Hi!

I am using Keycloak 3.4.3.Final. I am trying to get the ID of the user using getId() method of the class org.keycloak.representations.IDToken in my Java application, when the user is authenticated. The ID I am referring to is the ID field shown in the screen shot below.

I tried the getId() method. The getId() method does not return this ID value in the screenshot below. I believe the getId() returns the JWS Token value.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Nick

Hello Nick,

First of all, the version of Keycloak you are using is really old, consider switching to the newest one.

Based on this: https://www.appsdeveloperblog.com/get-userid-from-keycloak-jwt-access-token/ you should be able to obtain user id from subject key.
