This workshop is intended for Java developers who are already familiar with Keycloak and want to customize it to meet their specific needs using their own extensions.
Prerequisites:
Familiarity with a Java IDE (IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, VS Code, …)
Required:
We use Docker Compose as our testing and verification environment to keep operational overhead to a minimum.
Is the standard Keycloak not enough? No problem—Keycloak is built from the ground up to be extensible. With Service Provider Interfaces (SPIs), you can customize nearly every aspect of the system to meet your own requirements without having to touch the core.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how Keycloak extensions work conceptually, which SPIs you’ll need most often—and you’ll implement them yourself right away. This includes automated integration tests against a real Keycloak server.
One of Keycloak’s biggest advantages is its extensibility: The SPI pattern allows you to build your own implementations and deploy them to Keycloak at runtime—without having to recompile the actual core or the distribution. Virtually every important feature in Keycloak is accessible via SPIs.
That sounds powerful—and it is. But without an understanding of the right interfaces, the ‘KeycloakSession’, the Context objects, and how the ProviderFactory and Provider work together, you’ll quickly lose track of what’s going on.
Our trainer Niko Köbler will show you how it all fits together—and you’ll implement it together. Bonus: Using his own open-source library testcontainers-keycloak—which has been used in many global projects—you’ll test the extensions you’ve developed against a real Keycloak server in an integration test—no mocking, no guesswork.
