keycloak-ui VS authentik

Yes, but I expect more issues to come. Especially due to the removal of the old admin-console there might be some strange behavior with existing client / realm configurations where the new admin-console works a bit different then the old one..., e.g.: https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak-ui/issues/4450 and many more...

In Keycloak 19 there is a bug in interface that does not allow opening settings for authenticators. Refer to this issue.

We're actually working on a new version of the Administration UI at the moment (I'm one of the devs) so this is useful feedback. We're looking for folks to try it out, so take a look at https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak-admin-ui/.

You can try it out on the latest Keycloak by passing the --features=admin2 flag on startup.

I had to use keycloak in the past as the authentication service for a work app. Keycloak you can pull the docker image and start it up fairly easy. The UI is built in React with Typescript here https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak-admin-ui.

If you're looking for a system that has more features, is user friendly, a nice admin ui and easy deployments compared to Keycloak. Please give https://goauthentik.io/ a shot. Not affiliated in any way, just a very happy user.

It has

-an admin UI

- Supports (LDAP, SAML, OAUTH, social logins)

- MFA, Passkeys

- Application access based on user groups etc

Hey, for authentik this is actually something we're actively working on: https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik/pull/8330, and this will be included in our next feature release in April!

See here for the fix, which both implements the workaround suggested in the issue and also a much more standard-compliant method: https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik/pull/8471

Ask in the correct places for support: https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik/discussions and https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/issues

I've been searching around for a while now, and struggling with getting Authentik setup on my NAS. I'd like to deploy via Portainer, but getting lost in the documentation just to deploy.

Personally I went with Keycloak, because it's fairly well documented and also has Docker images available: https://www.keycloak.org/getting-started/getting-started-doc... although the fact that they want you to create an "optimized" image yourself and have a long build/setup process on startup instead is slightly annoying: https://www.keycloak.org/server/containers

Regardless, with something like mod_auth_openidc or another Relying Party implementation, all of the sudden authn/authz becomes easier to manage (you can literally get user information including roles in headers that are passed from your gateway/relying party to apps behind the reverse proxy), regardless of what you have actually running in your APIs: https://github.com/OpenIDC/mod_auth_openidc (there are other options, of course, but I went with that because I already use mod_md).

It's actually cool that there are plentiful options in the space, since OIDC is pretty complex in of itself and attempts at creating something pleasant to actually use are always welcome, I've also heard good things about Authentik: https://goauthentik.io/

Hello ! I am hosting a server under NixOS with multiple services, and to simply the identity management, I use authentik (https://goauthentik.io/) which can be compared to keycloak. Everything works fine until I try to enable mastodon to host an instance : authentik returns an error 400 and nothing changes this but disabling mastodon. Does anyone have an idea of what could be the cause of this ?

For Authentik, it looks like they are not interested to write how to configure HAProxy with it https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik/issues/5768
