I use Keycloak Spring Adapter (KSA) to secure existing application. Today I realized that some functions didn't work anymore because of security checking like this:
```
GrantedAuthority adminRole = new MySpecialGrantedAuthority( "superadmin" );
for ( GrantedAuthority role : userRoles ) {
if ( role.equals( adminRole ) ) {
return true;
}
}
```
In this example, when I use KSA authorization fails.
I believe, that more preferable in `KeycloakRole` use this implementation of `equals` method.

Users who want to use PKCE support with the KeycloakInstalled adapter need to set the property
``"enable-pkce": true` in the adapter configuration / `keycloak.json`.
This adds support for the "S256" code_challenge_method to the JS Adapter.
Note that the method "plain" was deliberately left out as is not recommended
to be used in new applications.
Note that this PR includes two libraries:
- [base64-js]{@link https://github.com/beatgammit/base64-js}
- [js-sha256]{@link https://github.com/emn178/js-sha256}
`base64-js` is needed for cross-browser support for decoding the
Uint8ArrayBuffer returned by `crypto.getRandomValues` to a PKCE
compatible base64 string.
`js-sha256` library is required because the `crypto.subtle.digest`
support is not available for all browsers.
The PKCE codeVerifier is stored in the callbackStore of the JS Adapter.
Note: This PR is based on #5255 which got messed up during a rebase.
This is an issue with the Spring Security Keycloak Adapter relating to
the way the Authentication is stored in the SecurityContext, causing a
race condition in application code using that. It does not seem to
affect actual Spring Security operation.
We had a pretty strange race condition in our application. When many
requests were incoming at the same time, occasionally the old
unauthenticated Authentication provided to
KeycloakAuthenticationProvider for performing the actual authentication
would stay the current authentication, as returned by
SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication(). That resulted
in authenticated users' JavaScript requests occasionally (~1/50 given a
large request volume) returning a 403 because the 'old' token was still
in the context, causing Spring Security to see them as unauthenticated.
This PR resolves this issue by replacing the whole context, as suggested
by a Spring Security contributor in jzheaux/spring-security-oauth2-resource-server#48. By default,
SecurityContextHolder keeps the actual context object in a ThreadLocal,
which should be safe from race-conditions. The actual Authentication
object, however, is kept in a mere field, hence the reason for this PR.
