I have a sample app which correctly secures the rest api locally without nginx. Now when I put this in production behind a nginx proxy it does not work. No errors. It allows all request.
Front end serer with ssl is https://frontend.com
Back end server with ssl is https://backend.com
Keycloak proxy forward is true
Front end server(node server on 9000) <-> NGINX <-> Keycloak (running on 8180)
nginx file sample
upstream keycloak_server {
server localhost:8180;
}
upstream node_server {
server localhost:9000;
}
location /auth/ {
proxy_pass http://keycloak_server;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
location / {
proxy_pass http://node_server;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
Front end server calls a backend api using Angular. REST api calls looks like https://backend.com/callTest
Backend server(running on tomcat) <-> NGINX <-> Spring Boot(with keycloak)
nginx sample
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/dt-1.0/;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}
in angular keycloak.json looks like
{
"realm": "demo",
"auth-server-url": "https://frontend.com/auth",
"ssl-required": "none",
"resource": "tutorial-frontend",
"public-client": true
}
in spring boot keycloak properties look like
keycloak.auth-server-url=https://frontend.com/auth
keycloak.realm=demo
keycloak.resource=tutorial-frontend
keycloak.public-client=true
keycloak.bearer-only = true
keycloak.cors = true
keycloak.security-constraints[0].authRoles[0]=user
keycloak.security-constraints[0].securityCollections[0].patterns[0]=/*
Please let me know how to correct this. I would really appreciate it.
