Re: [keycloak-user] Migrating Users Database
At the moment we have an Authentication SPI that will let you easily authenticate users
with your existing database of users. The first time a new user logs in using this
approach a user will be pulled in to the Keycloak database. There's no documentation
for this feature yet, but look at the SPI at
https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/tree/master/authentication/authentic... and the
implementation that uses the Keycloak model itself to authenticate at
https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/tree/master/authentication/authentic....
In the future we plan to provide a Sync SPI that will take this one step further and let
you sync users (and roles) to/from an existing database.
However, if you plan to completely replace your current authentication system the cleanest
solution may be to import your current user database into Keycloak once and for all. If
you're interested in this approach let me know.

Subject: [keycloak-user] Migrating Users Database
Hi,
I'm trying to replace my current authentication system with Keycloak, but I
have one problem. I already have a database of users, populated with
millions of records, and I wanted to make it work with Keycloak.
What would be the best approach on this scenario? Should I migrate everything
to the Keycloak tables, or try to make Keycloak understand my current
database?
Is there any recommendation on this matter? And if there is, some explanation
or documentation?
Thanks!
