The Keycloak OAuth Policy is a Keycloak-specific OAuth2 policy to regulate access to APIs. Keycloak’s token format and auth mechanism facilitate excellent performance characteristics and enable users to easily tune the setup to meet their security requirements. In general, this is a good approach for achieving security without greatly impacting performance.
Do not use the Keycloak OAuth policy together with the other authentication policies BASIC Authentication and JWT. The chaining of these policies does not currently work, but this may change in future versions.

Configuration Options
| Option | Type | Description | Possible Values | Default | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Require OAuth | Boolean | Terminate request if no OAuth token is provided. Make sure that this option is true if you want to use this policy for authentication. | true / false | true | |
| Require Transport Security | Boolean | Any request used without transport security will be rejected. OAuth2 requires transport security (e.g. TLS, SSL) to provide protection against replay attacks. Please disable the TLS check if you are using Scheer PAS 21.1 or a newer version, because all PAS components are running behind a proxy server. | true / false | false | |
| Blacklist Unsafe Tokens | Boolean | Any tokens used without transport security will be blacklisted in all gateways to mitigate associated security risks. Uses distributed data store to share blacklist. | true / false | false | |
| Strip Tokens | Boolean | Remove any Authorization header or token query parameter before forwarding traffic to the API. | true / false | false | |
| Realm | String | Enter the realm name. It must be a full ISS domain path, for example http://scheer-keycloak:8080/pas-doc/keycloak/realms/PAS | - | - | |
| Keycloak Realm Certificate | String | To validate OAuth2 requests. Must be a PEM-encoded X.509 certificate. You can copy it from the Keycloak console. If you leave this field empty, the policy will try to get the public keys directly from your Keycloak. | - | - | |
| Forward Authorization Roles | Enum | Choose the type of roles to forward. It is not possible to forward realm and application roles, only one or the other. | Forward Realm Roles Forward Application Roles | Forward Realm Roles | |
| Forward Realm Roles? | Boolean | Select wether to forward realm roles. | true / false | false | |
| Forward Application Roles? | Boolean | Select whether to forward application roles. | true / false | false | |
| Application Name | String | Which application roles to forward. If you choose to forward application roles, you must provide the | - | - | |
| Delegate Kerberos Ticket | Boolean | Delegate any Kerberos Ticket embedded in the Keycloak token to the API (via the Authorization header). | true / false | false | |
| Header | Array[<forwardAuthInfo>] | Set auth information from the token into header(s). | - | - | |
| Forward AuthInfo Options | |||||
| Headers | String | The header value to set (to paired field). | |||
| Field | String | The token field name. | |||
