[keycloak-user] Frontend and backend on separate servers

[Nikola Malenic]

If I understand correctly, what you proposed is to create one proxy backend application which would have same endpoints as Keycloak does and which would just pass requests from Keycloak frontend app to the Keycloak backend?

It is difficult to integrate keycloak frontend flow with application. It work around is to use the keycloak rest endpoints.

 

 

My use case:

 

I have an app with frontend and backend running on different servers. I have a login endpoint in backend, once called with user credentials from frontend. That endpoint make another rest call to the keyclock auth endpoint, if authenticated it returns a json containing user's basic info and jwt based access_token. I used than token in subsequent requests to app backend. 

 

Feel free to ask if not clear.

Can you explain how? Just to be clear, when I said Frontend (Angular app) I had Keycloak’s frontend in mind.

One way to acheive this is by using the keycloak's rest endpoints.

Is it possible to achieve this with Keycloak Security Proxy and how?
Also, I've seen it is deprecated now.

Many thanks,
Nikola

I would like to host backend on secured network, i.e. it would be accessible
only from certain IPs.

Frontend (Angular application) would be served by different server in public
zone, which would have access to the secured network because requests from
it's IP would be allowed to go through firewall.



Is it possible to achieve this in an easy way? I wouldn't like to implement
proxy endpoints for all backend services in secured zone.



Many thanks,

Nikola
