[keycloak-user] Problems with kcadm returning messages as errors incorrectly

[Leigh Kennedy]

Hi,

I have been porting some keycloak scripts I wrote from linux to powershell.

The issue I have is while the commands work, the output is being returned as stderr incorrectly.  i.e :

PS C:\Windows\system32> kcadm.bat config credentials --server http://127.0.0.1:8080/auth --realm master --user myuser --password xxxx
kcadm.bat : Logging into http://127.0.0.1:8080/auth as user myuser of realm master

At line:1 char:1
+ kcadm.bat config credentials --server http://127.0.0.1:8080/auth --re ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (Logging into ht...of realm master:String) [], RemoteException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError


If I redirect the error ourput to a file, I get no output:

PS C:\Windows\system32> kcadm.bat config credentials --server http://127.0.0.1:8080/auth --realm master --user qlik --password Qlik1234  2>console.err

PS C:\Windows\system32>

The commands are working, but for some reason the way the java returns the output is causing the issue.

Does anyone know how to work around this?

Thanks.

Leigh.
