Hi, can you try to use "varchar(2048)" instead of "text" ? The potential issue with "text" is, that it's PostgreSQL specific stuff and may not be supported by all databases, which we need to support in Keycloak. Please let me know if it works and feel free to create JIRA. We will then fix Liquibase script (the thing, which we are using to create DB tables and schema) and in Keycloak 1.5 it will be fixed and the length should suffice. If you can fix and test by yourself and send PR to Keycloak master, it will be even better :-) Thanks, Marek On 10.8.2015 10:54, Tair Sabirgaliev wrote: > Hi, > > When configuring Keycloak to use Active Directory we found that some > attributes could not fit into user_attributes.value column in Postgresql. > The problematic values are Cyrillic text.
