[keycloak-dev] Feedback on Oauth Clients

I need some feedback on how to handle OAuth Clients. OAuth clients are like Applications in that Keycloak is used to log in, but OAuth clients are required to be forwarded through the OAuth Grant Page. Users must directly grant permission to the OAuth client to access stuff. OAuth clients will also not be hooked into Single Logout or the session management facilities I hope to incorporate into Keycloak. OAuth clients will also not have roles associated with them. The way google does it is that they require you to login using your Google account, then you create applications within their cloud service app. Applications get their own unique client-id and password and you then assign permissions to this application. I was thinking we should do something similar for Keycloak. For our first release, we'll have a specific Admin UI in which you can create OAuth clients in much the same way you create applications. For phase 2, I was thinking that the user account management would be expanded to have an option (if allowed by the realm) for creating and registering an OAuth client. The user would then have a client-id generated for them and they would have to set up credentials for this client-id. -- Bill Burke JBoss, a division of Red Hat http://bill.burkecentral.com
