[keycloak-user] Problems enable policy enforcer for spring security in spring boot.

I have set up an URL resource policy (For ex: /greeting for USER role) for my bear only client on keycloak server. In this client, implemented by a spring security in spring boot, I have added keycloak.json: { "realm": "auth", "realm-public-key": "key", "bearer-only": true, "auth-server-url": "http://10.3.42.29:8080/auth", "ssl-required": "external", "resource": "auth-service", "credentials": { "secret": "secret" }, "policy-enforcer": { "user-managed-access" : {}, "enforcement-mode" : "ENFORCING", "paths": [ { "name" : "resource-greeting" } ] } } the "resource-greeting" is the resource name set up in authorization of client "auth-service" on keycloak server, and only be accessible by USER role accounts (a role based policy is also configured with a permission). Now, I am very confused what need be done on spring security side, from what I have read the examples so far, I have not seen any example using spring security together with *policy enforcer*. Most examples enable the authentication/authorization in SecurityConfig (which extends KeycloakWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter), so override "config" method where it uses antMatcher to restrict URL (/greeting in my case) for certain ROLES. See following two examples: @Override protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception { http .sessionManagement().sessionCreationPolicy(SessionCreationPolicy.STATELESS) .sessionAuthenticationStrategy(sessionAuthenticationStrategy()) .and() .addFilterBefore(keycloakPreAuthActionsFilter(), LogoutFilter.class) .addFilterBefore(keycloakAuthenticationProcessingFilter(), X509AuthenticationFilter.class) .exceptionHandling().authenticationEntryPoint(authenticationEntryPoint()) .and() .authorizeRequests() .antMatchers("/**").authenticated() .anyRequest().permitAll(); } @Override protected void *configure*(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception { super.configure(http); http .authorizeRequests() .antMatchers("/customers*").hasRole("USER") .antMatchers("/admin*").hasRole("ADMIN") .anyRequest().permitAll(); } But as I understand so far for* policy enforcer*, all authentication/authorization should be pushed outside of the code, and be done by client adapter based on "paths" in keycloak.json, /*automatically*/. My question is, what need be done in method configure? If we can do authz through policy enforcer, why do we still need authorize in above configure method? I have also seen someone mention to add /*keycloakAuthenticatedActionsFilter */to make policy enforcer work, how to do that? thanks, Rong -- View this message in context: http://keycloak-user.88327.x6.nabble.com/Problems-enable-policy-enforcer-...
