Keycloak/OIDC : retrieve user groups attributes - resteasy

Question

I've extracted a user's groups information from the OIDC endpoint of Keycloak, but they don't come with the group ATTRIBUTES I defined (see Attributes tab into the group form, near Settings). Is there a claim to add to my request?
I'm using a RESTeasy client to reach Keycloak's admin API (had much better results than using the provided admin client, yet):
#Path("/admin/realms/{realm}")
public interface KeycloakAdminService {
#GET
#Path("/users/{id}/groups")
#Consumes(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
#Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
List<GroupRepresentation> getUserGroups(#PathParam("realm") String realm, #PathParam("id") String userId,
#HeaderParam(AUTHORIZATION) String accessToken);
//DEBUG the access token must always be prefixed by "Bearer "
}
So I can fetch a user's groups:
private void fetchUserGroups(UserInfoOIDC infos, String userId) {
log.info("Fetching user groups from {}...", getRealm());
try {
KeycloakAdminService proxy = kcTarget.proxy(KeycloakAdminService.class);
AccessTokenResponse response = authzClient.obtainAccessToken(getAdminUsername(), getAdminPassword());
List<GroupRepresentation> groups = proxy.getUserGroups(getRealm(), userId,
"Bearer " + response.getToken());
infos.importUserGroups(groups); //DEBUG here we go!
} catch (WebApplicationException e) {
log.error("User groups failure on {}: {}", getRealm(), e.getMessage());
}
}
But when it comes to data exploration, it turns out that no attributes are provided into the GroupRepresentation#getAttributes structure.
I've read that claims can be added to user info requests. Does it work on the admin API? How can I achieve that result with RESTeasy templates?
Thx

Answer 1

I was able to achieve this by adding groups/roles info in token other claims property:
For this in keycloak config, go to your client -> mappers & add a group/role mapper. E.g.
Now this info will start coming in your access token:
To access these group attribute in Java you can extract it from otherclaims property of accesstoken. E.g.:
KeycloakSecurityContext keycloakSecurityContext = (KeycloakSecurityContext)(request.getAttribute(KeycloakSecurityContext.class.getName()));
AccesToken token = keycloakSecurityContext.getToken();
In below image you can see that otherclaims property of token is filled with groups attribute that we created on keycloak. Note that if we had named "token claim property" as groupXYZ, the otherclaims would be showing:
groupsXYZ=[Administrator]

Answer 2

This is how I could eventually map group attributes (inherited as user attributes, as suspected before) into user informations, into the "other claims" section :

Answer 3

It is possible to inherit attributes from the group by switching on Aggregate attribute values option during the creation of a new User Attribute mapper.

Answer 4

First of all I think the answers above are correct. I was able to achieve what I wanted to do by following recommendations from them.
But I have also broke by production keycloak integration with auth2-proxy which lead to some outage for internal users :)
So, I took time to investigate a bit and came up with creating new client scope and adding custom client role / realm role / group mappers to it.
It works, and also you don't break your working keycloak integrations with other services ;)
Here is all my terraform code which you can you to reproduce what I did:
variable "realm_name" {
type = string
description = "Name of the realm to create"
default = "master"
}
variable "keycloack_user" {
type = string
description = "Keycloak admin user"
default = "admin"
}
variable "keycloack_password" {
type = string
description = "Keycloak admin password"
default = "admin"
}
variable "keycloak_url" {
type = string
description = "Keycloak url"
default = "http://localhost:8090"
}
variable "oauth_fqdn" {
type = string
description = "FQDN of the oauth server used for valid redirects"
default = "http://localhost:3000/*"
}
terraform {
required_version = ">= 1.0.0"
required_providers {
keycloak = {
source = "mrparkers/keycloak"
version = ">= 3.7.0"
}
}
}
provider "keycloak" {
client_id = "admin-cli"
username = var.keycloack_user
password = var.keycloack_password
url = var.keycloak_url
realm = var.realm_name
# base_path = "/auth"
}
data "keycloak_realm" "realm" {
realm = var.realm_name
}
resource "keycloak_openid_client" "client" {
realm_id = data.keycloak_realm.realm.id
client_id = "my-client"
name = "my-client"
enabled = true
access_type = "CONFIDENTIAL"
valid_redirect_uris = [
var.oauth_fqdn
]
login_theme = "keycloak"
standard_flow_enabled = true
}
output "keycloak_client_id" {
value = keycloak_openid_client.client.client_id
}
output "keycloak_client_secret" {
value = keycloak_openid_client.client.client_secret
sensitive = true
}
// creating custom scope
resource "keycloak_openid_client_scope" "this" {
realm_id = data.keycloak_realm.realm.id
name = "group_and_roles"
description = "When requested, this scope will map a user's group memberships and all roles to a claim"
include_in_token_scope = true
}
// creating custom group mapper
resource "keycloak_generic_protocol_mapper" "groups" {
realm_id = data.keycloak_realm.realm.id
client_scope_id = keycloak_openid_client_scope.this.id
name = "groups mapper"
protocol = "openid-connect"
protocol_mapper = "oidc-group-membership-mapper"
config = {
"full.path" : "true",
"id.token.claim" : "true",
"access.token.claim" : "true",
"claim.name" : "groups",
"userinfo.token.claim" : "true"
}
}
// creating custom role mapper for realm level roles
resource "keycloak_generic_protocol_mapper" "realm_roles" {
realm_id = data.keycloak_realm.realm.id
client_scope_id = keycloak_openid_client_scope.this.id
name = "realm roles mapper"
protocol = "openid-connect"
protocol_mapper = "oidc-usermodel-realm-role-mapper"
config = {
"multivalued" : "true",
"userinfo.token.claim" : "true",
"id.token.claim" : "true",
"access.token.claim" : "true",
"claim.name" : "realm_roles",
"jsonType.label" : "String"
}
}
// creating custom role mapper for client level roles
resource "keycloak_generic_protocol_mapper" "client_roles" {
realm_id = data.keycloak_realm.realm.id
client_scope_id = keycloak_openid_client_scope.this.id
name = "client roles mapper"
protocol = "openid-connect"
protocol_mapper = "oidc-usermodel-client-role-mapper"
config = {
"multivalued" : "true",
"userinfo.token.claim" : "true",
"id.token.claim" : "true",
"access.token.claim" : "true",
"claim.name" : "client_roles",
"jsonType.label" : "String"
}
}
// adding custom scope to client as optional
resource "keycloak_openid_client_optional_scopes" "client_optional_scopes" {
realm_id = data.keycloak_realm.realm.id
client_id = keycloak_openid_client.client.id
optional_scopes = [
"address",
"phone",
"offline_access",
"microprofile-jwt",
keycloak_openid_client_scope.this.name
]
}
And later I setup my application level auth config as follows:
AUTH_ISSUER_URL=http://localhost:8090/realms/master
AUTH_CLIENT_ID=my-client
AUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=client-secret-get-it-from-output
AUTH_SCOPES="profile,email,openid,offline_access,group_and_roles"
