Problem :

I use Keycloak 19.0.1 behind a proxy (nginx) and wasn't able to connect to the admin part of keycloak.

With a reverse proxy nginx and keycloak, login in admin console lead to be blocked on :

/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/login-status-iframe.html/init?client_id=security-admin-console ....

With a 204 return code and no other errors. 

Solution :

I had to explore keycloak source code to find the cause ; This test failed in keycloak.js : if ((event.origin !== loginIframe.iframeOrigin) in keycloak.js

After a (lot of) time of search, it appears that it compares : https://mydomain/keycloak and https://mydomain:443/keycloak because I'd setup hostname-port to 443 in keycloak.config.

My keycloak configuration : 

hostname=mydomain  
proxy=reencrypt  
hostname-strict=false  
hostname-port=443  
hostname-path=keycloak  
http-relative-path=keycloak  
hostname-admin-url=https://mydomain/keycloak

So keycloak build his URL as follow : https://mydomain:443/

And the browser send : https://mydomain/ as 443 is a default port and not displayed in the URL.

By removing the port, it works perfectly : 

#hostname-port=443

I open a discussion to improve documentation here

Problem :

I tried to connect Broadcom Introscope 10.7 and SAML given by Keycloak.

Based on these documents : 

• Forum
• Official guide

Well not enough to make it works.

Solution :

Thanks to remote debug mode, the key is that the callback URL is : 

https://<webview url>/saml.jsp

Search for saml.jsp + introscope on google. Good luck.

Here are the steps (assuming that you already have a keycloak realm up and ready) : 

Step 1 : IntroscopeEnteprise.properties

introscope.saml.enable=true
introscope.saml.request.binding=POST
introscope.saml.idpUrl=<URL_KEYCLOAK>/realms/<your realm>/protocol/saml
introscope.saml.issuer=com.ca.apm.webview.serviceprovider
introscope.saml.webstart.issuer=com.ca.apm.webstart.serviceprovider
introscope.saml.em.issuer=com.ca.apm.em.serviceprovider
introscope.saml.principalAttributeName=principalName
introscope.saml.groupsAttributeName=groups
introscope.saml.webstart.tokenTimeoutInSeconds=60
introscope.saml.internalIdp.enable=false
# introscope.saml.internalIdpUrl=http://localhost:8080/idp/profile/SAML2/POST/SSO

Step 2 : Keycloak configuration

1. Create a client named as introscope.saml.issuer so in our case :  com.ca.apm.webstart.serviceprovider
2. Enter the callback URL in Master SAML Processing URL : https://<webview url>/saml.jsp

Step 3 : Certificates

You should secure you communication between Introscope and Keycloak : 

1. Provide HTTPS for Keycloak
2. Provide HTTPS for Introscope
3. Sign information in Keycloak client
4. Import Keycloak key in a JKS truststore for Java (Webview part). Keycloak client certificate are in the client definition, tab “Keys”.
   1. Follow Official guide to create the JKS
5. Point to this truststore (example : spprivatekey.jks) - next steps.

Step 4 : IntroscopeWebview.properties:

apm.webview.saml.sp.truststore=/path/to/spprivatekey.jks
