[keycloak-user] Add additional rights mapping step to request chain

[Boettcher, Jim]

Hi,

I was thinking of creating a custom Valve and doing the extra rights mapping work in the invoke method, but with JBoss 7.1.1 I couldn't figure out how to get my custom Valve to be invoked after Keycloaks. I configured  my custom Valve by adding a <valve>...</valve> element to the jboss-web.xml of my app, but with this my custom Valve was always invoked before Keycloak.

So instead I created a Servlet Filter and do the extra rights mapping work in the doFilter method by getting the AccessToken from the Request like this:
AccessToken token = ((KeycloakPrincipal)((HttpServletRequest)request).getUserPrincipal()).getKeycloakSecurityContext().getToken();
Based on the info in the AccessToken I can do the extra work I need.

Does this seem like a reasonable approach?

Thanks
-Jim

These are specific rights that are associated to different roles, such as the "backup right" can be associated to a backup role or an admin role.
We were looking to do this on the application server side perhaps as some sort of extension or add on or post processor to the keycloak-as7-adapter that is installed and configured as a module for JBoss.

For "rights" you mean user role mappings?  I'd have to create an SPI for that.

FYI, you can't modify the token itself as it is digitally signed.
