Re: [keycloak-dev] Proposal of using existing authentication and authorization server on behalf of keycloak browser-based authentication

We do NOT intend to propose a "custom"(customer specific) brokering protocol, are proposing a simplified brokering procedure for an external authentication server without implementing OIDC/SAML. This is useful for users who have their existing authentication server. They had to implement OIDC/SAML(very hard) or had to design and implement another procedure(is also not easy). By the proposal, they can integrate their authentication server easily. For example, UMA standard for authorization service is proposed, but seems to be complicated, so keycloak has simplified procedure(entitlement API). Feature is different but situation is the same (simplified OIDC/SAML). ---------- From: Stian Thorgersen [mailto:sthorger@redhat.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 15, 2017 4:49 PM To: 乗松隆志 / NORIMATSU，TAKASHI Cc: keycloak-dev(a)lists.jboss.org Subject: [!]Re: Re: [keycloak-dev] Proposal of using existing authentication and authorization server on behalf of keycloak browser-based authentication Afraid I still don't understand what you are trying to contribute to Keycloak. As I said we already allow creating custom identity providers using whatever protocol you want. We can't accept contribution of a custom identity provider which is seems is what you are trying to contribute.

This contribution to keycloak is that to enhance competitiveness with proprietary products. In some market, customers have highly customized Web UI for authentication. (e.g. soft keyboard, responsive web design, very sophisticated look and feel). They want to use Authorization server product (such as keycloak) implementing OpenID Connect for securing the customer's API. They want to use existing highly customized authentication server, but do not want to implement OpenID Connect on this authentication server (too much complex and difficult to implement). To meet such needs, proprietary products have the following solution. Proprietary authorization server products have their own procedure (much simpler than OpenID Connect and SAMLv2) to communicate with existing authentication server as below: https://communities.ca.com/blogs/oauth/2016/10/04/howto-integrating-otk-w... https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSMNED_5.0.0/com.ibm.apic.... In customer's existing authentication server, customers only have to implement communication with the authorization server according to the procedure prepared by the authorization server product (It is much easier than implementing OpenID Connect or SAMLv2). Customers do not have to implement anything in authorization server side. On the other hand, if keycloak is used, customers have to do following: a) In authorization server (RH SSO), simple procedure to communicate with external authentication server have to be designed and implemented using SPI. b) In customer's existing authentication server, implement procedure prepared by a). -> In proprietary products, a) is prepared, but keycloak is not. Our proposed patch is intended to complement a). --- From: Stian Thorgersen [mailto:sthorger@redhat.com] Sent: Monday, August 14, 2017 7:57 PM To: 乗松隆志 / NORIMATSU，TAKASHI Cc: keycloak-dev(a)lists.jboss.org Subject: [!]Re: [keycloak-dev] Proposal of using existing authentication and authorization server on behalf of keycloak browser-based authentication I'm not really following what you are proposing to contribute to Keycloak. We already have the SPI that allows adding a custom provider if your IdP doesn't support SAML or OpenID Connect.

Previously, I had proposed the feature and its implementation of delegating authentication and authorization to an external existing server on behalf of keycloak's browser-based authentication mechanism, and had gotten advices that it is appropriate to use Identity Brokering for such the feature.

The description and implementation of this feature is mentioned below. https://github.com/Hitachi/PoV-keycloak-delegate-authn-consent https://github.com/Hitachi/PoV-keycloak-delegate-authn-consent/tree/maste...

If it's using redirect based authentication flows it should be done through identity brokering, not authentication flows. It's also a very complex example that we don't want to maintain. We've also in the process of moving all examples away from the main Keycloak repository into a separate quickstart repository.

I've integrated this feature to keycloak's "examples" packages and send PR (https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/pull/4260). Hope this PR is reviewed and merged as an example for combining some providers to customize keycloak. Detailed description of this feature is mentioned below. https://github.com/Hitachi/PoV-keycloak-authentication-delegation I am now engaging in integrating this feature to keycloak as product-base default providers, but encounter technical problems about writing arquillian. Would someone tell me how to resolve this problem? [Problem] - I could not find how to run an external authentication server(application running on wildfly 10) during each arquillian test cases. After resolving this problem and writing and running arquillian test cases, I'll send PR for this feature as product-base default providers.
