OIDC - NullPointerException

[beniaminp]

Hello!

I am using quarkus:2.9.2.Final and configured oidc with the following properties:

quarkus.oidc.enabled=true
quarkus.oidc.discovery-enabled=false
quarkus.oidc.authentication.user-info-required=true
quarkus.oidc.roles.role-claim-path=roles
quarkus.oidc.proxy.host=my-proxy-host
quarkus.oidc.proxy.port=my-proxy-port
quarkus.oidc.auth-server-url=my-server-url
quarkus.oidc.client-id=my-client-id
quarkus.oidc.credentials.secret=my-client-secret
quarkus.oidc.token-path=/oauth/token
quarkus.oidc.authorization-path=/oauth/authorize
quarkus.oidc.introspection-path=/introspect
quarkus.oidc.user-info-path=/userinfo
quarkus.oidc.authentication.response_type=token
quarkus.oidc.authentication.add-openid-scope=false
quarkus.log.min-level=DEBUG
quarkus.log.category."io.quarkus.oidc".level=DEBUG

with all the variables for url, client and secret configured.

When I am trying to start it I get the following error:

- ERROR [io.qua.run.Application] (Quarkus Main Thread) Failed to start application (with profile dev): java.lang.NullPointerException

I do not event know where to start to investigate it. One thing that I noticed was that if I disabled the oidc, the application starts without error (if I set quarkus.oidc.enabled=false)

And clue from where to start?

Thank you!

@beniaminp Hi, does it start in JVM mode, with java -jar target/quarkus-app/quarkus-run.jar ?

[sberyozkin]

@mkouba Hi Martin, can you please check the above stacktrace, may be you can spot something, the trace includes https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/blob/2.9.2.Final/extensions/oidc/runtime/src/main/java/io/quarkus/oidc/runtime/OidcRecorder.java#L225 which goes to https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/blob/2.9.2.Final/extensions/oidc/runtime/src/main/java/io/quarkus/oidc/runtime/DefaultTenantConfigResolver.java#L164

[beniaminp]

@sberyozkin I am using the idea intelij quarkus plugin to start it. Thanks!

[sberyozkin]

@beniaminp I'd like to understand if it is specific to dev mode or not, since there is Failed to start application (with profile dev):...

So please try to build the application from the command line and check if it starts in the prod profile. Or create a reproducer - it is hard to advise anything meaningful otherwise

[beniaminp]

Hi @sberyozkin. It is happening in debug mode. Unfortunately I cannot reproduce it in a simple project, it is happening on a project with closed sources and in dev mode. After some debugging, I am getting the following exception: Error injecting boolean io.quarkus.oidc.runtime.DefaultTenantConfigResolver.enableHttpForwardedPrefix and same NullPointerException. I have set the enableHttpForwardedPrefix to true / false but there is no difference, the same error.

I will run it in production mode and let you know how is going.

Thank you!

[beniaminp]

It looks like that in the prod mode I am having the same issue. If I disable the oidc everything works (except the authentication / authorization)

Thanks!

I don't see anything special. The NPE comes from the DefaultTenantConfigResolver_Bean.create() which looks like:

[sberyozkin]

Thanks @beniaminp @mkouba

@beniaminp I honestly don't know how I can help without a reproducer. Can you create a HelloWorld endpoint protected with quarkus-oidc with the same configuration ?

[beniaminp]

Hey @sberyozkin . I tried in a new project with the same settings and it apparently work. Probably is something about my specific project (it is quite big). I am trying to debug it and to find the root cause of NPE. I will update here all the progress, maybe it can help.

Thanks!

[sberyozkin]

@beniaminp Sounds good, thanks, yes, please try to narrow down

[beniaminp]

Hey @sberyozkin. I upgraded to java16 an run with -XX:+ShowCodeDetailsInExceptionMessages and I got an explanation for the NPE. Does this mean something for you? (Quarkus Main Thread) Failed to start application (with profile dev): java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.lang.Boolean.booleanValue()" because "<local6>" is null

I think that it is related to quarkus.http.proxy.enable-forwarded-prefix=false, but I am not 100% sure. Also, I cannot find the DefaultTenantConfigResolver_Bean.create() in quarkus repo.

Thanks!

[mkouba]

Also, I cannot find the DefaultTenantConfigResolver_Bean.create() in quarkus repo.

It should be located in target/quarkus-app/quarkus/generated-bytecode.jar...

[beniaminp]

Thanks @mkouba !

Also, when the Arc container is trying to get the DefaultTenantConfigResolver it has an error: Method threw 'java.lang.RuntimeException' exception. Cannot evaluate io.quarkus.oidc.runtime.DefaultTenantConfigResolver_ClientProxy.toString(), on OidcRecorder.setSecurityEventObserved for call: DefaultTenantConfigResolver bean = Arc.container().instance(DefaultTenantConfigResolver.class).get(); and when it is trying to set the security event observed I get : Error injecting boolean io.quarkus.oidc.runtime.DefaultTenantConfigResolver.enableHttpForwardedPrefix.

Maybe you can see the problem faster then me :).

Thanks!

[beniaminp]

The problem looks to be in public DefaultTenantConfigResolver create(final CreationalContext creationalContext) at:

final DefaultTenantConfigResolver defaultTenantConfigResolver = new DefaultTenantConfigResolver(); try { final InjectableReferenceProvider value = this.injectProviderSupplier1.get(); defaultTenantConfigResolver.enableHttpForwardedPrefix = (boolean) value .get((CreationalContext) CreationalContextImpl.child((InjectableReferenceProvider) value, creationalContext)); } catch (RuntimeException ex) { throw new RuntimeException( "Error injecting boolean io.quarkus.oidc.runtime.DefaultTenantConfigResolver.enableHttpForwardedPrefix", ex); }

Somehow enableHttpForwardedPrefix cannot be injected and value .get((CreationalContext) CreationalContextImpl.child((InjectableReferenceProvider) value, creationalContext))

cannot be converted to boolean because some <local6> is null

[mkouba]

<local6> is null probaby means that there is a constructor which accepts a boolean parameter but a null argument is passed instead (i.e. autoboxing fails).

[mkouba]

@beniaminp just out of curiosity, could you try to replace @ConfigProperty(name = "quarkus.http.proxy.enable-forwarded-prefix") boolean enableHttpForwardedPrefix with @Inject HttpConfiguration httpConfig and httpConfig.proxy.enableForwardedPrefix?

[mkouba]

@sberyozkin I think that io.quarkus.oidc.deployment.OidcBuildStep.findSecurityEventObservers() should consume the RuntimeConfigSetupCompleteBuildItem to ensure the runtime config is set up (because DefaultTenantConfigResolver.enableHttpForwardedPrefix is a runtime config property). I'll send a PR shortly.

[sberyozkin]

Thanks, I can replace it as Martin suggested if it can help to fix it

[mkouba]

Thanks, I can replace it as Martin suggested if it can help to fix it

Actually, I don't think this would help. Testing my fix for https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus/issues/26236#issuecomment-1163174888 right now...

[beniaminp]

I tested the change and unfortunately it did not work, I get the same error. The only way to pass above this step was to do some temporary changes in DefaultTenantConfigResolver: @Inject @ConfigProperty(name = "quarkus.http.proxy.enable-forwarded-prefix", defaultValue = "false") Optional<Boolean> enableHttpForwardedPrefix;

and boolean isEnableHttpForwardedPrefix() { return enableHttpForwardedPrefix.orElse(false); }

I am not sure why it cannot find the ConfigProperty yet.

Thanks!

[mkouba]

I tested the change and unfortunately it did not work, I get the same error.

That's not good :-(.

We really need a reproducer. @beniaminp What extensions does your app use?

[beniaminp]

I tried to reproduce it on an empty project, but everything works fine. In this project, I am migrating an old java ee project to quarkus. We did all the changes in order for quarkus to run and this is the only thing that is not working. If I disable the oidc, everything works fine. I did the changes on quarkus-oidc runtime on DefaultTenantConfigResolver and now it is working, but I have to check if it still takes into account the enableHttpForwardedPrefix property, because my guess is that it will always be false.

[mkouba]

I tried to reproduce it on an empty project, but everything works fine.

That's unfortunate. I'm afraid we can't do more without a reproducer...

I did the changes on quarkus-oidc runtime on DefaultTenantConfigResolver and now it is working, but I have to check if it still takes into account the enableHttpForwardedPrefix property, because my guess is that it will always be false.

Yes, you would have to use programmatic lookup and lazy injection, i.e. something like @ConfigProperty(name = "quarkus.http.proxy.enable-forwarded-prefix") Instance<Boolean> enableHttpForwardedPrefix and then enableHttpForwardedPrefix.get().

[beniaminp]

We finally manage to find the problem. After we remove the dependency: `

org.eclipse.microprofile.config

        <artifactId>microprofile-config-api</artifactId>
        <version>3.0.1</version>

` we got no more NPE.

It looks like quarkus does not play nice with it. At least, now we know :).

[mkouba]

Ah, that's some good news! Yes, quarkus is using org.eclipse.microprofile.config:microprofile-config-api:2.0.1 and you should not bring any MP dependencies manually but rely on the versions included by quarkus extensions instead.
