Spring Boot Adapter

Adding the Dependency

To add the starter to your project using Maven, add the following to your dependencies:

XML




<dependency>
    <groupId>org.keycloak</groupId>
    <artifactId>keycloak-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
</dependency>


Add the Adapter BOM dependency:

XML




<dependencyManagement>
  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.keycloak.bom</groupId>
      <artifactId>keycloak-adapter-bom</artifactId>
      <version>21.1.2</version>
      <type>pom</type>
      <scope>import</scope>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>


Changes in the application.properties file

You can configure the realm for the Spring Boot adapter via the normal Spring Boot configuration. For example:

keycloak.realm = your_realm
keycloak.auth-server-url = http://127.0.0.1:8080
keycloak.ssl-required = external
keycloak.resource = your_client_id
keycloak.credentials.secret = your_client_secret
keycloak.use-resource-role-mappings = true

Note: Make sure to replace the placeholders (your_realm, your_client_id, your_client_secret) with your Keycloak realm, client ID, and client secret.
