application.yml — Common Providers

# Keycloak

Custom Claim Extraction

@Component
public class JwtClaimExtractor {

    public UUID getUserId(JwtAuthenticationToken token) {
        return UUID.fromString(token.getToken().getClaimAsString("sub"));
    }

    public String getEmail(JwtAuthenticationToken token) {
        return token.getToken().getClaimAsString("email");
    }

    public List<String> getRoles(JwtAuthenticationToken token) {
        // Keycloak nests roles under realm_access.roles
        Map<String, Object> realmAccess = token.getToken().getClaimAsMap("realm_access");
        if (realmAccess == null) return List.of();
        return (List<String>) realmAccess.getOrDefault("roles", List.of());
    }
}

Controller — Accessing Current User

@RestController
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class OrderController {

    @GetMapping("/api/v1/orders/my")
    public ApiResponse<List<OrderResponse>> myOrders(
        @AuthenticationPrincipal Jwt jwt  // inject JWT directly
    ) {
        UUID userId = UUID.fromString(jwt.getSubject());
        return ApiResponse.ok(orderService.findByUser(userId));
    }

    // Or with JwtAuthenticationToken for full principal
    @GetMapping("/api/v1/profile")
    public ApiResponse<ProfileResponse> profile(JwtAuthenticationToken token) {
        return ApiResponse.ok(userService.findByEmail(
            token.getToken().getClaimAsString("email")
        ));
    }
}

Method Security with Scopes

@PreAuthorize("hasAuthority('SCOPE_orders:read')")
public List<Order> findAll() { ... }

@PreAuthorize("hasRole('ADMIN') or @orderSecurity.isOwner(#orderId, authentication)")
public Order findById(UUID orderId) { ... }

// Custom security bean
@Component("orderSecurity")
public class OrderSecurityService {
    public boolean isOwner(UUID orderId, Authentication auth) {
        Jwt jwt = (Jwt) auth.getPrincipal();
        UUID userId = UUID.fromString(jwt.getSubject());
        return orderRepository.existsByIdAndCustomerId(orderId, userId);
    }
}

Gotchas

• Agent uses hasRole("ADMIN") for scope check — scopes use hasAuthority("SCOPE_admin")
• Agent forgets issuer-uri validation — always configure to prevent token forgery
• Agent maps roles wrong for Keycloak — roles are nested under realm_access.roles
• Agent uses getPrincipal() directly — cast to Jwt or use @AuthenticationPrincipal Jwt
• Agent adds userDetailsService bean — not needed for resource servers (stateless JWT)
