In that case, I would likely use Keycloak with LDAP federation provider, 
which will point to some LDAP server in your environment. KC Federation 
provider needs to be declared with editMode "WRITABLE", so all users 
created through Keycloak will be synced to LDAP server as well including 
their password. Then the legacy product compatible just with LDAP will 
authenticate users against this LDAP server.
