explicit, so it better fits mapping the REST paths under a realm. To prevent passing
around a realm instance everywhere (besides the KeycloakSession), I use
session.getContext().getRealm(). That will be filled whenever you are working ‘under’ a
…/realms/{realm}/… path. Or is there a risk in this usage?
I did use Pedro’s code to be able to map URL’s like ‘/auth/realms/{realm}/xxxx‘ and
‘/auth/admin/realms/{realm}/xxxx’. That works fine, so it might be an option for you Greg,
so you don’t have to modify the Keycloak sources directly. Or how did you solve that
mapping at the moment?

'admin' will probably move at some point to be under the realm.
'version' would move as well. Although this one should probably be removed
altogether.
KeycloakSession and SPIs needs to be tied to a specific realm. This makes everything
cleaner.
Besides it just doesn't make any sense to add arbitrary rest endpoints to Keycloak. A
rest endpoint should be tied to a realm, otherwise it just doesn't make sense to host
it on the Keycloak server.

Stian, I can see your point. Using the realm name as the root level certainly has
advantages. It also really fixes everything to a realm, but I guess that is what you want.
So how about the current ‘/admin’ url, how does that fit in the new picture? Because that
would be my next best target to hook into. Furthermore, there’s currently a ‘/version’
root path that should end up somewhere else. Personally, I think it’s not so bad to have a
descriptive root level like ‘realms’, which leaves open the possibility to add extra root
level paths, like meta data (version) or special contexts (admin, customPath).

-1 To adding rest endpoints to the root level. I'd like to get rid of 'realms'
part as some point and have all rest endpoints sit underneath a realm. This makes sure the
KeycloakSession always knows what realm is being handled, so we don't need to pass the
realm around as it can be retrived from the KeycloakContext. It also means that the url
can be shortened as we can drop the 'realms' part.

Pedro's change (see below) is kindof what I was looking for, but for my case and for
general flexibility I think it's good to also have a more basic point to hook into the
REST API's.
I implemented and tested my own suggestion of having an SPI to be able to add a REST
resource at the root level. Combined with the (coming) ability to freely extend the JPA
entities and DB schema, I think this creates a really powerful extensibility to Keycloak.
When we finish these changes, I can write a blog post about what we did, why and how as a
showcase for custom extensions to Keycloak.
So are the Keycloak dev's open to a PR with a new SPI that enables you to add custom
REST paths?
For example, you could create something like:
http://localhost:8080/auth/myPath/myResource

It is part of a working in progress around fine-grained authorization [1].
The new SPI changes [2] specific to Keycloak are located in a specific branch [3] in my
Keycloak fork.
I need to discuss these changes with Bill and see what he thinks about it. Depending on
his feedback, I can prepare a PR and send these changes to upstream.

Great, that's probably all we need!
I'd like to try it out, but I cannot find any reference to what you mention on
Github. Is it (going to be) a pull request? Is it going to be part of a future release?
Can you point me to / provide me with these changes so I can give it a spin? Thanks!

I've done something at this regard, where you can use a SPI in order to plug
additional APIs for:
* Realm Admin RESTFul API (eg.: used by admin console)
* Realm RESFTFul API (eg.: to plug additional endpoints for realms)
The two Provider interfaces are very simple and just provide a single method:
Object getResource(String pathName);
Where pathName is the path that must be resolved to your custom JAX-RS resource.
The factories are also very simple and allows you to build those resources for the
current Realm and KeycloakSession. Eg.:
RealmResourceProvider create(RealmModel realm, KeycloakSession keycloakSession);
Do you need something other than that ?
Regards.

Subject: [keycloak-dev] Add custom REST paths? New SPI?
As some of you might know, our team is busy adding data to the keycloak system to
incorporate some custom authorization information in the access token.
So far we've successfully extended the JPA entities, Liquibase table definitions and
added a custom mapper to put that data in the access token. All of this without custom
modifications to the original keycloak sources. This is working great, thanks for the
support so far!
I know I've promised some PR's for this and they will come, but first we'd
like to get everything fully working, so we know it's a well functioning whole.
The last piece of the puzzle is extending the REST services to include CRUD actions for
our custom resources. I've been looking into the way RESTEasy/JAX-RS works and it
seems to me that in the current implementation there is no way to add extra paths. As I
see it now, the KeycloakApplication class will register some singletons in it's
constructor and that's that. No way to extend or to 'interfere' there.
So my question is: is there any 'official' way to add extra REST paths to
Keycloak?
If not, is it an idea to add this as a new SPI? The current code for adding root paths in
the KeycloakApplication constructor lists:
singletons.add(new ServerVersionResource());
singletons.add(new RealmsResource());
singletons.add(new AdminRoot());
So just plain contructor calls. That seems like an easy target for 'SPI-ing'
:-).
Or just leave the current ones 'hardcoded' and add an SPI for custom
extensions.
Your thoughts on this please.
As before, I'm happy to implement this myself, but I'd like to discuss it first,
so a future PR will be honored.
