[keycloak-user] Re: LDAP with Kerberos, login with different user

[Michael Gerber]

TBH I have not checked out 1.4 yet. But I will have a look at it as soon as it's out.

It would solve my problem, if 1.4 offers a way to create impersonated users and login with username and password even if kerberos is enabled.

Ah, Ok. So it's about admin users. Also note that in latest 1.4 version we will have new "impersonation" feature, which allows admin to temporarily login on behalf of any other user. Isn't this even better for your usecase?

Hi, yes something like that would be great.
Because our application admins are no tech guys, so it would be nice to offer an easy solution to them ;)

Maybe we can have special request parameter, which will be send from application to login screen. The parameter will contain list of authentication mechanisms, which you want to skip for this login. Something like "skipAuthType=cookie,kerberos" . The list of skipped alternative mechanisms will be saved in ClientSession, so authentication SPI can deal with it. 

Not sure if it makes sense to add support into adapter, but maybe something basic (like we have for parameters "login_hint" or "kc_idp_hint" in keycloak.js) can be added as well?

Do you want that for normal users or just for admin users? Just trying to understand the usecase. Because AFAIK the point of kerberos is, that you login into the desktop and then you're automatically logged into integrated web applications without need to deal with any login screens and username/password. When user has just one keycloak account corresponding to his kerberos ticket, then why he need to login as different user?

I can understand the usecase for admin, when you want to login as different user for testing purpose etc. For this, isn't it possible in windows to do something like "kdestroy" to be able to login without kerberos?

It's crucial for us to be able to log in as a different user, otherwise we can not use kerberos at all :(

I don't think it's doable. Kerberos is kind of desktop login and logout from the web application won't destroy the kerberos ticket - similarly like it can't logout your laptop/desktop session. So when you visit the secured application next time, you are automatically logged into Keycloak through SPNEGO due to the Kerberos ticket. 

Hence you need to remove kerberos ticket manually (For example "kdestroy" works on Linux, but I guess you're using Windows + ActiveDirectory? ) and then you will be able to see keycloak login screen and login as different user.

Hi all,

I use LDAP with Kerberos and would like to logout and login again with a different user (no kerberos login, just keycloak username and password dialog).
Is that possible? 

cheers
Michael
