We've currently got this working in Picketlink, but will need to accommodate this use case with the keycloak migration coming up in the future.

To your question of pointing the SAML website to keycloak, it is a third party's IDP.

Is this sort of thing really that uncommon? I'd imagine we're not the only ones without a definitive mapping attribute, or a many-one mapping. Anyway, are the SPI's currently in place, or are there some out there that would do the trick for this?

Thanks in advance!

I'd rather have the appropriate SPIs be extended then have this feature
native in keycloak as it seems very specific to your deployment.

BTW, why not just point the SAML website to Keycloak? Keycloak supports
SAML.
