That's a bug, it should only be checking that if it's a post. Can you create a
jira please?

Subject: Re: [keycloak-user] Link to Account Page
When I invoke that URL it calles the init() method, inside
AccountService.java and inside that method there is this verification:
String referrer = headers.getRequestHeaders().getFirst("Referer");
if (referrer != null &&
!requestOrigin.equals(UriUtils.getOrigin(referrer))) {
throw new ForbiddenException();
}
the referrer is from our server, but the requestOrigin points to the
keycloak server, so they never match
