Re: [keycloak-user] Allowing multiple JWT issuers in a devel environment

Hi Jonathan, This is not only a development issue. Anyone running in NAT'd environments and/or more complex network setups will face this. I raised the same issue few days ago (http://lists.jboss.org/ pipermail/keycloak-user/2017-May/010788.html) and there is plenty of previous post highlighting the issue dating even few years back. I even offered myself to implement whatever changes are necessary to Keycloak adapters since this is an important feature for one of my clients. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that the Keycloak maintainers/community really care about this issue or have any intention of doing something about it :/ Regards, -- *Juanjo Díaz* Software Architect @Intopalo Oy <https://intopalo.com> +358 50 4667571 <+358+50+4667571> | juanjo.diaz(a)intopalo.com On 3 June 2017 at 07:25, Jonathan Little <rationull(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > I'm trying to set up a devel environment with Keycloak in a Docker > container, a back-end service in a separate linked Docker container, and a > front end web app that authenticates against Keycloak and then uses a > bearer token with the back end service.
