authentication flow creation Failed

[wufengzlw]

Hi, I got this error when I tried to create an authentication flow:

successfully authenticate with keycloak

from keycloak import KeycloakAdmin keycloak_admin = KeycloakAdmin(server_url="http://10.3.7.220/abc/auth/", username='admin', password='admin', realm_name="abc", user_realm_name="abc")

I can get a list of dict representing the authentication flows

flows = keycloak_admin.get_authentication_flows()

Get this error when I tried to create or copy an authentication flow

payload = {'alias': 'Guac-Browser with group enforcement test'}
keycloak_admin.create_authentication_flow(payload, skip_exists=False)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/home/lzhao/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/keycloak/keycloak_admin.py", line 1363, in create_authentication_flow
return raise_error_from_response(data_raw, KeycloakGetError, expected_codes=[201], skip_exists=skip_exists)
File "/home/lzhao/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/keycloak/exceptions.py", line 108, in raise_error_from_response
response_body=response.content)
keycloak.exceptions.KeycloakGetError: 400: b'{"error":"unknown_error"}'

thanks in advance

The payload must be in json.

@jsalatiel
Thank you for the reply, I tried to convert payload to json and it's still not working

import json a = {'alias': 'Guac-Browser with group enforcement test'} payload = json.dumps(a) type(payload) <class 'str'>

keycloak_admin.create_authentication_flow(payload, skip_exists=False) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/home/lzhao/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/keycloak/keycloak_admin.py", line 1363, in create_authentication_flow return raise_error_from_response(data_raw, KeycloakGetError, expected_codes=[201], skip_exists=skip_exists) File "/home/lzhao/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/keycloak/exceptions.py", line 108, in raise_error_from_response response_body=response.content) keycloak.exceptions.KeycloakGetError: 500: b'{"error":"unknown_error"}' payload = json.dump(a) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in TypeError: dump() missing 1 required positional argument: 'fp'

BTW, in the "create_authentication_flow" function, there is a json.dumps(payload), so I guess payload should be dict

def create_authentication_flow(self, payload, skip_exists=False):
    """
    Create a new authentication flow
    AuthenticationFlowRepresentation
    https://www.keycloak.org/docs-api/8.0/rest-api/index.html#_authenticationflowrepresentation
    :param payload: AuthenticationFlowRepresentation
    :param skip_exists: If true then do not raise an error if authentication flow already exists
    :return: Keycloak server response (RoleRepresentation)
    """

    params_path = {"realm-name": self.realm_name}
    data_raw = self.raw_post(URL_ADMIN_FLOWS.format(**params_path),
                             data=json.dumps(payload))
    return raise_error_from_response(data_raw, KeycloakGetError, expected_codes=[201], skip_exists=skip_exists)

hi @jsalatiel

could you help to check this one?

[jsalatiel]

I will check tomorrow and let you know

My minimal payload is payload = {"alias":"xxx", "providerId":"basic-flow", "topLevel":True, "builtIn":False} Might work without topLevel or bultIn but probably causes keycloak issues ... (providerID = basic-flow / client-flow)

[jsalatiel]

I use these as my payloads: flow_payload = { "alias": root_alias , "builtIn": False , "description": "", "providerId": "basic-flow", "topLevel": True } authn_payload = {"alias":authn_alias ,"description":"","provider":"registration-page-form","type":"basic-flow"} authz_payload = {"alias":authz_alias ,"description":"","provider":"registration-page-form","type":"basic-flow"}

I may have run into this issue as well, and it seems fixed in 0.26.1.

This call, the payload was not properly JSON-encoded: https://github.com/marcospereirampj/python-keycloak/blob/0.24.0/keycloak/keycloak_admin.py#L1376

This one is: https://github.com/marcospereirampj/python-keycloak/blob/0.26.1/keycloak/keycloak_admin.py#L1427
