examples VS Keycloak

INFO If you just want to skip to the code, visit the Phase Two Vue.js example. We are also building Keycloak examples for other frameworks.

The final middleware we need to add to our server is authentication. In this example, we'll use Keycloak as our identity provider. To interface with Keycloak in Go, we'll use the gocloak module. By leveraging gocloak, we can perform authentication against Keycloak using Gin middleware.

Keycloak has been a leader in the Identity and Access Management world since its launch almost 8 years ago. It is an open-source offering under the stewardship of Red Hat

In my eyes, that felt like something that should be separate from any given app or back end API, so in my case I use mod_auth_openidc: https://github.com/OpenIDC/mod_auth_openidc with Keycloak: https://www.keycloak.org/

My back end/app just gets a few headers that say who an authenticated user is, if they are logged in. When I need to log in or create a user, I can just direct them to the Keycloak SSO portal, where they can also use social login.

It's using OpenID Connect without the insanity of dealing with the low level logic.

In this article we'll be using Keycloak to quickly augment an application with user management and SSO. We will demonstrate the integration by securing a page for logged-in users. This quickly provides a jump-off point to more complex integrations.

Keycloak, an open-source identity and access management solution, provides robust authentication and authorization services for modern applications. However, configuring Keycloak instances manually can be tedious and error-prone. In this blog post, we'll explore how to simplify Keycloak configuration using Terraform and Terragrunt, enabling infrastructure as code (IaC) practices for managing Keycloak realms, clients, users, and more.

In this article we'll be using Keycloak to secure a Vue.js Web application. We're going to leverage oidc-client-ts to integrate OIDC authentication with the Vue app. The oidc-client-ts package is a well-maintained and used library. It provides a lot of utilities for building out a fully production app.

It sounds like what you're looking for is an identity provider.

A popular open source option is https://www.keycloak.org/

This application can manage your users, then you can use standards like OpenID or SAML to plug it into your application, of which there are usually many plugins to accomplish this depending on your tech stack.
