ah, you want to display custom error messages on login screen. It seems
you may need to override the UsernamePasswordForm . Take a look at
Authentication SPI documentation and examples for how to do it.
Btv. not sure if it's very good to create custom messages based on
errors as it can give potential attacker some details about your users.
For example we always display "Invalid username or password" error
regardless if tried username exists or not, so the attacked doesn't have
possibility to "guess" usernames (Some sites display "Invalid user" if
username doesn't exist and "Invalid password" if user exists, but
password is incorrect. We display single message in both cases).

thanks for your answer. Well, i suddenly tried your suggestion adding
a throw new ModelException("My message"); inside my provider class.
The exception is thrown but the login page is redirected to the
standard error page just displaying the message:
We're *sorry* ...
Unexpected error when handling authentication request to identity
provider.
How can i make the "My Message" exception message to be displayed on
the login page?
thanks

This method is called by Keycloak just during use-cases, when you want
to authenticate with unknown user. Which is currently during
Kerberos/SPNEGO login. It's not called during basic flow with
username/password authentication.
I think if you want to propagate error messages, you can for example
throw ModelException with the error message you want.

Feel free to create JIRA for the close method.
