[keycloak-dev] Spring Boot Starter for Spring Security Adapter

[Scott Rossillo]

Hey all,

I need to add one more module to automatically configure Spring Security for Spring Boot applications. This is a convenience but it’s also important to stop Spring Boot from registering the security filters twice.

This would be post 1.2.0 but I want to bring it up for two reasons.

First, documentation. For 1.2.0, I’ll add a note on the extra Spring Bean that has to be added to stop Spring from registering the Keycloak security filters twice.

Secondly, we need a decent module name.  spring-boot-starter-keycloak would be inline with Spring’s boot starter naming conventions but I wanted to get your opinions first. There’s already a spring-boot adapter in Keycloak that uses the Tomcat adapter. I don’t want to confuse things. There’s also the option of maintaining this boot starter separately or trying to contribute it to Spring Boot if that’s a better place for it to live.

Best,
Scott
