[keycloak-user] Customization of authentication mechanism and +

[Kalinga Dissanayake]

Thanks again for your quick feedbacks.
Sorry I have a number of questions so I will be buzzing u guys regularly.
I went through the document for the adapters;
[ http://docs.jboss.org/keycloak/docs/1.1.0.Final/userguide/html/ch08.html ]( http://docs.jboss.org/keycloak/docs/1.1.0.Final/userguide/html/ch08.html )
 
So lets say I need a php application to be deployed using keycloak as my SSO manager application.
So my basic requirement is that user should have the ability to signin via keycloak. I see that there are no dedicated adapters for php (I guess it must be in the works)
 
Is there a guideline that I should follow if I am  to do it manually? Basically what I should to do replicate what an adapter does (if I dont want to use any adapters or my apps are mobile based or deployed on containers hat keycloak does not have adapters for). Hope my question is clear.

Minimally you need to import username. Probably email too if you want 
to use any of our email-based features. With UserFederationProvider you 
can delegate to the third-party storage for other user attributes/metadata.

Or you can migrate the users fully to the Keycloak db. In either case you have an option on overriding how passwords are verified (either UserFederationProvider or by extending an existing UserProvider). With the above authentication mechanism we'll most likely also make the verification of passwords pluggable which would support different hash algorithms.
