Hi,

I've set up Keycloak using the operator, and successfully integrated it with FreeIPA and Kerberos. I can SPNEGO, or authenticate using a password.

I'm trying to set up webauthn. I am using Firefox on Android for testing. I can register a "passwordless security key", but not matter what I do, when I click "sign in with security key", I am not prompted for my fingerprint and get "failed to authenticate by the security key".

The Keycloak logs print:

2022-06-25 15:38:11,811 WARN  [org.keycloak.authentication.authenticators.browser.WebAuthnAuthenticator] (executor-thread-53) error returned from navigator.credentials.get(). NotAllowedError: The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission.
2022-06-25 15:38:11,813 WARN  [org.keycloak.events] (executor-thread-53) type=LOGIN_ERROR, realmId=ccd500fd-8bfa-4a1f-8d3c-95bd7b544efa, clientId=account-console, userId=null, ipAddress=10.42.42.1, error=not_allowed, credential_type=webauthn-passwordless, auth_method=openid-connect, auth_type=code, web_authn_authentication_error=webauthn-error-api-get, redirect_uri=https://keycloak-test.pdp7.net/realms/master/account/#/, code_id=d4a57d8f-749f-4d44-8474-61da451795ee, web_authn_authentication_error_detail='NotAllowedError: The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission.', authSessionParentId=d4a57d8f-749f-4d44-8474-61da451795ee, authSessionTabId=7UKPSmcP0OA

I have managed to use webauthn in other demo sites.

In "webauthn passwordless policy" I have "require resident key" as "yes", and "user verification requirement" as "required".

Cheers,

Álex
