Keycloak.enabled = false - returning status 500 internal error

Question

I have a Java Spring application that has some api GET requests and I've recently added Keycloak security to it. I added the dependency and BOM for the new 3.3.0.CR2 release and updated my application.properties; and this all worked fine. This new release has an enabled feature to disable keycloak for testing purposes, I want to make use of (see here: Spring Boot Adapter Java). However, I can't get this feature to work.

If I try to access the GET api call with keycloak.enabled = true (ie: my security on, the default value), I get a 401 unortharised error, as expected.

However with keycloak.enabled = false I get a 500 internal error when I excpected a 200 and the GET response (this did happen before I ran Keycloak at all). Looking at the STS console I get a nullpointerexception in the internalBuild method on the following line with adapterConfig being null:

    if (adapterConfig.getRealm() == null) throw new RuntimeException("Must set 'realm' in config");

If anyone has any experience of using this feature successfully or can see anything I'm doing wrong please could you help.

For reference, my application.properties about Keycloak:

keycloak.enabled=false
keycloak.auth-server-url=http://localhost:8080/auth
keycloak.realm=SpringBoot
keycloak.resource=product-back
keycloak.ssl-required = external
keycloak.bearer-only=true
keycloak.principal-attribute=email

Answer 1

Are you also using the Spring Security Adapter ? The enable was built for only the Spring Boot adapter. But I agree we should fix this. Can you open a ticket (issues.jboss.org/browse/KEYCLOAK) ?

Answer 2

As a workaround, excluding the configuration containing the security configuration worked for me. In my case I had moved my security configuration into a separate module called security and my configuration is named SecurityConfig. Adding the following to my properties file solved my problem:

spring.autoconfigure.exclude=com.acme.security.SecurityConfig
