User Storage Federation
Many companies have existing user databases that hold information about users and their passwords or other credentials. In may cases, it is just not possible to migrate off of those existing stores to a pure Keycloak deployment. Keycloak can federate existing external user databases. Out of the box we have support for LDAP and Active Directory.
Keycloak features and concepts:
Keycloak is a single sign on solution for web apps and RESTful web services. The goal of Keycloak is to make security simple so that it is easy for application developers to secure the apps and services they have deployed in their organization.
OpenLDAP is a free, open-source implementation of the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol developed by the OpenLDAP Project.

Hello, what if I need to connect to a customer ldap where I dont have admin account ?

[@computeriseasy]

Hello, if you have a standard installation of ldap you must have an admin . Through the admin account can you access and manage your whole ldap tree.

[@martinsimon4215]

@@computeriseasy The ldap is not my company, it is customer LDAP, so they not gonna share admin user with us. Does it need to be admin or it can be a regular user with specific role ( read only for instance ) ?

[@computeriseasy]

@@martinsimon4215 i have not done it but it muss be possible. To allow another, non-admin user to do this, create a new role, add the relevant permissions to this role, and assign the non-admin user to the role.

Thanks for the detail explanation , if we want to ldap groups also need to migrate to keycloak what are changes need to do from configuration level .when i do keycloak ldap migration only users are imported to keycloak under user but group are not imported in my ldap groups also configured ,so if i want to import the groups what configuration changes need to do . Please let us know the configuration steps for group migration

[@computeriseasy]

that is a good question. After doing the federation you have to open the mappers tab ( under the federation itself). After that you have to create a new mapper and for that mapper you select the ,, group-ldap-mapper ,, and there you do the configuration according to your ldap structure.

@@computeriseasy I have tried the same steps but groups not imported , getting this message I have installed intSuccess! Data synced successfully. 0 imported groups, 0 updated groups, 0 removed groups Canyou please help me the keycloak configuration details for groups import please make a video for groups migration in keycloak if possible

[@computeriseasy]

@@bcreddy571look at the log file of keycloak, maybe you find some infos about that. Or try it with : Ignore Missing Groups: True

[@shojibflamon]

My Configuration is ok but each time when want to sync the user, getting "Success! Sync of users finished successfully. 0 imported users, 0 updated users, 587 users failed sync! See server log for more details" Whats the reason?

[@computeriseasy]

it can have different reasons. maybe the users schema is not configured correctly (cn, uid and ...). open the log file of your keycloak server and check what exactly the reason ist.

how can we change Redirect URI to https in Identity Providers

[@computeriseasy]

It is very good question ! After adding an identity provider ( like microsoft ) under the identity providers in your desired realm, the redirect uri will be automatically created according to the base url of your keycloak server . if your keycloak server runs under https the redirect uri under identity provider muss be also under https, for example in my case : keycloak.xxxx:8443/auth/realms/my-realm/broker/microsoft/endpoint I hope, i could help :)))
