I have done most of what you mentioned, although I didn't find the "Settings and Authentication" part on the Realm Settings. I couldn't add the new provider to it like you said, and the version I'm using is the one available on the github repo.

Also I saw that I should probably implement a RealmAdapter aswell, to provide access to my table structure, is that correct? If so, how should I configure Keycloak to use my adapter to find users, and not it's default one? Or at least not only it's default one

We will add some documentation to this soon, but you basically need to:

- Implement https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/blob/master/authentication/authentication-api/src/main/java/org/keycloak/authentication/AuthenticationProviderFactory.java
- Implement https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/blob/master/authentication/authentication-api/src/main/java/org/keycloak/authentication/AuthenticationProvider.java
- Add a 'META-INF/services/org.keycloak.authentication.AuthenticationProviderFactory' that contains the fully qualified name of your AuthenticationProviderFactory implementation

Build as a JAR and drop into keycloak/standalone/deployments/auth-server.war/WEB-INF/lib.

Start the server, open the admin console, navigate to realm settings and authentication. Click Add Provider and it should now have your new provider. Add it to the realm.

It will now use your provider to authenticate users.
