[keycloak-user] OpenID Connect discovery with Play Framework

[Bruce Shaw]

Hello,

I’m evaluating Keycloak as an identity provider for a few Play Framework projects using pac4j-play as the OpenID Connect client.

There isn’t an adapter for Play so I thought I could leverage the discovery endpoint with my client to authenticate.  I wasn’t able to find any details on this in the documentation but after a little bit of digging I found the "well-known" uri that I configured with our client to authenticate successfully with our Keycloak instance.  

So because I couldn’t find much on this I was curious if this approach for authentication is recommended or supported.  Also, what is the difference in action between logging out with the “end_session_endpoint” provided by the discovery metadata versus the logout url in the documentation: “http://auth-server/auth/realms/{realm-name}/tokens/logout?redirect_uri=encodedRedirectUri” ?

thanks,
Bruce
