[FIXED] Spring Boot - How to disable Keycloak?

Issue

I have a Spring Boot project with keycloak integrated. Now I want to disable keycloak for testing purposes.

I tried by adding keycloak.enabled=false to application.properties as mentioned in Keycloak href="http://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/securing_apps/index.html#_spring_boot_adapter" rel="noreferrer">documentation but it didnt work.

So how do I disable it?

Solution

Update 2022

Please follow this excellent guide on Baeldung.

For anyone who might have the same trouble, here is what I did.

I didn't disable Keycloak but I made a separate a Keycloak config file for testing purposes.

Here is my config file

@Profile("test")
@Configuration
@EnableWebSecurity
public class SecurityTestConfig extends WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter {
    @Override
    protected void configure(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http.authorizeRequests().antMatchers("/**").permitAll();
        http.headers().frameOptions().disable();
        http.csrf().disable();

    }

    @Override
    public void configure(WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
        web.ignoring().antMatchers("/**");
    }

    @Bean
    @Scope(scopeName = WebApplicationContext.SCOPE_REQUEST, proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)
    public AccessToken accessToken() {
        AccessToken accessToken = new AccessToken();
        accessToken.setSubject("abc");
        accessToken.setName("Tester");

        return accessToken;

    }

}

Please note it is important to use this only in a test environment and therefore I have annotated the config as @Profile("test"). I have also added an AccessToken bean since some of the auditing features in my application depend on it.
