JSON Export of Realm
by Nils Preusker
Hi all,
I was wondering whether there is a simple way to export the realms you
create in the admin console as JSON like you did with the demo realm. I
didn't find a way to do this in the console UI.
Cheers,

Re: [keycloak-user] Inject (Keycloak)Principal
by Dirk Franssen
Hey Bill,
I think it would make sense to add the IDToken to the KeycloakPrincipal.
This avoids the additional
servletRequest.getAttribute(KeycloakSecurityContext.class.getName()) call
in order to get the user details.
For info to other users: in order to get more than only the (preferred)
username, you should change in your realm the Allowed Claims at the
application level, otherwise e.g. the email address will stay null however
it was provided in the account of the user.
@Nils/Juca:
the injection of the principal is now working. I didn't had @Stateless on
the CustomerService before, that's why :-).
Just to be sure: in one of the video's the database service was also being
defined in the admin console as an application, but I assume that this is
superfluous as the bundeld demo realm is not describing it?
Thanks.
Dirk Franssen

Inject (Keycloak)Principal
by Dirk Franssen
Hi,
I was playing around with the examples, more specifically with the
customer-portal-js which is accessing the database resource. In that
CustomerService I was trying to get access to the Principal and trying to
extend to return in addition the username of the logged-in user:
@Path("customers")
public class CustomerService {
@Inject
Principal principal;
//@Context
//SecurityContext sc;
//Principal principal = sc.getUserPrincipal();
//@Context
//ContainerRequestContext request;
//SecurityContext sc = request.getSecurityContext();
//Principal principal = sc.getUserPrincipal();
@GET
@Produces("application/json")
@NoCache
public List<String> getCustomers() {
ArrayList<String> rtn = new ArrayList<String>();
rtn.add("Bill Burke");
rtn.add("Stian Thorgersen");
rtn.add("Stan Silvert");
rtn.add("Gabriel Cardoso");
rtn.add("Viliam Rockai");
rtn.add("Marek Posolda");
rtn.add("Boleslaw Dawidowicz");
rtn.add(principal.getName()); //<--- add username to the list
return rtn;
}
}
But this throws a npe as the principal is always null. I noticed that the
JaxrsBearerTokenFilter is adding to the ContainerRequestContext a new
SecurityContex, of which the getUserPrincipal method returns the
KeycloakPrincipal. But I can't figure out how to get access to this from
the CustomerService.
My intention is to verify if the logged-in user is accessing his own
resources, and e.g. is not trying to update data of somebody else. E.g. the
id should match principal.getName() in following:
@POST
@Path("/users/{id}/friends")
public void addFriend(@PathParam("id") String userId, Friend friend) {
...
}
Any suggestions? It would be nice if, beside the KeycloakPrincipal is
injectable, to be able to define something like @IsOwner:
public void addFriend(@PathParam("id") @IsOwner String userId, Friend
friend)
or even more concise:
public void addFriend(@IsOwner("id") String userId, Friend friend)
Kind regards,
Dirk Franssen

Re: [keycloak-user] token expired exception (Stian Thorgersen)
by Toan Nguyen Xuan
Hi,
The current I have not try keycloak with my project. I try reseasy 3.0.6 that has simple oauth2 implement and I can't control expired key in my project. Can you show me how to solve this problem by using keyloak? I install keycloak successfully but I don't know start where. If this is solved I will use keycloak in my project.
Many thanks before.

Are you using one of our adapters?
The token expiration can be controlled through the admin console, but generally a token should have a relatively short expiration (5-10 min). Then you have a refresh token with a long expiration (days) that can be used to retrieve a new token. Prior to doing a request you should check the expiration time and retrieve a new token if needed.

Keycloak and AngularJS
by Nils Preusker
Hi Stian and Bill,
I've posted some questions regarding this topic before but I thought I'd
start a new thread to keep things focused:
I'm writing an AngularJS application with Java EE 6/7 REST (JAX-RS) backend
modules. To add authentication and authorization to this application, I'd
like to use keycloak
* as a user and role management front-end
* to provide a customizable login page (works very well by the way ;)
* as an OAuth 2.0 token provider
* to add user and role information to the HTTPRequests in my REST/ backend
modules
To do this, I'm currently looking at keycloak.js and the customer-app-js
example. However, I'm wondering whether this is really the best way to go.
In a reply to an earlier post of mine you mentioned that the keycloak admin
console is written in AngularJS and that you are using HTTP-only cookies
there.
However, in keycloak.js and the customer-app-js example you are retrieving
the token in the JS app and adding an authorization header with a bearer
token to the HTTP requests.
So here are my questions:
* Is there a reason you are using two different approaches in the admin
console and the official demo app?
* which one of the two approaches (bearer tokens vs. HTTP-only cookie) will
you support/ will be the officially recommended one for HTML5/ client side
JavaScript applications in keycloak?
* am I right in assuming that you haven't quite decided yet which approach
to use and that you are still discussing this in the keycloak team?
Looking forwards to your reply!
Cheers,
Nils

token expired exception
by Toan Nguyen Xuan
Hi you,
I just use keycloak for authen application to access my resource, but I
don't know control token key life time. One app will not access my resource
when token key is expired, this app does not know when reinit token key. I
want to catch Token key expired to return apps. Please help me.
Have any extend keylocak library? Goal of Keyloak is very good, I like
this.

Install examples
by Nils Preusker
Hey guys,
I just noticed that if you want to install the preconfigured examples, the
README.md file states that you should run mvn clean install. While that
works fine if you have keycloak checked out and the root pom installed in
your local maven repo (in the correct version), it fails if you just
download the keycloak-war-dist-all-1.0-alpha-XX.zip and try to install the
examples. This might be confusing for someone who just wants to quickly
install the examples. I didn't check in detail yet, but I guess it could
easily be avoided by removing the parent pom dependency in the example app
poms.
Cheers,
Nils

Figured out Logging out
by Dean Peterson
When I entered the Admin URL I used a localhost url. I have my test app on
a separate machine from the keycloak server I have running. My redirect
urls all have localhost and that is fine because I am using my app on the
machine it is running on and a localhost redirect is ok when the redirect
happens on my end. It was intuitive for me to put localhost in the admin
url too because the redirect urls and the admin url are all entered on the
same page. When I log out, the keycloak server makes a request on its end
using the management url. Of course that fails because localhost refers to
the keycloak server in that case and not my application. So, long story
short, stupid user error.

Re: [keycloak-user] Logging out
by Dean Peterson
I used a different e-mail and my previous post did not get through.
Ok, that makes sense. I am still trying to figure out how k_logout should
work on my end. I do have the keycloak modules installed on the server
running my app. However, I still get a value of false in logoutApplication:
Response response = client.target(managementUrl).path(AdapterConstants.
*K_LOGOUT*).request().post(Entity.*text*(token));
*boolean* success = response.getStatus() == 204;
The success Boolean is false. I set the Admin url to some path with
"admin" but I do not have a REST service at any location for
.../admin/.../k_logout. Am I supposed to do something on my end or should the
keycloak modules have automatically set something up that understands how
to handle a request to something like .../admin/.../k_logout?
I just would have liked to make all of this a bit easier. Why can't I
create some REST service on my end that calls something like:
KeycloakSecurityContext.logout(); Under the covers
KeycloakSecurityContext.logout() builds the logout uri, sends the request
to the keycloak server and finally logs me out of the local application?
