Re: [keycloak-user] External Username, Password, Email... dataset with Keycloak

Scott, Yes that is exactly what I wish to have happen. If a user is from an external IDP do not check the federation provider at all. The reason for this is I might have users in my federation provider who are going to log in using external IDP going forward. I wish to have them always use the IDP to login now. I checked your suggestion, and my federation provider gets the account name as just the email address, not (idp).email. For example when It is called it comes in as foo(a)google.com not google.foo(a)google.com so that will not work. So I think that there must be changes needed to Keycloak to not check the Federation provider if it comes from an external IDP Thanks, Reed From: Scott Rossillo <srossillo(a)smartling.com&gt; Date: Wednesday, January 27, 2016 at 1:02 PM To: Reed Lewis <RLewis(a)carbonite.com&gt; Cc: Thomas Darimont <thomas.darimont(a)googlemail.com&gt;, " keycloak-user(a)lists.jboss.org&quot; <keycloak-user(a)lists.jboss.org&gt; Subject: Re: [keycloak-user] External Username, Password, Email... dataset with Keycloak I think that’s a more general question about user account merging so maybe one of the core devs can chime in. However, I just want to clarify, you don’t want to query the federation provider at all when a user signs in with external IDP, right? In that case, you could modify the findByUsername() method to not create a user if the login is with a IDP. I’m not sure if it still exists in 1.7+ but the username used to be created as idp.email(a)provider.com where the IDP is the username prefix. Does that make sense / sufficiently address the use case? ~ Scott On Jan 27, 2016, at 12:34 PM, Reed Lewis <RLewis(a)carbonite.com&gt; wrote: This is working for me now. I created a service that listens on a port and implements the GET, HEAD and POST requests that are being made. The one issue now is that integration with other Identity providers does not work now since it still calls my server with the username from the external provider. How can I tell Keycloak that when a user comes from an external Identity provider not to check the user Federation provider?

Within the federation provider you can then import the user data returned from the REST call. This would work as follows - within the method: org.keycloak.models.UserFederationProvider.getUserByUsername(RealmModel, String) you call your backend REST service. As a next step you create a new user with the given username UserModel keycloakUser = session.userStorage().addUser(realm, username); Then you copy all the user data from your backend into Keycloak's UserModel. After that your backend user has a corresponding representation in Keycloak with a reference to this federation provider (id) via the "userModel.federationLink" property. The federation link will also be shown in the user page in the keycloak admin console. As long as the federation link is in place keycloak will ask the federation provider for the latest user data. Once you decide to cut the link to the federation provider you can simply do userModel.setFederationLink(null). You could basically cut (or rather omit) the federation link right after you added the user to Keycloak. Keycloak has no link information after that anymore and it will only use the user data stored in the Keycloak database for that particular user. You also have the option to do that for all your users via: org.keycloak.models.UserFederationProviderFactory.syncAllUsers(KeycloakSessionFactory, String, UserFederationProviderModel) or just use on demand per User when he / she want's to login for the first time.
