Re-reading what you wrote, maybe I misunderstood? You want a generic
way to store and manage keycloak-server.json through admin console?
Generic config mechanism for sync you mean?
Yes.
I think sync is in two parts:
* A UserProvider. For on-demand sync.
* A "chron job" for periodic bulk sync.
Both would want generic config mechanism and realm-specific storage for
this config.
I was thinking it would be nice to have something available to all
SPIs and providers. Name/value pairs would be simplest with regards to storing and also
editing through the admin console.
What are the security implications of this in a multi-tenant
environment? Might not want a specific realm admin to be able to modify
keycloak-server.json
What about just allowing user to enter in Json?
