To resolve this issue, you can: 1) Check if the API keys are correctly configured and active, 2) If the keys are expired, generate new ones, 3) If the keys are deleted, recreate them, 4) Ensure the correct realm and username are being used.

            findApiKeysForUserAndRealm(userName; realmName; false; false; ActionListener.wrap(apiKeyInfos -> {
                    if (apiKeyInfos.isEmpty()) {
                        logger.warn("No active api keys found for realm [{}] and username [{}]"; realmName; userName);
                        listener.onResponse(GetApiKeyResponse.emptyResponse());
                    } else {
                        listener.onResponse(new GetApiKeyResponse(apiKeyInfos));
                    }
