[keycloak-user] Advice on setting up realms

[Olivier Rivat]

Hi Chris,


Couple of points:
1) >  Can I make these two types of user coexist in a single realm, or 
do I need to split it up?

-Authentication is on a per realm basis
For authentication you configure a corresponding authentication flow, by 
default for the entire realm.

With 4.X and, 5.0, you can override the default authentification flow, 
for specific client applications

If you want 2 different ways to authenticate (staff with 2FA, 
username/apssword + TOPTP ), and external with 1FA (username/password)
best is to have to different realms, withe one realm for staff an other 
for external people


2) > How can I enforce policies such as requiring TOTP for our staff?
You just have to indicate that TOTP is required in the realm staff 
suathentication flow


3) > Can I prevent users from changing their email address and name in 
the account console while still permitting password and authenticator 
changes?
At first glance, there seems no specific tuning for this, unless writing 
a specific custom plugin.


Vist also our web site for info about TOTP, and realms:
