Re: [keycloak-user] Validate User Credentials Without Creating a Session
Hi Marek,
Thanks for the suggestion. Could you maybe point me in the right direction there?
I'm having some difficulties finding the actual place where credentials are checked
in the Keycloak code and where the session is being created.
Additionally I've looked the documentation
(http://www.keycloak.org/docs/3.1/server_development/topics/extensions.html)
but I'm having trouble understanding from that what these pieces described are
actually for,
where the entry point is, and how I can connect it to the actual Keycloak storage. I also
don't
really know how to actually integrate the endpoint into Keycloak once I have one built
Regards,
Scott

Hi Scott,
it's not available OOTB, but you can add your own REST endpoint to
verify username/password. Or alternatively you can just do directGrant
login (OAuth2 Resource Owner Password Credentials Grant) and then logout
session.

Hi,
We're currently using Keycloak 2.5.5.Final, and in this version it's not
possible
to validate a user's credentials (username / password combination) without
actually logging the user in which results in a session (and our sessions are long-
lived). Is there any new functionality introduced in the later versions of Keycloak
to validate the credentials without actually logging the user in?
Our use-case is that we have very long-lived tokens, but we want to require the
user to re-enter his/her password in order to perform some certain sensitive tasks
such as changing the password or username.
If such functionality is not available, would it be possible to add this?
Regards,
Scott
