  • Does RH-SSO support Proof Key for Code Exchange by OAuth Public Clients (RFC 7636) ?
  • What is the level of support for Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE) is available in RH-SSO ?
  • Securing Web Applications with RH-SSO using OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Flow and PKCE

Resolution

Starting from the 7.2.0 release, RH-SSO does support Proof Key for Code Exchange by OAuth Public Clients on the server-side.

Support for client-side (in RH-SSO Client Adapters) has been only added in RH-SSO 7.4.0 and is limited to the JavaScript adapter as of now.

For further more details, refer to the KB article: Support for PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange) in RH-SSO.

Notes:
It is to highlight that the RFC #7636 is part of the Financial Services – Financial API that consists of the following parts:

  • Part 1: Read-Only API Security Profile
  • Part 2: Read and Write API Security Profile
  • Part 3: Open Data API
  • Part 4: Protected Data API and Schema - Read-Only
  • Part 5: Protected Data API and Schema - Read and Write

There is a Feature Request - KEYCLOACK-6767 to have Keycloak/RH-SSO to fully implement and support the full Financial API (FAPI) Security Profiles in a future release.
