I don't think Keycloak integration code can be worked to be a common
utility.
It seems to me that you would need a specific security realm implementation
from where you could just return an authorized identity as a result of
parsing the SAML assertion. Here is what we have in Keycloak [1]. As you
can see, we are basically trusting a KeycloakPrincipal, previously created
by the keycloak adapter, and creating an authorization identity from it. We
don't re-authenticate the user.
So when pushContext is called, you could use serverauthenticationcontext
and the CBH to ask Elytron for a security identity. See [2]. In this last
example, we pass the previously authenticated principal via
EvidenceVerifyCallback.
I think this might work for you.

that expects a principal previously authenticated by a keycloak adapter
(e.g.: using SAML or OIDC) and builds an authorized identity based on it.
Basically, what this security realm does is populate the authorized
idenitty with information from tokens.
Later we complete authentication in Elytron and set the token as a
credential into the identity. It is worth mention that in Keycloak
integration, the adapter is a Elytron HTTP Authentication Mechanism, so we
don't deal directly with the security domain but with the callback handler.
Regarding ElytronSecurityDomainContextImpl, is method pushContext called
after a call to isValid ? If so, the security domain should be set with the
security identity and you don't even need to keep that ThreadLocal ...
Thanks Pedro . Do you think the keycloak Elytron integration code can be
improved or changed to a common utility to convert the principal to an
Elytron identity?
Can you please point me the integration code or some Elytron example code
snippet to build this authorized identity from a authenticated principal ?
