[keycloak-user] External Username, Password, Email... dataset with Keycloak

Wed Jan 27 14:13:19 EST 2016

The interesting thing is that the user is not being added to Keycloak at all (or at least does not look like it gets in at all).   When I use an external IDP, and it also calls my local federation provider I return an account representation, but it never seems to be added to Keycloak at all.

I am getting an Error in Keycloak execution.  I will attach that error to this email.

Hello,

I think it would be helpful if keycloak would store a "note" about where a use came from
in the user model. Cloud Foundry's UAA stores the "origin system name" (origin) as well as
the "origin user id" (externalId) in the user model.

See:
https://github.com/cloudfoundry/uaa/blob/master/model/src/main/java/org/cloudfoundry/identity/uaa/scim/ScimUser.java#L323

In the UAA case users created by the UAA have the origin set to "uaa" and externalId to null. Other users have a different origin.

In my federation provider I set custom user attributes origin.name<http://origin.name> and origin.id<http://origin.id> in order to store
a reference to the original user account. I found this very helpful especially during migration / transition phases as well as for debugging.

Cheers,
Thomas

Scott,
  Yes that is exactly what I wish to have happen.  If a user is from an external IDP do not check the federation provider at all.   The reason for this is I might have users in my federation provider who are going to log in using external IDP going forward. I wish to have them always use the IDP to login now.

I checked your suggestion, and my federation provider gets the account name as just the email address, not (idp).email.   For example when It is called it comes in as foo at google.com<mailto:foo at google.com>   not google.foo at google.com<mailto:google.foo at google.com> so that will not work.

So I think that there must be changes needed to Keycloak to not check the Federation provider if it comes from an external IDP

Thanks,

Reed

I think that’s a more general question about user account merging so maybe one of the core devs can chime in. However, I just want to clarify, you don’t want to query the federation provider at all when a user signs in with external IDP, right? In that case, you could modify the findByUsername() method to not create a user if the login is with a IDP.  I’m not sure if it still exists in 1.7+ but the username used to be created as idp.email at provider.com<mailto:idp.email at provider.com> where the IDP is the username prefix.

Does that make sense / sufficiently address the use case?

This is working for me now.  I created a service that listens on a port and implements the GET, HEAD and POST requests that are being made.

The one issue now is that integration with other Identity providers does not work now since it still calls my server with the username from the external provider.    How can I tell Keycloak that when a user comes from an external Identity provider not to check the user Federation provider?

Thank you,

We just put up and blog post[0] and some sample code[1] on how to do this type of migration.

Hello Reed,

as you already wrote, you can write a federation provider that queries your
backend service via REST for user data.
Within the federation provider you can then import the user data
returned from the REST call.

This would work as follows - within the method:
  org.keycloak.models.UserFederationProvider.getUserByUsername(RealmModel, String)
you call your backend REST service.

As a next step you create a new user with the given username
  UserModel keycloakUser = session.userStorage().addUser(realm, username);

Then you copy all the user data from your backend into Keycloak's UserModel.

After that your backend user has a corresponding representation in Keycloak
with a reference to this federation provider (id) via the "userModel.federationLink" property.

The federation link will also be shown in the user page in the keycloak admin console.
As long as the federation link is in place keycloak will ask the federation provider
for the latest user data. Once you decide to cut the link to the federation provider you can
simply do userModel.setFederationLink(null). You could basically cut (or rather omit) the federation
 link right after you added the user to Keycloak.

Keycloak has no link information after that anymore and it will only use the user data stored
in the Keycloak database for that particular user.

You also have the option to do that for all your users via:
  org.keycloak.models.UserFederationProviderFactory.syncAllUsers(KeycloakSessionFactory, String, UserFederationProviderModel)
or just use on demand per User when he / she want's to login for the first time.

Cheers,
Thomas

Hi,
   We are examining KeyCloak (It looks like it can do what we want), but we have the need to have an external lookup of accounts who are not in KeyCloak in an external database which is accessible via a REST call.   I know about federation, but would prefer to only check the external datasource if the user is not in KeyCloak, but from then on have all the data “live” in KeyCloak and never refer to the external datasource again once the account is “migrated” into KeyCloak.

Can this be done with some modification of federation?

We do not want to add the user accounts directly into KeyCloak as there are many more there than will ever be in KeyCloak.

Thank you,

Reed Lewis
