Hi Stian,
Just revisting this. Can you elaborate on “you could use the admin endpoints to link the
KC user to an LDAP user when the student is created in LDAP”
How do you see this working?

If you don't mind having prospective students in LDAP as well you can have them
created in LDAP when they register in Keycloak. This applies to users registering with
social IdPs as well. Might even help your onboarding of students as you'd already have
some details filled in.
Otherwise you could use the admin endpoints to link the KC user to an LDAP user when the
student is created in LDAP.

Hi,
I’m new to keycloak and we’re investigating using it within our University. In the first
instance it would be used as a registration point for external users e.g. prospective
students etc. They will either register via the form or using social IdP’s in order to
access various apps for these types of users.
We want to remain open to using Keycloak for our internal (AD / LDAP) users to
authenticate to these same apps as well as corporate applications.
The tricky part comes where a prospective student (external identity) enrols and becomes a
regular student (LDAP user). We would like them to continue to be recognised as a single
identity and have their registered identities merged / linked with their new internal
id.
Hoping someone might be able to provide some guidance on the best way to go. There are a
few ideas I’ve been testing.
One is to have a single keycloak realm for user registration and configure LDAP as a user
federation source. However this would seem to rule out linking the accounts?
Another idea was to configure two realms (internal and external) and have the internal
realm act as an IdP for the external realm.
Another option is to create three realms, internal, external and combined. The combined
realm is used for SSO for all apps and the internal and external realms are configured to
be IdP’s for the combined realm. I can’t help but feel this is starting to get more
complicated than is necessary.
Any guidance or thoughts would be much appreciated.
Regards
Adam
