Hello all,

I have a question. Vault was selected as a tool for secret management within my company although since we use KeyCloak as our authentication and authorization server i would like to ask if someone already integrate Vault with Keycloak.

I know that there isn't yet a Auth backend for OpenId connect so since Keycloak uses OpenId connect protocol or SAML how can i use it?

Thank you.

Best regards.

Hi Mario,

I don't believe there's an integration story for KeyCloak at this time.

Best,
Jeff

Hello Jeff,

thank you for your fast reply. Would not be nice to develop an authentication backend generic for OpenId connect Providers? 
in that case you could use any from your choice and even if you want to use an external authentication source like Google, Facebook etc you could do it by configuring the OpenId connect Provider as a Brocker and it will allow you to do it.

Just an ideia:)

thanks.

Hey, 

    It would help if there is an integration of Vault with Keycloak.
    Is there any plan for or implementation in place??

Hi there,

I think a specific Keycloak auth backend is not planned.
However, we support now OIDC (OpenID connect) which seems to be also supported by Keycloak:


Please let us know if you have trouble to setup the authentication.

Cheers,
Michel

Yep, and it was tested for basic functionality too. Here are some setup steps:
