[keycloak-user] User-Federation

[Reed Lewis]

If you use the federation provider listed here:

[0]: http://tech.smartling.com/migrate-to-keycloak-with-zero-downtime/
[1]: https://github.com/Smartling/keycloak-user-migration-provider

You can specify a URL that will be called when a user needs to be validated.

There are three requests that need to be implemented in your sever.

GET <baseURL>/api/users/<username>/
If the user exists, it should return a 200 with a json object with the return type “application/json” with the following fields:
username
email
emailVerified
firstName
lastName
roles [“user”]

If the user does not exist, return a 404

HEAD <baseURL>/api/users/<username>/
Always return 200

POST <baseURL>/api/users/<username>/
The password is posted to you in a json object.
Return 200 if the password is OK, 401 if not.  In both cases return no data.

I wrote a small python module which implements these methods which works quite well.

Subject: [keycloak-user] User-Federation

Hi Everyone,

I have an application that runs on a postgresql database, keycloak has been configured and has created all the required tables/columns in my schema using liquibase on start up of the keycloak server.

I need to authenticate users using the projects existing user table obtaining the username and password from this table.

I have had a look at the federation provider project under the example projects but this still eludes me as to how I change the keycloak mapping to use my own tables in postgress?

Can someone please point me in the right direction or if someone has implemented such a solution please share how you have done it?

Thanks everyone.

  Regards,
  Stuart Jacobs
