[keycloak-dev] Where to store data for the SSO session?

[Stian Thorgersen]

KeycloakSession is not a users session it's created/closed per-request to the server.

We recently added an Authentication SPI in 1.4 and in 1.5 we're including a way to define custom flows. This may be better suited to your needs than the User Federation SPI.

With regards to the user session there's a user session provider that's responsible for that, and you can add attributes to the user session. You can get the user session provider from KeycloakSession.sessions(). How you get the user-session or the user session id depends on where exactly you want to obtain it.
