Stian,
Thanks for responding in a matter of few minutes.
I will then look to see if i can manage my doing changes on the Authentication Manager
class for now.
Further, I will have a look at the user provider and get back to u.
btw, Is the content on this link outdated;
http://docs.jboss.org/keycloak/docs/1.0-beta-3/userguide/html/authenticat...

We don't currently have a way to plugin your own authentication mechanism, but this is
something we'll be adding.
You have two choices when it comes to users, you can either use our user federation
provider mechanism to sync between Keycloak and your current db. Or you can migrate the
users fully to the Keycloak db. In either case you have an option on overriding how
passwords are verified (either UserFederationProvider or by extending an existing
UserProvider). With the above authentication mechanism we'll most likely also make the
verification of passwords pluggable which would support different hash algorithms.

Guys,
I need to understand the capability of keycloak with my requirement and to
ensure that keycloak is scalable to meet my needs. My main requirement is to
integrate keycloak to our system to support SSO hence I need to migrate my
existing users. My main concerns;
1/ Customize authentication method.
I need to authenticate users similar to what we currently use in our
production system. In our system, users are identified by username, password
and the pin.
For instance;
User -> jack, password -> pwd, pin -> 50000
User should enter all three to login to the system.
I went through the codebase and I saw that the Authentication Manager (which
is a concrete class) does all the work inside keycloak. I managed to
customize the frontend with ease, however, in order to support the pin in
the backend seems like I have to customize the AuthenticationManager class
(no direct SPIs).
Although there is a link here;
http://docs.jboss.org/keycloak/docs/1.0-beta-3/userguide/html/authenticat...
I cant seem to find anything here which matches the current code base (to via
a new authentication method via spis) and the example has been removed.
2/ Customize password hashes.
We have our own algorithm used to store password hashes. What should I do to
add this to keycloak?
I do not know the current passwords of the users already in our system, so
when doing the migration i need keyclock to support the current algorithm we
use. Can we plugin new hashing algorithms to meet my needs?
Any other issues I might face?
I feel key cloak is the right choice if the above two questions are answered.
Please let me know.
