Re: [keycloak-user] Best practice for database access in a keycloak custom provider?

Alternatively you can create your own EntityManagerFactory within your UserFederationProviderFactory. Downside to that is that you won't share the connection (and 1pc transaction). We could improve on this in the future as it's a bit clunky. The other alternative is that we plan to introduce a password hashing spi. With that you can provide the implementation that can hash passwords according to how you have them saved in your current database. Then you can import the users directly into Keycloak and forget about the user federation provider. To import the users you can either export them from your db to a json file (currently you need a full realm file, but we are looking at doing partial import/export now and with that you'll be able to import a json file with users only into an existing realm). Alternatively you can use the rest admin api to import them. On 8 October 2015 at 10:17, Valerij Timofeev <valerij.timofeev(a)gmail.com <mailto:valerij.timofeev@gmail.com>> wrote: Exactly. Plain text passwords are unknown, so the "custom user federation provider" approach, suggested by Scott Rossillo in the keycloak-user Digest, Vol 22, Issue 18, seems to be feasible: - User federation provider searches for the user in the legacy user storage on the 1st login. - If the user is found and the password legacy hash matches the value in the legacy user storage, user credential is updated in the Keycloak storage and federation link is removed then (see code snippet below). My question is, what would be the best way to access legacy database from within a Keycloak custom provider? JPA datasource for the legacy database is available on the same application server, where the Keycloak server runs (EAP 6.4.3). @Override public boolean validCredentials(RealmModel realm, UserModel user, List<UserCredentialModel> input) { for (UserCredentialModel cred : input) { if (cred.getType().equals(UserCredentialModel.PASSWORD)) { return this.updateCredential(realm, user, cred); } else { return false; // invalid cred type } } return false; } private boolean updateCredential(RealmModel realm, UserModel user, UserCredentialModel cred) { String password = properties.getProperty(user.getUsername()); if (password == null) return false; String encodedPassword = Digest.createPassword(cred.getValue()); boolean isPasswordOK = password.equals(encodedPassword); if (isPasswordOK) { // save password session.userStorage().getUserById(user.getId(), realm).updateCredential(cred); // break the federation link session.userStorage().getUserById(user.getId(), realm).setFederationLink(null); } return isPasswordOK; } 2015-10-08 5:57 GMT+02:00 Stian Thorgersen <sthorger(a)redhat.com <mailto:sthorger@redhat.com>>: Do you want to permanently import the users into the Keycloak database?

Additionally I considered hints provided by Scott Rossillo in the keycloak-user Digest, Vol 22, Issue 18 Above example works properly when retrieving users from a properties file. The next step in the implementation would be access to the database where users data is stored. My question: What would be the best practice for accessing database from a custom keycloak provider? Something like this? // KeycloakSession session.getProvider(JpaConnectionProvider.class, "myTS") .getEntityManager() .createQuery("SELECT... ? keycloak-server.json: "connectionsJpa": { "default": { "dataSource": "java:jboss/datasources/KeycloakDS", "databaseSchema": "update" }, "myTS": { "dataSource": "java:jboss/datasources/myTsDS" } } Thank you, Valerij Timofeev Software Engineer Trusted Shops GmbH _______________________________________________ keycloak-user mailing list keycloak-user(a)lists.jboss.org <mailto:keycloak-user@lists.jboss.org> https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/keycloak-user <https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/keycloak-user> _______________________________________________ keycloak-user mailing list keycloak-user(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/keycloak-user
