Keycloak Bad token response, error=not_allowed when user doesn't have the offline_access role


We have a JSF Application running on a tomcat 9 and we are using keycloak (v10.0.2) for login.

Because keycloak deprecated their tomcat-adapter we would like to switch from the keycloak tomcat-adapter to pac4j.

So I've created the following configuration.

import org.pac4j.core.client.Clients;
import org.pac4j.core.config.Config;
import org.pac4j.core.config.ConfigFactory;
import org.pac4j.oidc.client.KeycloakOidcClient;
import org.pac4j.oidc.config.KeycloakOidcConfiguration;

import com.nimbusds.oauth2.sdk.auth.ClientAuthenticationMethod;

public class SecurityConfigFactory implements ConfigFactory {

  @Override
  public Config build(final Object... parameters) {
    System.out.print("Building Security configuration...\n");

    final KeycloakOidcConfiguration keycloak = new KeycloakOidcConfiguration();
    keycloak.setBaseUri("http://localhost:8180/auth");
    keycloak.setRealm("testRealm");
    keycloak.setClientId("local-test");
    keycloak.setSecret("abc-xyz");
    keycloak.setClientAuthenticationMethod(ClientAuthenticationMethod.CLIENT_SECRET_BASIC);
    keycloak.setLogoutUrl("http://localhost:8180/auth/realms/testRealm/protocol/openid-connect/logout");
    final KeycloakOidcClient keycloakClient = new KeycloakOidcClient(keycloak);
    keycloakClient.setName("keycloakClient");

    final String callbackUrl = "http://localhost:8080/callback";
    final Clients clients = new Clients(callbackUrl, keycloakClient/* , new AnonymousClient() */);

    final Config config = new Config(clients);
    return config;
  }

}

and added the following to my web.xml

<filter>
    <filter-name>callbackFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.pac4j.j2e.filter.CallbackFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>callbackFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/callback</url-pattern>
    <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>


<filter>
    <filter-name>OidcFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.pac4j.j2e.filter.SecurityFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>configFactory</param-name>
        <param-value>abc.xyz.SecurityConfigFactory</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>clients</param-name>
        <param-value>keycloakClient</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>authorizers</param-name>
        <param-value>securityHeaders</param-value>
    </init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>OidcFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
    <dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
    <dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>

So now my problem is that when a user has the offline_access role he is able to login into keycloak. But as soon as I remove the offline_access role I get this exception if I click the login button at keycloak.

So I think that I have to tell the config to not use a offline token, or is their something obvious that I'm missing?

In keycloak I see the following events enter image description here

My Pom.xml includes (we are using Java 8 and I couldn't get a newer pac4j version to compile)

   <dependency>
        <groupId>org.pac4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>j2e-pac4j</artifactId>
        <version>4.1.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.pac4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>pac4j-oidc</artifactId>
        <version>3.9.0</version>
    </dependency>

Solution

  • My problem was a keycloak misconfiguration in my keycloak test instance.

    I had the "offline-access" Client Scope added to my Default Client Scopes.
