    <title>Spring Security Adapter</title>
    <para>
        To secure an application with Spring Security and Keycloak, add this adapter as a dependency to your project.
        You then have to provide some extra beans in your Spring Security configuration file and add the Keycloak security
        filter to your pipeline.
    </para>
    <para>
        Unlike the other Keycloak Adapters, you should not configure your security in web.xml. However, keycloak.json is still required.

            The Keycloak Spring Security adapter takes advantage of Spring Security's flexible security configuration syntax.

                Keycloak provides a KeycloakWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter as a convenient base class for creating a
                <ulink url="http://docs.spring.io/spring-security/site/docs/4.0.x/apidocs/org/springframework/security/config/annotation/web/WebSecurityConfigurer.html">WebSecurityConfigurer</ulink>
                instance. The implementation allows customization by overriding methods. While its use is not required, it greatly simplifies your security context configuration.

                You must provide a session authentication strategy bean which should be of type

            <para>
                Spring Security's <code>SessionFixationProtectionStrategy</code> is currently not supported because it changes
                the session identifier after login via Keycloak. If the session identifier changes, universal log out will not
                work because Keycloak is unaware of the new session identifier.

        <title>Multi Tenancy</title>
        <para>
            The Keycloak Spring Security adapter also supports multi tenancy. Instead of injecting
            <literal>AdapterDeploymentContextFactoryBean</literal> with the path to <literal>keycloak.json</literal> you
            can inject an implementation of the <literal>KeycloakConfigResolver</literal> interface. More details on how
            to implement the <literal>KeycloakConfigResolver</literal> can be found in <xref linkend="multi_tenancy" />.

    <section>
        <title>Naming Security Roles</title>
        <para>
            Spring Security, when using role-based authentication, requires that role names start with <code>ROLE_</code>.
            For example, an administrator role must be declared in Keycloak as <code>ROLE_ADMIN</code> or similar, not simply
            <code>ADMIN</code>.
        </para>
        <para>
            The class <code>org.keycloak.adapters.springsecurity.authentication.KeycloakAuthenticationProvider</code>
            supports an optional <code>org.springframework.security.core.authority.mapping.GrantedAuthoritiesMapper</code>
            which can be used to map roles coming from Keycloak to roles recognized by Spring Security. Use, for example,
            <code>org.springframework.security.core.authority.mapping.SimpleAuthorityMapper</code> to insert the
            <code>ROLE_</code> prefix and convert the role name to upper case. The class is part of Spring Security
            Core module.

        <title>Client to Client Support</title>
        <para>
            To simplify communication between clients, Keycloak provides an extension of Spring's <code>RestTemplate</code> that
            handles bearer token authentication for you. To enable this feature your security configuration must add the
            <code>KeycloakRestTemplate</code> bean. Note that it must be scoped as a prototype to function correctly.
        </para>
        <para>
            For Java configuration:

    @Bean
    @Scope(ConfigurableBeanFactory.SCOPE_PROTOTYPE)
    public KeycloakRestTemplate keycloakRestTemplate() {
        return new KeycloakRestTemplate(keycloakClientRequestFactory);
    }

        <para>
            Your application code can then use <code>KeycloakRestTemplate</code> any time it needs to make a call to another

                <![CDATA[

    private KeycloakRestTemplate template;

        <title>Spring Boot Configuration</title>
        <para>
            Spring Boot attempts to eagerly register filter beans with the web application context. Therefore,
            when running the Keycloak Spring Security adapter in a Spring Boot environment, it may be necessary to add two
            <code>FilterRegistrationBean</code>s to your security configuration to prevent the Keycloak filters from being
            registered
            twice.
