Documentation

See the docs: https://nikiforovall.github.io/keycloak-authorization-services-dotnet/.

Installation

dotnet add package Keycloak.AuthServices.Authentication
dotnet add package Keycloak.AuthServices.Authorization
dotnet add package Keycloak.AuthServices.Sdk

Getting Started

See the docs: https://nikiforovall.github.io/keycloak-authorization-services-dotnet/.

// Program.cs
using Keycloak.AuthServices.Authentication; 

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddKeycloakWebApiAuthentication(builder.Configuration); 
builder.Services.AddAuthorization(); 

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseAuthentication(); 
app.UseAuthorization(); 

app.MapGet("/", () => "Hello World!").RequireAuthorization(); 

app.Run();

In this example, configuration is based on appsettings.json.

//appsettings.json
{
    "Keycloak": {
        "realm": "Test",
        "auth-server-url": "http://localhost:8080/",
        "ssl-required": "none",
        "resource": "test-client",
        "verify-token-audience": false,
        "credentials": {
        "secret": ""
        },
        "confidential-port": 0
    }
}

You can always fetch the corresponding authentication options like this:

var authenticationOptions = configuration
    .GetSection(KeycloakAuthenticationOptions.Section)
    .Get<KeycloakAuthenticationOptions>(KeycloakFormatBinder.Instance);

services.AddKeycloakAuthentication(authenticationOptions);

Note, the default case convention for KeycloakAuthenticationOptions configuration is PascalCase, but you can change it by specifying KeycloakFormatBinder.Instance binding options to retrieve it based on original kebab-case. See changes in 2.0.0

Example Authorization

With Keycloak.AuthServices.Authorization, you can implement role-based authorization in your application. This package allows you to define policies based on roles. Also, you can use Keycloak as Authorization Server. It is a powerful way to organize and apply authorization polices centrally.

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

var host = builder.Host;
var configuration = builder.Configuration;
var services = builder.Services;

services.AddKeycloakWebApiAuthentication(configuration);

services.AddAuthorization(options =>
    {
        options.AddPolicy("AdminAndUser", builder =>
        {
            builder
                .RequireRealmRoles("User") // Realm role is fetched from token
                .RequireResourceRoles("Admin"); // Resource/Client role is fetched from token
        });
    })
    .AddKeycloakAuthorization(configuration);

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseAuthentication();
app.UseAuthorization();

app.MapGet("/hello", () => "[]")
    .RequireAuthorization("AdminAndUser");

app.Run();

Build and Development

dotnet cake --target build

dotnet pack -o ./Artefacts
