I have implemented Oauth2 using sparkl2 app. I am using spring-security as described in the sparkl2 app using java config. I can successfully get auth token using curl and i can invoke web service using curl.
My question is
How I can access my REST service within the same browser after login into my application? I am not sure what I am missing here?
Let me elaborate my question in more details. The way browser keep session after login and we can access any protected resource in the application, what is the best way to implement so that I can test my REST api from browser
spring security keeps it in session. Session id is stored in browser cookie, so its passed with each request to your service. Then spring security should take it and check if specific session(with user logged in) is allowed to hit this particular url.
I would start with configuring secure paths in your java config:
http.authorizeRequests().antMatchers().hasAnyRole(...)
or some other method instead antMatchers.
you probably have to log in user into spring security on some oauth callback, something like:
Authentication auth = new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(user, null, authorities);
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().setAuthentication(auth);

I have a webapp that uses Keycloak for user management and auth provider successfully.
The same application requires a CLI tool for some operations (similar to the gcloud CLI + web console).
I've implemented the CLI part using the OIDC Authorization Code Flow that opens the browser for the user to authenticate. It works like a charm.
However, if the user logoff from the browser, Keycloak will invalidate the session and the cli will have to re-authenticate to get a new access_token and refresh_token.
My question here is, how can I force the CLI app login to create a new session separate from the browser session.
Or, if not possible, what's the correct way of achieving this?
Eventually, found out that I just have to add the scope offline_access to the list of scopes I am requesting. Keycloak will then create a new offline session (bad name for the feature, Offline just means that the user doesn't have to be present, but all the refreshes happen the same way)

I integrate Google's Auth API in my production website.
When I enter the login page, it throws an idpiframe_initialization_failed exceptions to the console.
I found out that I can fix it by enabling that API / Cookies in my chrome browser, but I want to find a comprehensive solution that will prevent those exceptions in my production environment.
So my two questions are:
What do you suggest me to do in order to achieve that?
In general, what is the meaning of those excpections?
Thanks :)
If you have a production url like http://godaddysite.com etc host your page there with a Webserver.
Opening a htnl page from your computer with javascript doesnot work as it is not hosted on webserver.
Please check your redirect url etc when you created Oauth client.
Go to the Credentials page.
Click Create credentials > OAuth client ID.
Select the Web application application type.
Name your OAuth 2.0 client and click Create
check origins
create new OAuth with correct origins.
Hi i am a bit confused as to how to secure applications through keycloak, the website shows how to secure clients. The application which i need to secure in my setup is a desktop application which uses keycloak + keycloak-gatekeeper protected endpoints.
i managed to get it working using the following library in python
https://bitbucket.org/agriness/python-keycloak/src/master/
however, it requires me to enter the client-secret and i am wondering if this is safe?
also, when i use the browser login instead, the browser doesnt need the client secret, but goes though gatekeeper, this tells me that i am doing something wrong here.
thanks
Use public access type client (Clients doc):
Public access type is for client-side clients that need to perform a browser login. With a client-side application there is no way to keep a secret safe. Instead it is very important to restrict access by configuring correct redirect URIs for the client.
You can change access type on clients - choose client - settings tab admin interface.
in your case, I would use Access type as confidential
and Authorization Enabled > on
and you should use the secrecy key to authorize your call to keylock when you want to interact with keycloak API
Keycloak keycloak = KeycloakBuilder.builder()
.serverUrl("localhost")
.realm("myRealm")
.grantType(OAuth2Constants.PASSWORD)
.clientId("myclient")
.clientSecret("xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxx")
.username("foo")//the admin user
.password("password")
.build();
keycloak.realm("myRealm").users().list();
We are using Apigee as our Authorization Server (AS) and we have a few Spring Restful services deployed in IBM Bluemix public cloud which acts as our Resource server (RS).
Each of the services has an equivalent proxy service configured in Apigee. For the proxy services, we have configured the VerifyOAuthTokens policy to verify the token passed by the user and return an error if invalid token is passed
The problem is, since our RS is in the public cloud (no plans or need of moving to a dedicated or private cloud) the api endpoints are open and can be invoked by anyone who knows the url.Though the expectation is everyone should call the apis via APIGEE proxies but we cannot force that since we are in public cloud and there are no options of opening ports coming from apigee or something. We would like to take the following approach to secure the api endpoints.
Accept the Authorization header for each call
Take the token and call a validate token service in Apigee
For 2, We are not able to find an APIGEE api which can validate an access token similar to say googles
https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/tokeninfo?access_token=1/fFBGRNJru1FQd44AzqT3Zg
or Github's
GET /applications/:client_id/tokens/:access_token
Is there actually an external APIGEE service to validate a token?
If not, what would be the best way to make sure that only valid users with valid tokens can access the apis?
Thanks,
Tatha
Did you look at this post in the Apigee Community: Using third-party OAuth tokens
We did something similar to this but not using oauth tokens. We used Apigee to do a callout to a third party IDP (identity provider). The 3rd party IDP wasn't able to generate tokens but exposed a web service to authenticate the user. If the user was authenticated successfully (based on interpreting the result received back from the target endpoint webservice), then you tell Apigee that it was successful by setting the external authorization status to true (step #2 in the link).
NOTE: this has to be done inside an Assign Message Policy step PRIOR to the GenerateAccess token operation. Apigee interprets this as a successful authorization and then can generate a valid oauth token that the caller can then send along to access the protected API.
I want to integrate keycloak security features to my spring boot based rest apis.
I am using KeyCloak 1.3.1 Final.
Now this is pure rest based api and am doing my testing through postman
I have got my rest api secured and when i try to access it do asks me for authorization, but am not able to execute my request. basically am locked out of my api.
I will quickly list out things that I have already done
Created a spring boot rest api and tested it. It works fine.
Modified my gradle for KeyCloak and configured it as per this document
Configured my keyCloak for the "bearer only" application
I tried to generate access token, but I was not able to. Therefore I created another Client in keycloak with "confidential" and used this client to generate the access token (both the clients were pointing to same application. Am not sure if this is correct)
With this access token, I am trying to make api call but am getting 401
Again am using this document.
I am new to both keycloak and spring.
So what I want to ask here is how can we generate the access token for testing a rest api in a scenario like one which is here.
Any useful resource on KeyCloak that can help me out here. As of now I dont have a clue as to where the problem is? Is it with my api or with how I have configured the KeyCloak.
Also since I am new to spring and I just could not found a decent document on how to configure cloak for spring boot. If you can help with that as well.
Moving further on this I was informed on the KeyCloak mailing list that spring boot adapter only supports basic authentication, and so I decided to incorporate the spring security adapter itself.
I did that and when am running the application and providing creds am still not able to make it work. However something interesting is happening. I am being redirected to http://127.0.0.1:8090/sso/login
I double checked it and that is not the redirect url i have provided.
???
Any idea why?
(Once again am new to it and learning about spring and security on way through this project. So please bear with me.)
So after spending quite a good amount of time and getting some help from keycloak user list here is how i got it to work.
Use Spring Security instead of spring boost security adapter (as I have already mentioned in the the edit, boot adapter is only for basic authentication)
There documentation does a decent job of explaining out everything else refer to that.
I am still testing the whole thing and will document it out for future references.
