[keycloak-dev] Configurable User Federation Providers

[Thomas Darimont]

Hello list and happy new year!

I'm implementing a custom org.keycloak.models.UserFederationProviderFactory
which should
be configurable via the keycloak admin console.

The possible configuration are currently specified via the "Set<String>
getConfigurationOptions()"
method of the UserFederationProviderFactory  interface,

Since the "Set<String" only describes the raw option names there seems to
be no way to
specify custom labels, help texts, default options, etc.

it would be great if it were possible to configure custom keycloak
federation provider factories like
custom ConfigurableAuthenticatorFactory. For the latter one can specify a
list of configuration options
via the "List<ProviderConfigProperty> getConfigProperties()" method on the
"org.keycloak.provider.ConfiguredProvider" interface.

"org.keycloak.provider.ProviderConfigProperty" has name, label, helptext,
type and defaultValue which is all I need.

It seems that currently
"org.keycloak.services.resources.admin.UserFederationProvidersResource.getProvider(String)"
isn't aware of the "ConfiguredProvider" interface. I guess making it aware
of ConfiguredProvider with some additional UI tweaks should do the trick.

What do you guys think?

Cheers,
Thomas
