keycloak-collective-portal

WARNING: this software is in a pre-alpha quality state and is an initial prototype. It is being developed within the context of lumbung.space and may have hard-coded values and configuration specifically for that environment. If the idea of this software sounds interesting to you, please let us know on the issue tracker!

Community Keycloak SSO user management

This is a tiny Python app that allows you create custom web pages, outside of the Keycloak administration interface, which can be used to manage users in Keycloak. This is done via the REST API. It was designed with collective management in mind. Existing Keycloak users can authenticate with the app and then do things like invite others, send verification emails and so on. Anything that the REST API supports, this app can support. We aim to strive for the usability which is often lacking in Enterprise Software ™ environments (Keycloak is made within the context of RedHat / IBM). This is the No Admins, No Masters edition of Keycloak.

Getting Started

From a system administrator perspective

A note on permissions: we use the admin-cli client and a fine grained, secure access configuration for making requests from this app to your Keycloak instance. We aim to follow the Keycloak documentation and recommended practices on security so that keycloak-colective-portal is a safe option to add into your technology stack.

Ensure that your admin-cli client under your Client settings has the following config:
- Settings tab:
  - Access Type: confidential
  - Service Accounts Enabled: ON
- Scope tab:
  - Full scope allowed: OFF
  - Client roles: Under realm-management add manage-users and view-users
- Service Account Roles tab:
  - Client roles: Under realm-management add manage-users and view-users
Deploy using coop-cloud/keycloak-colective-portal
- See the example .envrc for the configuration available, more documentation will follow soon.

From a collective member perspective

Visit https://<your-portal-url> (ask your system adminstrator friends)
Log in with your usual login details
Follow the instructions on the web page to perform administrative actions

Hacking

It's a FastAPI application (if you know Flask / Sanic then it is more or less the same thing). Currently being developed with Python 3.9. Once we move out of the prototype stage, more version compatability will be offered.
