Keycloak – what is it and how can we help you?
Keycloak is an identity and access management tool that enables secure logins and access to applications and online services. It facilitates user authorization and authentication, allowing for easy management of roles, permissions, and access to different parts of the system. Keycloak is used by developers to integrate security in modern web and mobile applications.
Main features supported by Keycloak
Keycloak provides a comprehensive identity and access management solution, enabling secure authentication, Single Sign-On (SSO), and user authorization for web and mobile applications. It supports industry-standard protocols such as OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and SAML, allowing seamless integration with various authentication providers, including social logins and enterprise directories. With features like multi-factor authentication (MFA), role-based access control (RBAC), and centralized session management, Keycloak enhances security while simplifying identity management. Designed for flexibility, it can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud, making it a scalable choice for organizations of all sizes.
Single Sign-On
(SSO)
allows a user to access multiple applications after logging in just once, using credentials such as username and password, as well as other methods. In the Keycloak system, this process is supported by the OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol, which manages the exchange of identity information and user authentication data.
Integration with Identity Management Systems (IdM)
Keycloak can be integrated with other IdM systems, such as LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) or Active Directory, allowing for centralized management of user identities and permissions within an enterprise. Such integration enhances SSO capabilities and includes user federations, enabling even more consistent and efficient management of access to various systems and applications.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
This feature provides an additional layer of security by using multiple methods of user identity verification at the same time, which significantly hinders unauthorized access. 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) is a popular form of MFA, often requiring the user to enter a password and confirm their identity with a second factor, such as a code from an authentication app.
Identity Providers (IdPs)
It enables user authentication using various configured sources that support standard protocols such as OAuth2 and OpenID Connect. As a result, the Keycloak system is extremely flexible and can integrate with various identity management services, including Google and Facebook.
Single Logout
Logging out from one system as part of SSO automatically logs the user out of all associated systems. This makes user session management more efficient and secure.
Session Management
Keycloak controls user session activity at the server level, allowing for monitoring and management of session lifetimes and their secure termination.
