External Role to Role Mapper

Wednesday, 19 April 2017

Hi All,

I'm running KC 2.5.1. In the following scenario. The role mapper 'External Role to
Role' doesn't seem to work correctly.

I have two KC realms. Realm A is an IdP for Realm B. In the IdP config on realm B, I
configure a External Role to Role mapper to map the role "Test".

During the first broker login of a user from Realm B to Realm A, the user is created and
the role is mapped successfully.

If the role is removed from the user in Realm A, then the user signs in again from Realm
B, the role is not re-added.

Similarly, the role is not added if there is an existing user in Realm A and they create a
federation link with Realm B.

I have noticed an error though if I try to map to a non-existant role in Realm A.

Can anyone tell me if this is by design, resolved in a later release or an issue I should
raise a JIRA about?

Thanks
Adam
