After noticing the 403 error for those pages, I comment out

.antMatchers("/management/**").hasAuthority(AuthoritiesConstants.ADMIN)

in the SecurityConfiguration. All data shows up with an exception of Health after the change.

So, the ROLE_ADMIN DB hack works in some situations, but not others. Why?

This issue is stale because it has been open 30 days with no activity. Our core developers tend to be more verbose on denying. If there is no negative comment, possibly this feature will be accepted. We are accepting PRs :smiley:. Comment or this will be closed in 7 days

I haven't seen this issue so I need to try and reproduce.

[vw98075]

The OAuth2 client app still needs the administration section for admin users. It can be ported from a regular JHipster app with a few changes. For user management, we only make the Profiles/user role field editable due to lacking authorization support on the OAuth server.

I just created a screencast today of this blog post and the administration screen worked fine for me. I tested on Keycloak and Auth0.

I did not try your JDL, but I can do that when I get back from vacation in January.

[vw98075]

Good to know your article. Did you have the administration section right out of the generator? If so, which version did you use? I used the 7.3.0 and didn't get the administration section (both front end and back end code) at all. And after porting the code from a non-OAuth app over, I don't have the health check data. The OAuth2 server isn't Keycloak. I don't know whether that is the cause of the problem or not,

@vw98075 To add in front-end the admin pages you need to launch jhipster with --with-admin-ui flag

This has been introduced in v7 (see https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster/pull/12738)

[vw98075]

@DanielFran I think you misunderstood the issue. It is not about whether the admin UI is generated or not, but some sections of the admin UI are missing.

This issue is stale because it has been open for too long without any activity. Due to the moving nature of jhipster generated application, bugs can become invalid. If this issue still applies please comment otherwise it will be closed in 7 days
