Keycloak

Keycloak is an open-source Identity and Access Management solution aimed at modern applications and services. It makes it easy to secure applications and services with little to no code.

When to Use

• Self-Hosted Open-Source Identity Management: Deploying an enterprise IAM solution on Kubernetes without commercial vendor lock-in.
• Enterprise Federation (Active Directory / LDAP): Syncing users, groups, and credentials from corporate LDAP and Active Directory domains.
• Identity Brokering & Social Logins: Centralizing authentication across Google, GitHub, SAML 2.0, and OIDC identity providers.
• Fine-Grained Authorization Services: Defining attribute-based access control (ABAC) and resource permission policies.

Quick Start

docker run -p 8080:8080 -e KEYCLOAK_ADMIN=admin -e KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin quay.io/keycloak/keycloak:latest start-dev
