[keycloak-dev] Authz Model Implementation

Thanks for your clear answer Pedro, I understand the vision that KC is aiming to achieve and now I know what requirements I’m going to be able to cover with the KC approach.

Also, following the Arthur concerns, IMO the in-house security solutions that were built using PL are going to follow a different path from KC and will have to be maintained with resources inside the company or they can extend the SPI that will be provided by KC and this still will require a high inside resources demand.

I think KC will work for my needs and I will be interested in contributing if it’s possible. I’m looking forward to test the Authz server.

Regards,

Cristhian.

In other words, Keycloak will become a PAP (Policy Administration Point), a PDP (Policy Decision Point) and a Entitlements Server. Everything based on OpenID Connect (and of course, oAuth2).

We are considering these same premises for the authz server, so you can protect web apps, RESTful APIs or any other resources very easily. For instance, you'll be able to write policies using JBoss Drools, EL and easily extend your existing oAuth2 clients in order ask for permissions or enforce them (in case your client acts as a resource server).
