[keycloak-user] Recommended way to identify user from token

[Conrad Winchester]

Hi,

I have keyclick integrated into my application and have it protecting several end points. A user can login to get access to the protected resources by adding the bearer token into the authorisation header.

I was wondering what the recommended way is to actually identify the user who has authenticated. Is this the way to do it?


 	@Context
  	private SecurityContext securityContext;
.
.
.
      KeycloakPrincipal principal = (KeycloakPrincipal)securityContext.getUserPrincipal();
      logger.info("Logged in user: "+ principal.getName());

I noticed the the name is the ‘id’ of the user from the keycloak table.

Are there any other ways to get data from the token?

Thanks

Conrad
