HI all,

has somebody of you already managed to identify from keycloak the original client IP address?

In local I’ve configured my standalone.xml keycloak (11) like this by adding, according to documentation:

proxy-address-forwarding=“true”

But I can’t grab an ip address from http request!

perhaps I found!

it could be something like

session.getContext().getConnection().getRemoteAddr()
