Hello, I am trying to set-up a user federation. My project involves an external database. Currently no user data has to be imported from the external database. Changes in keycloak need to be exported to the external database. We don't want to validate logins against the external database. Could someone explain to me how to validate a user login against the keycloak database? This would be while using the "validCredentials(RealmModel realm, UserModel user, List<UserCredentialModel> input)" method. Thanks in advance.

Hello Bill, Sorry if my previous mail was not very helpful in describing my problem. I want to go through the following steps to login: 1. User "Frank" with password "welcome" wants to login using keycloak 2. Keycloak request a user exist on the external database. If this returns true => 3. Validate the password "welcome" to the password saved in keycloak which belongs to user "Frank". The problem is that I don't understand how to validate the password "welcome" with the password located in the keycloak database. Is there a way to request a " UserCredentialModel " and use the value stored in this object to check if passwords match? Is there a method that I can call that is similar to "ChallengeCredentials(String aPasswordToValidate)" which returns a Boolean?
