keycloak spring boot application.properties

The application.properties file is used in a Spring Boot application to configure various settings for the application. When using Keycloak with a Spring Boot application, you can configure the necessary settings in the application.properties file. Here are the steps to configure Keycloak in a Spring Boot application using the application.properties file:

  1. Open the application.properties file in your Spring Boot project.

  2. Add the Keycloak server URL. This is the URL where your Keycloak server is running. You can specify it using the following format: keycloak.auth-server-url=http://localhost:8080/auth

  3. Specify the Keycloak realm. The realm is a way to group and manage a set of users, roles, and resources. You can define it using the following format: keycloak.realm=myrealm

  4. Set the Keycloak client ID. The client ID is a unique identifier for your Spring Boot application within Keycloak. You can set it using the following format: keycloak.resource=myapp

  5. Specify the Keycloak client secret. The client secret is a secure value that is used to authenticate your Spring Boot application with Keycloak. You can set it using the following format: keycloak.credentials.secret=mysupersecret

  6. Optionally, you can configure other Keycloak-related settings such as the public key for token verification, the SSL required flag, and others. These settings can be added to the application.properties file as needed.

  7. Save the application.properties file.

By following these steps and configuring the necessary settings in the application.properties file, you can integrate Keycloak with your Spring Boot application. This allows you to secure your application using Keycloak's authentication and authorization features.
