How to access Keycloak as admin

[abstract-thinking]

Hi @rieckpil,

starting the app worked as expected from scratch.

At the moment I have the problem to get access to the Keycloak server.

Invoking this URL works fine: http://localhost:8888/auth/realms/spring/account/#/ and redirects to this page http://localhost:8888/auth/realms/spring/login-actions/authenticate?execution=4fad4ee7-b36f-4e15-bf73-ea337ffe808f&client_id=account-console&tab_id=XSA0aw9VIAA which works fine for the user.

Adding username and keyword as given in the docker-compose file leads to the error message: Invalid username or password.

From the video I have taken this URL http://localhost:8080/auth/admin/master/console/#/realm/spring but I got a 404 Not Found.

How can I access Keycloak correct as an admin?

Thanks,
Markus

Hi @abstract-thinking,

to access the Keycloak Admin UI (please note that this is not the application), visit http://localhost:8888/auth/admin and use keycloak as username and password. Within here you don't need to configure anything, this is the administration panel of the identity provider (think login service that hosts all connected applications and the pool of users).

To access to actual application, please visit http://localhost:8080 and use the usernames/passwords provided in the central README.

Let me know if that works for you,
Philip
