Notes on KEYCLOAK-795: Move Auth Server into KC subsystem
by Stan Silvert
I've sent a PR for this:
https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/pull/811
It's a pretty big change in the way the Auth Server is started when the
KeyCloak subsystem is used. The WAR is no longer dropped into the
standalone/deployments directory. This is especially helpful for
domain deployments, but it makes standalone cleaner as well. It will
also be important for Feature Pack installation.
The main difference you will see right away with this PR is that the
appliance dist now uses the subsystem to launch the Auth Server.
Here are some notes about how everything turned out. Next, I'll update
the documentation if there is no major rework that needs to be done
after the PR is reviewed.
* The WAR for the auth server now lives in
modules/.../keycloak-wildfly-subsystem/main/auth-server. By
default, it is unexploded. If you want it to be exploded you can
unzip it into that same directory and set the "auth-server-exploded"
property in module.xml.
* A new Auth Server is declared in standalone.xml/domain.xml. You can
have more than one Auth Server in the same WildFly instance.
* <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:keycloak:1.0">
<auth-server name="main-auth-server">
<enabled>true</enabled>
<web-context>auth</web-context>
</auth-server>
* The "enabled" attribute can be toggled at runtime to make the auth
server undeploy/redeploy.
* If you have more than one auth-server, the web-context must be unique.
* In a domain environment, all specified Auth Server deployments are
propagated to all servers using that profile. The same is true for
overlays uploaded through the new CLI operations.
* There are two new CLI operations that act on an auth-server. They
are "add-provider" and "update-server-config". Currently, you can
only execute these operations in the latest version of CLI GUI. We
should discuss if we need to add support in plain CLI. The long
term goal would be to add this functionality to the Keycloak Admin
Console.
* "add-provider" adds a provider jar to an auth-server
* "update-server-config" overlays the keycloak-server.json for an
auth-server.
* If a keycloak-server.json file is found in standalone/configuration
directory, all auth-server instances will still use it regardless of
any update-server-config operations.
* EAP6 does not yet support all this. We should discuss whether or
not this functionality should be backported.

Keycloak integration with Red Hat Directory server
by Snhp
Hi Team,
I tired connecting to red hat directory server from key cloak admin console users>federations and when I click test connection , connection was successful
ldap://xx:xx:xx:xx/
But I tried the same configuration to connect to red hat idm server through Picketlink API identityconfigurationmanagement class .. It doesn't work ...
Can someone share some examples

Support both Jackson and Jackson 2
by Stian Thorgersen
Currently we only support Jackson, while WildFly now uses Jackson 2. This is OK for our the auth-server itself, but could be more problematic for applications (see https://issues.jboss.org/browse/KEYCLOAK-811).
The main reason we can't use Jackson 2 is that they have changed the package for annotations (@JsonProperty). I propose we get rid of all @JsonProperty and instead make sure all fields are named correct and that we set the LowerCaseWithUnderscoresStrategy on the ObjectMapper. This should also make it possible to use the Java classes with other JSON libraries.
For example:
@JsonProperty("access_token")
protected String token;
@JsonProperty("jti")
protected String id;
Becomes:
protected String accessToken;
protected String jti;

Next steps
by Stian Thorgersen
Just to clarify next steps is BRMS and Fuse adapters. I assume we're aiming at securing the management consoles, services as well as end-user applications.
For Fuse this would include:
* Hawtio console
* Fuse CLI
* Camel?
* ActiveMQ?
Once Fuse is completed we could also look at securing Fabric8.
I've made some notes here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rnoM7ityp7u_QVcVb4amY1o-9xojGQsS3wkTs...
As I'm away on PTO Friday and the following week Marek will look at Fuse adapter, while I'll help out if it makes sense.

Need your help community
by Bill Burke
If you're using Keycloak and you like it, help us out by writing a blog
about it. Anything would be great. A few sentences saying that you're
uing keycloak and like it. Or, if you're ambitious, give us something
more detailed on how you are deploying keycloak in your company. I
would love to read some user stories just to get insight on how people
are using us! Let me know if anybody does this and I'll link you from
my blog.
Thanks,
Bill

AS 7.1.1 still not working
by Marek Posolda
Right now, to have KC working on AS 7.1.1 we need to:
1) Comment "exclude-subsystems" element from
standalone/deployments/auth-server.war/WEB-INF/jboss-deployment-structure.xml
2) Comment "webservices" subsystem and extension in
standalone/configuration/standalone.xml
Should we just document this workaround or can we do something better?

Re: [keycloak-dev] Keycloak Intergration
by Corinne Krych
Hello
We don’t currently offer integration with well known http libs. We'll be interesting in providing adapter for Alamofire or (a Swift version of AFNetworking, very much in progress). Here’s a ticket to track it [1].
Actually to integrate with http layer you need to have a AuthzModule protocol [2] and to provide a seamless integration of Oauth2 within your http layer you should do something like [3] using extension request.
Do not hesitate to share with us if you decide to do other adapters.

KC Auth Server Subsystem questions
by Bill Burke
* What are the benefits of it. Specifically. I'll need to state this
in the release blog.
* Where is the documentation for it? Benefits, how to configure,
manage? How to add new providers? Modify keycloak-server.json, etc...
This can't be released or brought into the appliance until it is
documented thoroughly.
