Question on microservices and keycloak
by Steven Pousty
Hey all:
I was thinking about using Keycloak to provide authentication in an
application I am building. I am building this app to evaluate how
microservices REALLY work rather than all the hype.
I am building a single page app & mobile UI, talking to different REST
services, each of which is a separate application.
Here is a rough picture of all the services.
https://github.com/thesteve0/flatfluffy/blob/master/Services.png
Reading the doc I see how I can use Keycloak to authenticate if all my
REST endpoints are in the same App Server. Unfortunately, I do not want
to make that assumption for my architecture. Can I still use Keycloak?
Thanks

Securing subpaths with specific roles
by Edem Morny
Hi,
I'm currently using beta2 of keycloak, and we are building a new
application with keycloak as our security platform.
In our web module, all pages are located under the path
src/main/webapps/views. Navigation to the index.xhtml file under this path
triggers keycloack login, as expected. We've enabled self-registration and
assigned the default realm role to be "user", so a new user automatically
obtains the "user" role. Here is a snippet of our web.xml file.
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Users</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/views/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>user</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Supervisor</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/views/supervisor/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>supervisor</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
...
In effect any person with "user" role can view any content directly under
/views/*. However, the newly enrolled user is able to navigate to other
subpaths under the /views like the /views/supervisor/* which should
normally require the user to have the additional "supervisor" role in
addition to being "user".
So I have 2 questions.
1. Am I doing something wrong with regards to this setup? Does each
registered application also need to have roles specified, or should the
realm roles be enough. Or is my understanding wrong?
2. Is there an a means to obtain the roles that a user has after logging
in? The IDToken doesn't seem to contain any such information so I can use
that with some other security implementation like DeltaSpike's security
support in case the above is not supported.
Looking forward to your response. Cheers.

Logging
by Chris Stier
Hi all,
Just a quick question... I have a spring app that I'm deploying into the
KeyCloak appliance 1.0 beta 3 and for some reason none of my logging
statements are making it out to the console or to my file. The file gets
created but nothing gets appended to it. I'm using logback and it was
working previously on beta 2. I'm kind of perplexed here :) Is anyone
else seeing this?
Thanks for your time,
Chris
PS- I apologize if this email is redundant. I had previously sent this
email but I guess I wasn't a member of group. So sorry about.

Is it possible to use a non Keycloak client to call a Keycloak secured Rest services?
by Christina Lau
Hi Bill, further to last comment, i.e. although I can get the token, when I use it to call the same Rest service, I am getting 403 instead.
I don’t know if this helps or not, but I have also noticed that the console produced different output:

Re: [keycloak-user] Is it possible to use a non Keycloak client to call a Keycloak secured Rest services?
by Christina Lau
Thanks Bill, it works. However I noticed that it is using the admin-client as the OAuth client for granting access to all users in the same realm. i.e. after I created my own realm, I have to add admin-client to my own realm in order for this to work.
New Question: Do you recommend we use admin-client as a generic OAuth client for getting the access token, or should each user have their own OAuth client app like what you show in Keycloak tutorial 3? I am not yet understanding their differences. Using admin-client OAuth client seems more straightforward without the extra grant page and without the need to create more OAuth clients. I just want to make sure that it is intended to be use this way for client making Restful service calls secured by Keycloak. The Keycloak notion still seems to be exposed a little bit, but it is not too bad.
Thanks for your help.

Is it possible to use a non Keycloak client to call a Keycloak secured Rest services?
by Christina Lau
Hi, I finally got some basic code to work. I have a WAR file that contains RestEasy services, and I updated the web.xml and added keycloak.json to secure it.
I then add a application similar to customer-app-cli to my KeyCloak realm. I am able to call my Rest services from this program.
However this cli program needs to use Keycloakinstalled().getTokenString() in order to get the bearer token to add to the HTTP header.
Is it possible to have different non-keycloak clients, i.e. is there a way for other clients to obtain this token string to add to the header, or is this a step that is required, i.e. the client app must be registered to the Keycloak server as well.
I may be missing something obvious completely...

Duplicate user when logging in with social link
by Rodrigo Sasaki
I created a keycloak user, and then I created social links for it on
facebook and google, on the account manager at /auth/realms/{realm}/account
After that I tried logging in with the user via the social link (google),
and it logged in but had no roles associated with it.
When I looked into it, I saw that another user was created, and I wasn't
logged in with the user I wanted. I have now 2 users with the same social
link.
When I try to login again with the social link, I get this exception:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: More results found for
socialProvider=google, socialUserId=108513709823832858822,
results=[org.keycloak.models.jpa.entities.UserEntity@2a8bbbe,
org.keycloak.models.jpa.entities.UserEntity@13bdb84f]
I am using the beta-2 version here, is this a known problem?
