[keycloak-user] 401 http status instead of 203 in case of unauthorized access to specific route

[Tony Harris]

Have you looked at sending the X-Requested-With header with a value of XHTMLRequest and setting the autodetect-bearer-only value.

See https://www.keycloak.org/docs/4.2/securing_apps/index.html

Hi,

If you are using your node app just to expose APIs that your SPA will consume, you should flag your node-ap as "bearer-only" (in the keycloak
config) , this will return a 401 if you user is not authenticated (and not attempt the redirect 302).
This also means that your SPA must obtain the token by using the Keycloak Javascript library.
