BlogDoFT.Libs.Keycloak

Client-credentials Keycloak token provider and a DelegatingHandler to attach Bearer tokens to outgoing HTTP requests. Registers IKeycloakTokenProvider (from BlogDoFT.Libs.Keycloak.Abstractions) as a typed HttpClient and caches the access token until shortly before it expires.

Purpose

  • Fetch and cache an access token from Keycloak using the client_credentials grant.
  • Provide KeycloakAuthenticationHandler, a DelegatingHandler that attaches the cached token to any HttpClient it decorates.

Configuration

{
  "Keycloak": {
    "TokenEndpoint": "https://keycloak.example.com/realms/demo/protocol/openid-connect/token",
    "ClientId": "my-client",
    "ClientSecret": "my-secret"
  }
}

Quick start

// Composition root
services.AddKeycloakTokenProvider();

// or configure options in code
services.AddKeycloakTokenProvider(options =>
{
    options.TokenEndpoint = "https://keycloak.example.com/realms/demo/protocol/openid-connect/token";
    options.ClientId = "my-client";
    options.ClientSecret = "my-secret";
});

Authenticating another HttpClient

services
    .AddHttpClient("downstream-client")
    .AddHttpMessageHandler<KeycloakAuthenticationHandler>();

Notes

  • AddKeycloakTokenProvider fails fast with an OptionsValidationException when Keycloak:TokenEndpoint, Keycloak:ClientId or Keycloak:ClientSecret is missing or empty.
  • KeycloakAuthenticationHandler is registered so it can be attached to other HttpClient registrations (e.g. the Flagr client from BlogDoFT.Libs.Flagr) via AddHttpMessageHandler<KeycloakAuthenticationHandler>(); it is never automatically applied to the token-provider's own client, since fetching a token cannot depend on already having one.

Versioning

Starting with v10.0.0, this library's version numbering follows the major version of the .NET runtime it targets. For example, this version is compatible with .NET 10, so the major version is 10 — this explains the jump from the previous 1.x version series.
