[I] `KeycloakAuthManager` constructs invalid double-slash URLs when `server_url` has trailing slash (breaking Keycloak 26.4+) [airflow]
ddovbii opened a new issue, #61121:
URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/issues/61121
### Apache Airflow version
3.1.6
### If "Other Airflow 3 version" selected, which one?
_No response_
### What happened?
There is an architectural inconsistency in how the `KeycloakAuthManager` handles the `server_url` configuration, leading to a conflict when using Keycloak on a sub-path (e.g., `KC_HTTP_RELATIVE_PATH=/auth`).
The provider accesses Keycloak in two different ways using the same `server_url` config:
1. **Via `python-keycloak` library:** This library uses `urllib` logic. If Keycloak is hosted at `.../auth`, the library **requires a trailing slash** (`.../auth/`) in the `server_url`. Without it, the library interprets the last segment (`auth`) as a file and strips it during path resolution (e.g., resulting in `.../realms/...` instead of `.../auth/realms/...`).
2. **Via manual construction (`_get_token_url`):** The provider manually builds the token endpoint string:
```python
return f"{server_url}/realms/{realm}/protocol/openid-connect/token"
```
**The Conflict:**
To satisfy `python-keycloak`, the user [must ](https://github.com/marcospereirampj/python-keycloak/blob/master/docs/source/modules/openid_client.rst#configure-client-openid) configure `server_url` with a trailing slash (`.../auth/`). However, the manual concatenation in `_get_token_url` naively appends to this, resulting in a double-slash:
`https://my-host.com/auth//realms/myrealm/...`
**The Impact:**
While older Keycloak versions normalized this path, **Keycloak 26.4.4+** (specifically `RejectNonNormalizedPathFilter`) strictly [rejects](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/commit/0f01444543cf5e755b13a62c233a5c9feef72888) non-normalized paths with **HTTP 400** and the error:
`{"error":"missingNormalization","error_description":"Request path not normalized"}`
This leaves the user in a deadlock: removing the slash breaks the library; keeping the slash breaks the manual token check.
### What you think should happen instead?
- The `KeycloakAuthManager` should be consistent and robust in how it handles the `server_url`.
- The provider should normalize the `server_url` before performing manual string concatenation. Specifically, in `_get_token_url` (and similar methods), it should strip any trailing slash to prevent the double-slash issue:
- aleternatevily, refactor the provider to use the `python-keycloak` client for token acquisition instead of manually constructing the URL, ensuring unified logic for path resolution.
### How to reproduce
1. Deploy Keycloak (version 26.4.4 or newer) with `KC_HTTP_RELATIVE_PATH=/auth`.
2. Configure the Airflow Keycloak provider with:
* `server_url`: `https://<keycloak-host>/auth/` (trailing slash required for `python-keycloak`).
3. Trigger an action that requires `KeycloakAuthManager` to fetch a token.
4. Observe the failure:
* **Airflow Logs:** Token fetch fails.
* **Keycloak Logs:** Returns HTTP 400 `missingNormalization`.
