Unable to use Keycloak in Spring Boot 2.1 due to duplicated Bean Registration httpSessionManager

Question

I want to secure my Spring Boot 2.1 app with Keycloak 4.5.

Currently I cannot start the application due to the following error:

Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt: 
org.springframework.beans.factory.support.BeanDefinitionOverrideException: 
  Invalid bean definition with name 'httpSessionManager' defined in class path resource [dummy/service/SecurityConfig.class]: 
    Cannot register bean definition [Root bean: class [null]; scope=; abstract=false; lazyInit=false; autowireMode=3; dependencyCheck=0; autowireCandidate=true; primary=false; factoryBeanName=securityConfig; factoryMethodName=httpSessionManager; initMethodName=null; destroyMethodName=(inferred); defined in class path resource [dummy/SecurityConfig.class]] for bean 'httpSessionManager': 
There is already [Generic bean: class [org.keycloak.adapters.springsecurity.management.HttpSessionManager]; scope=singleton; abstract=false; lazyInit=false; autowireMode=0; dependencyCheck=0; autowireCandidate=true; primary=false; factoryBeanName=null; factoryMethodName=null; initMethodName=null; destroyMethodName=null; defined in URL [jar:file:/.m2/repository/org/keycloak/keycloak-spring-security-adapter/4.5.0.Final/keycloak-spring-security-adapter-4.5.0.Final.jar!/org/keycloak/adapters/springsecurity/management/HttpSessionManager.class]] bound.

My class SecurityConfig (see below) extends from KeycloakWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter. This adapter already defines the bean httpSessionManager.

I understand why this is a problem. Question is, how can I prevent this or fix my conflict?

The Steps I have done so far:

• Built my pom (see below) using:
  • spring-boot-starter-web
  • spring-boot-starter-security
  • keycloak-spring-boot-starter
  • keycloak-adapter-bom in dependencyManagement
• Defined an own SecurityConfig extending KeycloakWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter

SecurityConfig.java

@KeycloakConfiguration
@EnableGlobalMethodSecurity(prePostEnabled = true)
@Import(KeycloakWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter.class)
class SecurityConfig extends KeycloakWebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {

    @Autowired
    public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) {
        KeycloakAuthenticationProvider keycloakAuthenticationProvider = keycloakAuthenticationProvider();
        keycloakAuthenticationProvider.setGrantedAuthoritiesMapper(new SimpleAuthorityMapper());
        auth.authenticationProvider(keycloakAuthenticationProvider);
    }

    @Bean
    @Override
    protected SessionAuthenticationStrategy sessionAuthenticationStrategy() {
        return new RegisterSessionAuthenticationStrategy(new SessionRegistryImpl());
    }

    @Bean
    public KeycloakConfigResolver keycloakConfigResolver() {
        return new KeycloakSpringBootConfigResolver();
    }

    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        super.configure(http);
        http.csrf().ignoringAntMatchers("/**/*");
        http.authorizeRequests()
                .anyRequest().permitAll();
    }
}

Update There is a known issue (KEYCLOAK-8725). The fix is planned for 5.x of Keycloak. However, there was a workaround in the comments. Just replace the annotation @KeyCloakConfiguration with:

@Configuration
@ComponentScan(
    basePackageClasses = KeycloakSecurityComponents.class,
    excludeFilters = @ComponentScan.Filter(type = FilterType.REGEX, pattern = "org.keycloak.adapters.springsecurity.management.HttpSessionManager"))
@EnableWebSecurity

Answer 1

This helped me to resolve an issue, remove @KeycloakConfiguration and use this instead (from KEYCLOAK-8725):

Java:

@Configuration
@ComponentScan(
        basePackageClasses = KeycloakSecurityComponents.class,
        excludeFilters = @ComponentScan.Filter(type = FilterType.REGEX, pattern = "org.keycloak.adapters.springsecurity.management.HttpSessionManager"))
@EnableWebSecurity

Kotlin:

@Configuration
@ComponentScan(
    basePackageClasses = [KeycloakSecurityComponents::class],
    excludeFilters = [ComponentScan.Filter(type = FilterType.REGEX, pattern = ["org.keycloak.adapters.springsecurity.management.HttpSessionManager"])]
)
@EnableWebSecurity
