Slow Direct Grants API endpoint
by Daniel Baxter
Hi,
I am attempting to integrate Keycloak into an existing application to replace the homegrown user management system in place. We have a new project built from the ground up on Keycloak 1.0.4.Final which is exhibiting good performance. However this app that I am porting has a remoting component that connects to the server with bare username/password credentials over the EJB Remoting framework. I was hoping to use 1.1.0 (currently Beta2) which provides a DirectAccessGrantsLoginModule which does exactly what I want (turns username and password into a KeycloakPrincipal). However, the turn around time from Keycloak is on the order of several seconds.
I have used a bare REST client to execute the POSTs to both our 1.0.4 Keycloak and 1.1.0 Keycloak instances and have noted an order of magnitude difference in getting a response. Is this a known issue (I cannot find anything in the public bugs/tasks list)? Or is this due to the Beta status leaving additional performance affecting logging or instrumentation in place?
Thanks,
Daniel

Facing Issue with Resource Server in Clustered Environment
by Bappaditya Gorai (bgorai)
Hi Team,
Please find the details on setup and observation below. Please provide your suggestion on how to overcome this issue. We are using Keycloak 1.0.4.Final (Adapter & Server).
Setup:
1. We have brought up Jboss cluster ( Using mod_cluster, httpd ) with 2 nodes in domain mode and enabled session replication between these nodes.
2. Our Recourse server is deployed in this clustered environment with distributable and Sticky session Off.
Behavior observed :
During the Authorization/Authentication process ,when Initial call(Resource Access) lands on master and next redirection (post Code To token) falls on slave Adapter is treating it as a new session and redirecting to login URL again. So we ended up with circular redirection error. After further investigation seems like session replication delay is causing adapter to behave this way. As the redirection call happens very quickly and this results in circular redirection error.
NOTE: Sticky Session in mod_cluster environment solves the issue but it does not provide true load balancing. Therefore we are not considering Stick session option.
Thanks

Building Keycloak from master
by Guy Davis
Good day,
I've been able to get the 1.1.0.Beta2 distribution running inside my JBoss
EAP 6.1alpha with the JBoss 7 adapter. However, I would like to try the
latest work related to identity brokering by building the master branch. I
couldn't find build instructions in the master checkout from Git, so tried
the following generic steps:
1. mvn compile --> Succeeded
2. mvn package --> Failed with test errors.
It would be great if you could point me to the steps to build master into a
distribution that I could then deploy into my local JBoss. I'm very much
looking forward to trying out the latest work.
Thanks much,
Guy

I totaly understand that.
You have currently the following actions:
OAUTH_GRANT,
CODE_TO_TOKEN,
VERIFY_EMAIL,
UPDATE_PROFILE,
CONFIGURE_TOTP,
UPDATE_PASSWORD,
RECOVER_PASSWORD,
AUTHENTICATE,
SOCIAL_CALLBACK
And it doesn't make sense to have a different conffiguration for every one...
But maybe we can group it into different groups?

For your use-case would it have to be Kerberos? Only options we've been considering are certificates and jwt/jws.

That sounds good, what do the other think about this fallback option?
I can update the JIRA issue if anybody is happy with that solution.
I'm happy with the idea of setting a session cookie so we can detect if a user is using the same browser to complete the flow. However, I don't think we should redirect back to the application.
In this case the user most likely wants to use a different browser for the application. For example a user uses Firefox to open the application, click on recover password, but then due to company policies IE is registered as the default OS browser so links in emails are opened in IE instead. In this case the user wants to close IE after resetting the password and go back to Firefox to use the application.
In the case the user is completing the password reset flow in a different browser it would be better to update the password, make sure no identity cookie or user session is created in the new browser, then just display a message "Your password has been updated".
Why do you want to make sure that no identity cookie is generated?
Wouldn't it be nice to generate the cookie and display a message to the user with a link to the desired redirect uri?
So, the user can still redirect to the uri without a login?
I read that you want to release 1.1.0 Final in the next view days. So I guess this bug/feature will be implemented in 1.2.0?

Direct links to pages
by Christian Beikov
Hello!
Quick question. Is there a way to directly link to the registration or
login page from a different page?
I tried the following but only get "Bad request" when submitting the form.
Registration:
/auth/realms/{realm-name}/tokens/registrations?redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8080%2Fprotected&client_id=protected
Login:
/auth/realms/{realm-name}/tokens/login?redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8080%2Fprotected&client_id=protected

We might do a beta soon, but that'll only include identity brokering. The other features will be at least a month away.

Some time this year we aim to have system accounts with certificates, it'll depend on priorities. We don't have any plans to support Kerberos authentication with system accounts, but maybe that makes sense to add as well.

Follow-up blog posts for 1.1.0.Final release
by Stian Thorgersen
Over the next few weeks we should do follow-up blog posts on the major new features in 1.1, which would be:
* SAML 2.0
* Clustering (Stian)
* Adapter clustering (Marek)
* New adapters
* HTTP Security Proxy
* Automatic migration of db schema (Stian)
Any volunteers for those without a name already associated with them?
