You should implement a User Federation Provider (https://keycloak.github.io/docs/userguide/keycloak-server/html/user_feder...) that uses your external database. Regards, Anthony From: keycloak-user-bounces(a)lists.jboss.org [mailto:keycloak-user-bounces@lists.jboss.org] On Behalf Of Juan Diego Sent: Tuesday, 12 April 2016 3:41 AM To: keycloak-user Subject: [keycloak-user] syncing users in database with keycloak user Hi, This is the first time I am using my users in another database, using keycloak. And I am not sure what is the best approach. I have my app that has a table users and other tables that depend on users. When i did my trials I was thinking on using keycloak interface, but that got me thinking that I should manually add the users to my database in order for them to work, at least the ID of the user and then matched to cookies once i loaded. So the best approach I can think of is to create a login module or something in my app and when I create users through my app they connect via rest to my keycloak server and "duplicate" the needed data on keycloak and my database. So If I need to delete something both databases would be on sync. right? So if I want to add users to my app I shouldnt use the keycloak interface, I should use mine right? The other way I was thinking is that if it is the first time my users log in, my app triggers some functions that recreate what you have on keycloak Thanks Juan Diego The content of this e-mail, including any attachments, is a confidential communication between Virgin Australia Airlines Pty Ltd (Virgin Australia) or its related entities (or the sender if this email is a private communication) and the intended addressee and is for the sole use of that intended addressee.
