In this beginner’s workshop, I will explain the basics of OIDC (OpenID Connect)-based authentication and how to use and configure Keycloak for this. Keycloak as a central IAM (Identity & Access Management) and SSO (Single Sign-On) system is experiencing a real boom and is in use in numerous companies and on countless websites. It’s not always easy for beginners to get to grips with all the new material and the many new terms. Many developers are (unfortunately) still afraid of the topic of security.
We will secure a distributed application landscape with Keycloak-based authentication, set up realms, clients and users and adapt the login flow to our requirements. After that, you won’t be a master yet, but you will have a better overview and know how Keycloak works and where to look when in doubt.
