I am working with Keycloak
16.1.0, spring boot
2.6.2 an external application client sends a bearer token in to my server application to the endpoint http://romanmed-host:8888/actuator/health
.
By cranking the debugging level up to maximum, I can see the access token before its processed. I can verify that its accurate by using the JWT
Debug site JSON Web Tokens to verify that the signature is correct.
Yet several lines later in the output log the same bearer token somewhat truncated is listed with an error saying that it failed to verify. When checked by using the JWT
site indicates a signature error, but the content is correct. Naturally I would like to know why it appears to be truncated and what I can do about it.
- I can match the output from the client program to the server and its not been changed, so truncation must occur within the server program.
- The program is accepting the request by a get request, since the token can be checked by JWT as valid at this point, its not truncated by the get request input method.
- I have not inserted a filter in the security filter chain, so I can see how any of my code could be doing anything to invalid the token.
- Other than the
Failed to verify token
no other error messages are generated, suggesting that until this point everything is correct.
I can see that the WebAsyncManagerIntegrationFilter, SecurityContextPersistenceFilter, HeaderWriterFilter,KeycloakPreAuthActionsFilter and KeycloakAuthenticationProcessingFilter have all been invoked.
I am assuming that the problem is somewhere within the KeycloakAuthenticationProcessingFilter
, but I don't understand why the token appears to have been truncated at this point.
The received bearer token is

CodePudding user response:
The problem is the set up of the client and server programs.
The server used the value
auth-server-url: http://localhost:8085/auth
in its application.yml file to define the location of the Keycloak
server, the client used the value
auth-server-url: http://romanmed-host:8085/auth
to define the location of Keycloak
where the machine name romanmed-host
is an alias for localhost
. Having changed these values to be the same value, everything works as expected.
The diagnostics generated by the debugging/trace code are confusing, string described as truncated header
seems to be truncated the bearer token, with out the signature. What the 'Keycloak` diagnostic is attempting to print is the part of the token which defines the tokens permissions and not the signature section.
Running the entire bearer token through the JWT
site does show that the token is valid, because its a correctly encoded token and is legitimate.
The problem is not the token, but the way the token is being used
! The client was expecting a legal signed token generated by them instance of Keycloak
that it knew about, what it got was a legal signed token generated by Keycloak
with a different address, which it correctly objected to.
The problem being the nature of the generated error message, it just claimed that the token signature was invalid, had it said something about an invalid/unexpected hostname, the nature of the problem would have been rather more obvious and resolved much faster. Keycloak
is design to be flexible, so error messages tend to more vague to cover all situations, hence the message there is something wrong with your bearer token signature which is correct, but vague.
There seems to several schools of thought on how to resolve issues like this, one is to use an raw ip address which will always resolve to the same value. Thus avoid problems like this. This suffers from if the Keycloak
server is moved to another machine there are lots of values to change.
My solution is to define an alias value in the hosts/dns server for the address of the eycloak
server and always use that value in the support files. Hence if the Keycloak
server is ever moved to another address, there is only one value to change.
