[keycloak-dev] Feature request: Include user (attributes) in FreeMarkerEmailProvider

[Johan Heylen]

Hello,

I have a feature request regarding some emails being sent out, like the
password-reset mail. It currently looks like this:

Your administrator has just requested that you update your <realm> account.
Click on the link below to start this process.

<link>

This link will expire within <expiration> minutes.

If you are unaware that your admin has requested this, just ignore this
message and nothing will be changed.

I would like to include the username, and the user full name, and have
already figured out how to do this by updating the messages file and the
*.ftl files in the email theme.

But the list of attributes to be used is limited to what is provide through
the implementation, and I would like to have it include the user as well.
Either a few properties of the user or the full user resource, so I can use
any field of the user.

I know I can fix it by writing a custom module and loading it into my
keycloak, overruling the default provider, with a one-liner:

attributes.put("username", user.getUsername());

or

attributes.put("user", user);

but rather like to see this as the default behaviour, as this would
increase the options of message customisation for everyone

What do you guys think? Worthy of a JIRA ticket?

I can organise a pull request if you need it.


Kind regards,

Johan Heylen
