KeyCloak - Cannot Sign In to KeyCloak as Admin - "Please provide a valid address"

[TheBrambleShark]

Hello,

After following the guide to install KeyCloak (found here), I attempted to sign into the admin console with the default credentials of admin, admin.

This took me to a page where it requested that I provide information like my email, first, and last name. Doing so, it said it sent me an email to authenticate, but I never received it.

Checking the console logs in the dashboard, I noticed the following exception:

2024-09-25T17:35:29.1966553 2024-09-25 22:35:29,196 WARN  [org.keycloak.events] (executor-thread-5) type="SEND_VERIFY_EMAIL_ERROR", realmId="b10029f6-8395-4647-9fc4-9d3e58b556cf", realmName="master", clientId="security-admin-console", userId="8f175387-7141-48da-904d-1ad28fc668f2", ipAddress="172.17.0.1", error="email_send_failed", custom_required_action="VERIFY_PROFILE", updated_first_name="...", response_type="code", updated_last_name="...", code_id="9a71361e-46bd-40b2-aa89-b646ea720fbd", response_mode="query", auth_method="openid-connect", updated_email="...", updated_username="...", previous_username="admin", context="UPDATE_PROFILE", redirect_uri="http://localhost:8080/admin/master/console/";, remember_me="false", email="...", username="admin"

(My real first, last, and email have been scrubbed and replaced with (...))

This is followed with the following stack trace:

Is there a way to either

1. Get to the KeyCloak database to manually set my email as verified or, more ideally,
2. Set KeyCloak to not require email verification in the master realm, at least until I can get in and configure SMTP?

The password is not "admin". Check the user-secrets that are configured with the apphost. You'll see this parameter key:
"Parameters:keycloak-password", this contains the password you need to login.

With the AddKeycloak method, you can also supply the password to use as a parameter. If you don't specify this, the user secret is created.

That got it, thanks!

I will see about updating the documentation to point to user secrets.
