Keycloak is an open source identity and access management solution.

Warning: this service is a new addition to the playbook. It may not fully work or be configured in a suboptimal manner.

Dependencies

This service requires the following other services:

Configuration

To enable this service, add the following configuration to your vars.yml file and re-run the installation process:

#                                                                      #
# keycloak                                                             #

keycloak_enabled: true

keycloak_hostname: mash.example.com
keycloak_path_prefix: /keycloak

keycloak_environment_variable_keycloak_admin: your_username_here
# Generating a strong password (e.g. `pwgen -s 64 1`) is recommended
keycloak_environment_variable_keycloak_admin_password: ''

#                                                                      #
# /keycloak                                                            #
#                                                                      #

URL

In the example configuration above, we configure the service to be hosted at https://mash.example.com/keycloak.

You can remove the keycloak_path_prefix variable definition, to make it default to /, so that the service is served at https://mash.example.com/.

Authentication

On first start, the admin user account will be created as defined with the keycloak_environment_variable_keycloak_admin and keycloak_environment_variable_keycloak_admin_password variables.

On each start after that, Keycloak will attempt to create the user again and report a non-fatal error (Keycloak will continue running).

Subsequent changes to the password will not affect an existing user's password.

Usage

After installation, you can go to the Keycloak URL, as defined in keycloak_hostname and keycloak_path_prefix and log in as described in Authentication.

Follow the Keycloak documentation or other guides for learning how to use Keycloak.
