Keycloak is an open-source identity-and-access-management platform providing single sign-on, user management, and standardized authentication protocols.
Red Hat initiated Keycloak in 2014 and developed it as a central identity provider for web, mobile, and service applications.
A realm separates identities, clients, roles, and policies. Users authenticate through browser flows or federated providers; Keycloak issues tokens via OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 or assertions via SAML. Admin console, themes, MFA, and federation govern lifecycle and experience.
Users, groups, roles, and external directories form the security context.
OIDC, OAuth, and SAML connect applications to login and tokens in standardized ways.
Flows, MFA, sessions, and roles bound authentication and authorization.
Keycloak centralizes login and reduces custom authentication logic. High availability, key rotation, secure client configuration, admin permissions, session behavior, and regular updates are critical to the entire application landscape.
