For the database in a user federation provider you can use
JpaConnectionProvider,
but then you have to modify our persistence.xml. Alternatively you can
create your own EntityManagerFactory within your
UserFederationProviderFactory. Downside to that is that you won't share the
connection (and 1pc transaction). We could improve on this in the future as
it's a bit clunky.
The other alternative is that we plan to introduce a password hashing spi.
With that you can provide the implementation that can hash passwords
according to how you have them saved in your current database. Then you can
import the users directly into Keycloak and forget about the user
federation provider. To import the users you can either export them from
your db to a json file (currently you need a full realm file, but we are
looking at doing partial import/export now and with that you'll be able to
import a json file with users only into an existing realm). Alternatively
you can use the rest admin api to import them.

Exactly.
Plain text passwords are unknown, so the "custom user federation provider"
approach, suggested by Scott Rossillo in the keycloak-user Digest, Vol
22, Issue 18, seems to be feasible:
- User federation provider searches for the user in the legacy user
storage on the 1st login.
- If the user is found and the password legacy hash matches the value in
the legacy user storage, user credential is updated in the Keycloak storage
and federation link is removed then (see code snippet below).
My question is, what would be the best way to access legacy database from
within a Keycloak custom provider?
JPA datasource for the legacy database is available on the same
application server, where the Keycloak server runs (EAP 6.4.3).
@Override
public boolean validCredentials(RealmModel realm, UserModel user,
List<UserCredentialModel> input)
{
for (UserCredentialModel cred : input)
{
if (cred.getType().equals(UserCredentialModel.PASSWORD))
{
return this.updateCredential(realm, user, cred);
} else
{
return false; // invalid cred type
}
}
return false;
}
private boolean updateCredential(RealmModel realm, UserModel user,
UserCredentialModel cred)
{
String password = properties.getProperty(user.getUsername());
if (password == null)
return false;
String encodedPassword = Digest.createPassword(cred.getValue());
boolean isPasswordOK = password.equals(encodedPassword);
if (isPasswordOK)
{
// save password
session.userStorage().getUserById(user.getId(),
realm).updateCredential(cred);
// break the federation link
session.userStorage().getUserById(user.getId(),
realm).setFederationLink(null);
}
return isPasswordOK;
}
