I worked on a project which used Keycloak for authentication and SSO module between like 10+ java services with a custom UI and custom 2fa solution. I really liked it. Setting up and using it with LDAP was easy, Google and other sso integration was a search and some settings away, it ran on docker without problems. There were some problems with caching and refreshing user data but that arose from the complex architecture. The keycloak UI was at times a little clunky but the documentation was good. I would recommend it to anyone.

> the documentation was good There’s also a book now which I can highly recommend: https://www.amazon.com/Keycloak-Management-Applications-protocols-applications-ebook/dp/B092KP135B https://www.amazon.com/Keycloak-Management-Applications-prot.... It has some holes in the installation section because it does not cover the most recent containerisation story but it’s pretty good for Keycloak configuration for various purposes.

Keycloak is awesome. It does 10 x what you likely need, but when some enterprise customer asks you to for support for their baroque idp setup or for their crazy password complexity requirements, with Keycloak you can always Just Say Yes.

  ... and when it does, it gives you the tools to whack the system till it works. Been there, done that, AWS can never claim their documentation is correct to me anymore.
