Yeah, the new MSAD mapper added in 1.8 should help you with this. Once the user has in
MSAD userAccountControl of 514, he will be marked as disabled in Keycloak. Then when you
enable it in Keycloak, it should be propagated to MSAD and user will be put in MSAD to
512. Hope it will work for you.
Thanks but I’m afraid it does not work for us. I am using Keycloak 1.8.0.CR1 now. When I
disable the user in MSAD I see the userAccountControl attribute change to 514, however
this is not reflected in Keycloak. Not even when I force a resync of all users.
I will see if I can do some debugging and create a JIRA issue for you.

Not sure about password history issue.
Will wait for your feedback. Hope we can sort your issues.

Hi Marek,
Sorry, I overlooked you mentioning that you added this in Keycloak 1.8 while we are still
on Keycloak 1.7.. I will upgrade and let you know a.s.a.p!
Thanks again for your help.

Hi all,
We use Keycloak’s user federation to integrate with a (Windows 2012) Active Directory (AD)
server. We want to store all users and groups in AD and also want to manage the password
policies from AD so we do not have any password policies in Keycloak set up. We also want
to use Keycloak for all user management functionality. We have set up the password
policies in AD at the domain level where we connect to from Keycloak.
Our password policies in AD are as follows:
- password complexity (min length + special chars)
- account lock out after 3 attempts
- password history (not allowed to use previous 5 passwords)
Users and admins can set and change passwords in AD from Keycloak fine. However the
password policies do not quite do what we want them to:
- Password complexity policy seems to work fine.
- Account is indeed locked in AD after three failed attempts. However the ‘Unlock users’
functionality in Keycloak does not unlock the users in AD. Users can only be unlocked in
AD itself it seems. We would like to be able to do this from Keycloak however (and really
per user and not for all users in one go). Should this work in Keycloak or is this a new
feature request?
Is the fact that user is locked tracked in your MSAD through userAccountControl
attribute?
Yes it is. I see this working when I look at a normal LDAP browser connected to MSAD. When
I disable a user in MSAD I see the userAccountControl attribute change from 512 to 514.
In the Keycloak 1.8 I've added the MSAD UserAccountControl mapper, which allows to
integrate the MSAD account state more tightly into Keycloak state. For example enable user
in Keycloak admin console will remove the ACCOUNTDISABLE flag from userAccountControl
value in MSAD as well and hence enable this user in MSAD too.
This sounds good, however unfortunately we do not see this happening. When I disable the
user in Keycloak the userAccountControl attribute does not change at all so the
propagation to MSAD does not seem to work here.
We have indeed configured the user federation in Keycloak to WRITABLE LDAP and all other
user attributes (like user name etc) are propagated from Keycloak to MSAD just fine.
I will create a JIRA issue so that I can send you some more details.
However support for lock/unlock is not included in the mapper though. So feel free to
create JIRA.
Ok, will do.
Until it's implemented, you can possibly use adminEvent listener (There is admin event
triggered when you click "Unlock user" in Keycloak UI. So you can listen to this
event and propagate the call to MSAD once you successfully enable it)
- The password history policy does not seem to work at all. Users can currently set their
password to a previous password without a problem. Does anyone have an idea why this
policy in AD does not work from Keycloak?
No idea. Keycloak is just using Directory API for change password. It's strange the
MSAD allows to change password through this API when it breaks password history policy.
Are you sure you have WRITABLE LDAP and password update from Keycloak is propagated to
MSAD?
Yes, we have writable ldap configured and indeed the password is propagated to MSAD. Maybe
it is related to the issue we see with the userAccountControl attribute.
