The keycloak oauth was introduced with the pr
#13033

The steps to reproduce the bug

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

  1. Run a keycloack service using a docker container
docker run -d --name keycloak -p 8081:8080 \
    -e KEYCLOAK_ADMIN=admin -e KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin \
    quay.io/keycloak/keycloak:latest start-dev
  1. Login to the keycloak ui and create client

Example : create a client name cloudstack

  1. In CloudStack (Settings → OAuth Settings, registering the keycloak provider
Image Image
  1. Create a matching CloudStack user (username == the Keycloak test user's email).

  2. Try login with keycloak provider flow end to end > Login works fine

Issue to reproduce the bug

  1. Cause one failure attempt with keycloak oauth attempt

Rename a CloudStack username so it no longer matches an OAuth-configured account (or use an IdP account with no matching CloudStack user).

  1. Log in via the IdP with valid credentials: the code exchange succeeds (verifyOAuthCodeAndGetUser returns the correct email), but oauthlogin fails downstream because OAuth2UserAuthenticator.authenticate() can't find a matching account (userAccountDao.getUserAccount() returns null) — note this returns false before verifyUser() is ever called, so the cached token is never cleared.

  2. Do not restart the management server.

  3. Fix the mismatch, then perform a genuinely fresh IdP login (new authorization code) and retry.

  4. Issue gets resolved if the management server is restarted

What to do about it?

Expected: The new code is validated against the IdP's token endpoint independently.
Actual: The plugin never makes a second token-exchange call — it serves the result off the token cached in st
