Activate / Set a default SPI provider

[Perot Francis]

Hi all,

 

I am migrating from Keycloak 14 to Keycloak 18.

I have a custom user SPI I was defining as the default user SPI in Keycloak 14.

      <spi name="user">

        <default-provider>my-user-spi</default-provider>

        <provider name="my-user-spi" enabled="true"/>

      </spi>

 

We now need to make it the default one with Quarkus…

Watching at this page https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak-community/blob/main/design/keycloak.x/configuration.md#configuring-a-default-provider, it seems I should use : kc.[sh|bat] build --spi-myspi-provider=<provider_id>

So I guess I should write kc.sh build --spi-user-provider=my-user-spi but by doing this, nothing changes. In “Server info/Providers”, I can see both jpa and my-user-spi but jpa is still the active one.

 

In the end, the only solution I found to make my SPI the active one is to disable the out-of-the-box one by adding the following line in keycloak.properties.

spi-user-jpa-enabled=false

 

Finally, it is not a bad thing as I don’t need the default SPI but what would the correct way to keep both SPI and define mine as the default one?
