[keycloak-user] JPA Authentication Provider

[Marek Posolda]

Hi Josh,

yes, it's possible to create your own JPA authentication provider, which 
will use hibernate model of your own application and authenticate users 
based on your user data. I hope I understand correctly that this is 
something you are trying achieve?

For declare own datasource, it's easiest to add datasource into file 
JBOSS_HOME/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml (look at 
JBoss/Wildfly documentation and/or existing datasource declarations how 
to do it) and then either create new file META-INF/persistence.xml 
inside your JAR and/or extend existing keycloak file 
JBOSS_HOME/standalone/deployments/auth-server.war/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml 
and declare your own persistence unit, which will point to the 
datasource declared in standalone.xml . Again look at docs or existing 
persistence units for inspiration. Finally in code of your provider, you 
can do something like:

EntityManagerFactory emf =Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("name-of-your-persistence-unit");

You can take a look at existing Keycloak sources for inspiration.
