Hi Pedro, thanks for the quick reply. So I got it working now, that the resource I created is enforcing the one policy. For a single resource this is great. Later on I would like to have an multi tenant solution, short explanation what I mean: Different companies have the same functionality but maybe want to change the restriction for there self. But still with only one backend application running. So each company should get one realm with the backend application registered as a client. When they call the api  the backend should enforce the policies of the company specific client. Therefore I have 2 questions: 1. Is it possible to configure the enforcer to enforce all policies for all resources only depending on the requested on the path. So I only to have to add the middleware once before the express router. So for example we have a route /api/devices and /api/users (GET,POST,DELETE each). Both are represented by a resource in the keycloak admin console. I would like to have something like this: router.js **** const express = require('express'); const router = express.Router(); const users = require('../controllers/users.controller'); const devices = require('../controllers/devices.controller'); router.post('/users/', users.create); router.delete('/users/', users.deleteAll); router.get('/users/', users.findAll); router.post('/devices/', devies.create); router.delete('/devices/', devicese.deleteAll); router.get('/devices/', devices.findAll); module.exports = router; **** app.js **** .... //all from before app.use('/api', keycloak.enforcer(__SOME_CONFIG__), routes); **** I dont want to write keycloak.enforcer(...) to each line of users or devices... Maybe this can done by the claims and the context information? But if yes I don't get how. 2. For now the solution is only single tenant, but If I want to have it multi tenant and have realm per company with similar clients (only different in policies and permissions). Do you have an idea how I can solve the problem that the keycloak object is configured realm specific? I would probably build a middleware which checks for a custom HTTP header or looks for a subdomain for referencing the company. Depending on the company I would set the keycloak object. Do you think this can work ? Or do you have a better idea? Some suggestions for your documentation: - Could you somewhere describe what the middleware option protected is doing? The Logout, ... options are explained, but the protected I couldn't find. - Your default resource is called 'Default Resource' but in the example the resource is renamed to 'resource' the rest is untouched and default config. Maybe a comment or adjustment of the example might be helpful. Regards, Lasse On 14.05.19 20:33, Pedro Igor Silva wrote:

Hey Pedro, sorry for the really late reply. There've been some other issues I had to fix first before I could come back to authorization. But now I try to get this done. Unfortunately I don't really get the thing with the resources and the regarding URIs. I want the keycloak enforcer middleware only called at the one point, like I explained. Based on the called route (e.g. /api/users or api/devices) I would like to have only the permissions of the resource evaluated. I guess somehow I just miss a thing and it should be easy possible. What I did: 1. Created 2 resources (users, devices with URIs "/api/users" or "/api/devices" 2. Created 2 permission and policy (users grant always, devices deny always) 3. Added the keycloak enforcer middleware before the router. ****     app.use('/api', keycloak.enforcer(['users', 'devices']), routes); **** Unfortunately when I access /api/devices this is allowed. I would like to create resources on the client and have one policy per each to decide. Is it possible, that the enforcer checks which resource is requested and uses only that one. If not what is the URI of a resource for? Regards Lasse On 15.05.19 19:55, Pedro Igor Silva wrote:

So just to make it sure, if I use the node adapter the resource URIs in the keycloak admin console are not used yet? I would have thought that the backend sends a request to keycloak sending the - bearer token (for all credentials and user information...) - request object (to have the requested resource) And then keycloak evaluates and only answers grant or deny ?! Is this decision maid inside the adapter or keycloak? On 4.

Maybe this can done by the claims and the context information? But if yes I don't get how. Yes, by using claims you are allowed to use them in your policies.

Do you think this can work ? Or do you have a better idea? AFAIK, this is how you do it. So that accordingly with the request you build a new Keycloak object using a specific realm.

Please, let me know if that is enough or if we need to add more information. In your case, this code: app.use('/api', keycloak.enforcer({WHAT_COMES_HERE}), routes); Would be: app.use('/api', keycloak.enforcer('{resource_name}:{resource_scope}'), routes); If you have a resource in Keycloak called "foo" and a scope associated with this resource called "bar", the code would be: app.use('/api', keycloak.enforcer('foo:bar'), routes); Hope it helps.

Sorry for the text wall. Shortly what I try to do (maybe I got something completely wrong): I create a backend (node.js Bearer Only) which shall offer an REST api. Partially it is used via a frontend (keycloak-clients) or directly by some devices. In general I try to create an application with a lot of CRUD. User Management is done in keycloak and only I forward these requests to the admin REST Api. Other stuff like the devices ... I store in a separate database. So the backend is the abstraction layer for frontend and other use-cases. So far so good, but for the beginning it was enough to check weather the request comes from an authenticated person or not, so all handled via keycloak.protect() The Token from the authenticated person was passed But now I'd want to offer different authorization level (can differ due to reasons of multitenancy, why I want to solve this via policies and co in admin-console inside the client configuariton) because the normal user shall have access to only some routes and the management shall have full access to the api, but of course don't need the keycloak admin access. So I enabled the service account for my backend client and gave this one the realm-admin role so the client has access to everything and I can handle the authorization inside the backend client it self (using policies, permissions, .. inside the admin-console). (Just in case no one gets what I'm talking about. Fixing [1] should help me fixing my issue I guess) Setup - node.js application using express - registered as single client in keycloak admin-console (confidential, but config inside the code is bearer-only) - Keycloak is running in a docker-container (version 4.5) - all services are running in a docker-compose network and are behind a reverse proxy for common uri - enabled Authorization in client and changed the default policy to Negative to always deny => to see if it is enforced) My Problem I don't understand how to use the policies, permissions and Co I created in the admin-console inside the backend it self. How do I enforce that these are used? I tried to check different examples and documentation, but could get it working. The last thing I found was that the entitlement api was removed, but a policy-enforcer was added to the nodejs adapter. In the documentation for the policy-enforcer [2] I couldn't find a documentation of the middleware (keycloak.enforcer({}) [3][4]). My Code ***** app.js const express = require('express'); const app = express(); const Keycloak = require('keycloak-connect'); const session = require('express-session'); const routes = require('./routes/index'); const kcConfig = { 'realm': 'master', 'bearer-only': true, 'auth-server-url': `https://DOMAIN/auth<https://domain/auth>`, 'ssl-required': 'all', 'resource': 'fm-backend', 'credentials': { secret: 'SOME_SECRET', }, 'confidential-port': 0, 'policy-enforcer': { //tried with an without this, changed nothing 'enforcement-mode': 'ENFORCING', }, }; const memoryStore = new session.MemoryStore(); const keycloak = new Keycloak({ memoryStore }, kcConfig); app.use(keycloak.middleware({ logout: '/api/logout', protected: '/api/gates' })); // used before, worked for well for authentication app.use('/api', keycloak.protect(), routes); // now unfortunately I don't understand how to use keycloak.enforcer() middleware app.use('/api', keycloak.enforcer({WHAT_COMES_HERE}), routes); module.exports = app; ***** [1] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53722033/how-to-enable-policy-enforci...
