[keycloak-user] Keycloak Modules developed for the Cloudtrust project

Hello Meissa,

I’m a bit surprised about a question for Keycloak-export, as I thought that it was mostly Keycloak-authorization which was of interest.

That being said, I haven’t created a pull request for this feature, no, though it is available still as an extension on the cloudtrust project github (the latest release here https://github.com/cloudtrust/keycloak-export/releases/download/0.4/keycloak-export.tar.gz works on keycloak 4.6.0.FInal).

When I discussed the matter on the dev mailing list there were concerns about the following aspects: data integrity, size of transfer and security. Our position was that security is OK (data transferred over https), but that size and data integrity could be a concern depending on the use case. However, from what I understood, there wasn’t really any interest of bringing the feature to Keycloak.

If that has changed, I’ll gladly submit a pull request for the code.

Best regards,

Alistair Doswald

Hello Alistair,
Have you created the pull request for the keycloak-export module?
It's a very useful one and I think it could be nice if it becomes fully a part of keycloak.

I’ve done the PR for the extension page (keycloak-authorization and keycloak-export), and it’s been accepted. For the client-mapper I’ll see what’s necessary to be done to have it merged directly into Keycloak.

For the mechanism of keycloak-authorization, I for one would like having this functionality supported OOTB, whether through our (admittedly not very sophisticated) system, or another. I received a message from Stian Thorgersen on the dev mailing (here: http://lists.jboss.org/pipermail/keycloak-dev/2018-August/011116.html ) list asking more details about the module, so I’ll at least be discussing the matter with him.

Cheers,

Alistair

Cool stuff ! Thanks for sharing.

I've looked keycloak-authorization very quickly and changes look really simple, I'm glad to start a discussion about supporting this OOTB. Maybe this can be part of the review of admin fine-grained permissions we are planning.

Regards.

Thanks for the heads up!

IMO it will be cool if you send PR for the javascript mapper directly to
Keycloak, however we may need automated test and also docs (separate PR
needs to be sent for the docs).

For the keycloak-authorization and keycloak-export (and maybe for
keycloak-client-mappers too if you don't have time for the PR to
upstream), it may be good to send PR to update the extensions page
maybe? It's here: https://www.keycloak.org/extensions.html and sources
are here:
https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak-web/tree/master/src/main/resources/extensions
. Assuming that those things are generally useful for the other users
from the community (I am not 100% sure about the keycloak-authorization.
Rather leaving to you to decide if it's generally useful or not). The
keycloak-wsfed is already on the extensions page.

Thanks!
Marek

These are currently compatible with the version 3.4.3.Final of Keycloak, but we will make them compatible with Keycloak 4.X (where X will be the latest sub-version of Keycloak when we start working on this) as soon as we can. These modules are:

It works no matter which protocol is used, and without the client having to support any extra protocol. Note: this solution is a bit hacky, but necessary for one of our use-cases.

> * keycloak-client-mappers (https://github.com/cloudtrust/keycloak-client-mappers): a module for adding any mappers that we might need that are not yet part of Keycloak. Currently only contains a JavaScript mapper for SAML, analogous to the OIDC script mapper. I've noticed that there's an open issue for this feature (https://issues.jboss.org/browse/KEYCLOAK-5520). If desirable I could submit this code not as a module but a solution to the issue.
