Re: [keycloak-dev] UserFederationProvider with non-trivial configuration

Bill, Thanks for the quick response. I do think it would be very useful for us if the federation provider configuration were more verbose. I saw where some work was done recently on this (PR-1973 <https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/pull/1973>) to allow for better customization on labels and help texts and such. Extending the REST endpoints for configuration could potentially be useful as well. We're using certificate files for a portion of our configuration, so we'd actually need to store the file objects in the DB, as opposed to just parsing configuration files. Totally understand about feature freeze. Let me know what I can do to help, I'm still getting my feet wet with Keycloak, but don't mind jumping in when necessary.

Unfortunately, the UserFederationProvider only supports name/value pairs for configuration and a max size for Value of 255 characters. I can expand the SPI to allow you to plug ina backend REST service that would allow you to parse the file and add the appropriate config, but at this time, we can't really provide a brand new config model for UserFederation as this is supposed to be feature freeze right now.
