I'm going to put a spring cloud gateway in front of some existing web applications which are already using keycloak as their identity provider and I want to authenticate the incoming requests inside the gateway. currently, each web application is already configured with the proper client-id and it redirects to the keycloak with the proper values. now, the gateway must do the authorization-code flow instead of each application, so it has to know in advance which client-is is for which requested url. so, I was investigating how to implement it and I'm still here without any proper solution. what is the solution for it? or, is it really a gateway responsibility to do that?

Actually, I found a solution however I'm not sure whether it's the best one.
@Bean
public SecurityWebFilterChain securityWebFilterChain(ServerHttpSecurity http) {
http
.authorizeExchange().pathMatchers("/actuator/**").permitAll().and()
.authorizeExchange().anyExchange().authenticated().and().csrf().disable().oauth2Login()
.and()
.exceptionHandling().authenticationEntryPoint(createEntryPoints())
.and()
.oauth2ResourceServer().jwt()
.jwtAuthenticationConverter(grantedAuthoritiesExtractor());
return http.build();
}
public ServerAuthenticationEntryPoint createEntryPoints() {
List<DelegateEntry> entryPoints = new ArrayList<>();
entryPoints
.add(new DelegateEntry(ServerWebExchangeMatchers.pathMatchers("/app1"),
new RedirectServerAuthenticationEntryPoint("/oauth2/authorization/client1")));
//other clients will be added here
DelegatingServerAuthenticationEntryPoint defaultEntryPoint = new DelegatingServerAuthenticationEntryPoint(
entryPoints);
defaultEntryPoint.setDefaultEntryPoint(new HttpStatusServerEntryPoint(HttpStatus.UNAUTHORIZED));
return defaultEntryPoint;
}
so the client1 will be used for the /app1 and so on. as i said earlier i'm not sure and there might be better solution for that.

You can have a look to this answer:
How to create Spring Cloud gateway filter to add client-credentials access token?
In order to support different client-ids (secrets, token-uris and so on), you can just define multiple configurations in the spring.security.oauth2.client .registration section and make the clientid dynamic in the Oauth2ClientGatewayFilter class:
String clientId = ...
OAuth2AuthorizeRequest oAuth2AuthorizeRequest = OAuth2AuthorizeRequest.withClientRegistrationId(clientId)
.principal("myPrincipal").build();
