[keycloak-user] Accessing Keycloak from Okta Dashboard

Hi Matteo,

You're talking about 2 different flows here:
* the "login with okta" button on keycloak. Then the flow is started from keycloak and it's called SP initiated login.
* clicking the keycloak button in okta. Then the flow is started from okta and it's called IDP initiated login

To my understanding this will depend on what type of client you're using.

If your client is a SAML client, you should look at IDP initiated login section in the docs (never tried it myself): https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_admin/index.html#idp-initiated-login
On the other hand, if your client is an Openid connect/OAuth client, to my understanding oauth does not support this and hence it's not possible out-of-the-box.

I'm in the same situation myself, and at the moment we've "solved" this by not showing the keycloak button in okta (you can configure that).
However it would be much more convenient to get it working, so if anybody has a workaround on this, I'd be happy to know. I was thinking myself if there isn't a possibility to put a "fake" SAML client in between to handle the IDP initiated login and then redirect to the oauth app would be an option. But haven't found time to try it out.

Best regards,
Tom

Hi all,
we're trying to configure Keycloak with Okta. We've no problems in configuring the button "Login with okta" on the Keycloak login page. The problem now is how to configure Keycloak to have the possibility to access Keycloak from the Okta dashboard. Once we've configured the app in Okta, we've received the following error message inside the Keycloak logs:

07:44:13,487 INFO
 [org.jboss.aerogear.keycloak.metrics.MetricsEventListener] (default
task-4) Received user event of type IDENTITY_PROVIDER_LOGIN_ERROR in realm master
07:44:13,487 WARN  [org.keycloak.events] (default task-4) type=IDENTITY_PROVIDER_LOGIN_ERROR, realmId=master, clientId=null, userId=null, ipAddress=10.1.3.6, error=invalidRequestMessage
07:44:13,487 ERROR [org.keycloak.services.resources.IdentityBrokerService]
(default task-4) invalidRequestMessage

We've followed this guide:

Any thoughts on that?

Thank you very much,
Matteo
