[keycloak-user] Customization of authentication mechanism and +

Tue Mar 17 05:25:26 EDT 2015

Thanks again.
I need to go thru most documentation to get the hang of it. Will do.
I would love to contribute if u can get a php application in place, is it possible for you to direct me to documentation where there are hints regarding the adapter logic?

We don't have a PHP adapter, and there's no immediate plans to create one. You could use:

* JavaScript adapter (http://docs.jboss.org/keycloak/docs/1.1.0.Final/userguide/html/ch08.html#javascript-adapter)
* Proxy (http://docs.jboss.org/keycloak/docs/1.1.0.Final/userguide/html/proxy.html)

Alternatively have a look on Google for instructions on using OAuth2 and/or OpenID Connect with PHP. Once 1.2.0.Beta1 is released we'll also have a OpenID Connect Discovery endpoint, which should make it easier to use other OpenID Connect client libraries with Keycloak.

If you're willing to contribute a PHP adapter then let me know and I can give you more details on what would be required and some hints to get you started.
