[keycloak-user] Offline tokens clients best practice

[keith.hudson at hudzinga.com]

If you want to use on client-id, I would recommend that you use one client-id to represent your suite of applications and then use security realms and roles to segregate your applications and the corresponding access that your users are granted.

The one disadvantage to this is that if your retire an application or need to make security requirements different on a "per application" basis, you will have a tough time managing that with all of your applications using a single client-id.

Depending on the number of applications you are talking about here, I would recommend using separate client-ids per application. Of course, this is based on our own personal configuration where we have a few separate client-ids (less than 5). Perhaps someone with a more extensible setup could offer you a better recommendation.

Subject: [keycloak-user] Offline tokens clients best practice

Hi,

We noticed that when working with offline tokens the same client that generated the offline token must be the one that will generate an access token from it, if we use different client we getting an error message.

This approach might be problematic since we have users that want to use multiple applications and the shouldn't be aware of the client id or from which application they generated the offline token.

So we would like to use single client for generating the offline tokens and generating access tokens from them for all of our applications, is it the best practice ? any known disadvantages to that approach ?


Thanks,
Haim.
