So, is this correct that:
- your customer has the "foo" role configured in their Keycloak;
- authors of the app expect that the user have the "bar" role;
- neither your customer wants to create "bar" in Keycloak, nor programmers want to change their code to use "foo", and you're caught in the crossfire?
Off the top of my head, there can be two solutions:
1) modify SAML adapter code and implement role mapping there -
shouldn't be too tricky, but from now on you'll have to use modified
adapter and update it with every Keycloak release (or maybe commit it
to upstream, but I'm not sure it will be accepted);
2) deploy intermediary Keycloak, configure brokering between it and
customer's one and use the role mapper trick. This could be made
transparent for end-users, however will add a couple of redirects to the flow.
And of course this will mean that you'll have to maintain yet another
piece of software.
Good luck!
