Hello,
this is not really a problem but some feedback on the user registration feature in keycloak.
This should be a really useful feature. It is simple to turn on in the admin console. And suddenly there is a new link in login page. But I am not sure how useful it is from a practical viewpoint.
The user can register and, from a keycloak perspective, is then logged in to the application. But because the app will be set up to use roles, the app does not see the user as authenticated and so is prevented from seeing the protected url. The solution would be to have a default role set up in the client, perhaps with low permissions until further verification takes place.
But there may be other things that need to take place such as adding the user to the apps database.
So would it be useful, in addition to the user registration yes/no switch, to have a url that a newly registered is sent to for other actions to take place?
I know that events should be able to deal with this but I had real trouble trying to get custom events to work (in fact never did, keycloak would crash when changes were made to standalone.xml file).
So not a complaint, not a bug, just some feedback and very much my opinion based on limited keycloak experience and knowledge.
