We need to make several types of calls to KeyCloak from the server side of our
application. Some are in the context of a logged in user and others are not. We have the
latter case handled right now by using the KeyCloak Admin Client. But we are unable to
locate another Java client for the purposes of making calls to KC for the currently
authenticated user. I have found the AuthZ Client, but that appears to just be for
authenticating.
The particular use case I’m researching now is we have an endpoint like
/profile-service/users/current, which will return the currently logged in user profile.
Some of that information comes from KC and some comes from the local app database.
Currently we the app configured to make the server-side call as a KC admin while it is
orchestrating this data, but I’d prefer for the user to use the same credentials as it did
when it came to the server with a BEARER token. This will help us when it comes to
auditing, especially for updates.
Does such a java client exist? Or do I need to use the KeycloakRestTemplate to make those
calls to KC?
