Hello,

any ideas regarding this?

We need to link to a default application from several applications and it would be helpful if keycloak would provide said redirect mechanism, such that

each application would only need to know the clientId of the default client application and keycloak performs the proper redirect to the actual target application.

The example posted earlier works like a charm. This could even be extended to the point that in case no clientId is given keycloak can decide which client to redirect to.

Cheers,

Thomas

Quick update - I did some further experiments with this...

I added /redirect path to the a org.keycloak.services.resources.RealmsResource
like: @Path("{realm}/{client-id}/redirect")
see code fragment below.

This allows keycloak to initiate a redirect to the browser with the actual
target url of the client. Other clients now only need to now the realm and clientId
to generate a link that eventually redirects to the target application.

Usage:
GET http://localhost:8081/auth/realms/master/launchpad/redirect -> 302 response with location: http://apps.corp.local/launchpad

Any chance to get this in as a PR?

Cheers,
Thomas

@GET
@Path("{realm}/{client-id}/redirect")
public Response getRedirect(final @PathParam("realm") String realmName, final @PathParam("client-id") String clientId) throws Exception{

RealmModel realm = init(realmName);

if (realm == null){
return null;
}

ClientModel client = realm.getClientByClientId(clientId);

if (client == null){
return null;
}

if (client.getRootUrl() == null){
return Response.temporaryRedirect(uriInfo.getAbsolutePathBuilder().replacePath(client.getBaseUrl()).build()).build();
}

return Response.temporaryRedirect(URI.create(client.getRootUrl() + client.getBaseUrl())).build();
}

I understand this as well, but it has not been uncommon to encounter a situation where the user needs to know where to go next, because Keycloak doesn't have a link available.

with a redirect facility as outlined above - one could render a link to the "$KEYCLOAK_BASE_URL/redirect" or
lookup the "default" client in order to render the client base url link with a proper label (client name).
