Thank you Marek
To check that I understand this approach correctly, is the following a
correct summary of how a federation provider works?
1. existing user tries to login via Keycloak
2. Keycloak checks if the user exists in the keycloak IDM. If user is
not there then use federation provider
3. the provider will get the user by email address or username, and
return the User object.
4. This user object can then be mapped and saved into keycloak.
5. Next time user tries to login user is retrieved from keycloak idm
Yes, Keycloak also verified during each authentication (or interaction
with the UserModel) if user still exists in your backend and it's
removed from Keycloak DB if not.
Normally user is synced to Keycloak DB after successful login (your step
4), but you can also sync all your users from your storage at once or
setup periodic sync.
User password would be verified against your DB, but it is flexible
enough, so for example if user change his password in Keycloak Account
mgmt you can either save it to your backend or to keycloak DB etc.
Question - where is the federated provider deployed? Is it in our
app,
or installed into Keycloak? Or something else?
Installed into Keycloak. I would
suggest to take a look at examples and
try them out. This will give you more insight.

Thanks

Hi,
it will be best if you write custom FederationProvider and point
it to your database. See
http://docs.jboss.org/keycloak/docs/1.1.0.Final/userguide/html/user_feder...
and examples in appliance-dist (Subdirectory examples/providers)
