Good Day All,

Is it possible to integrate j_security_check with an external authentication rest api?

I'm currently working on a 20 year old system that uses j_security_check and is configured to authenticate against LDAP. We are migrating to Active directory and Keycloak. We already have a microservice dedicated to authentication and is integrated with Keycloak. 

We would like to somehow configure or customize or outright replace j_security_check and have the old system authenticate against the external microservice. 

Any help and information would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian Balote

If you are making use of WildFly Elytron to handle the authentication this sounds like a scenario that would be implemented by providing a custom security realm.

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, we don't use Elytron and we are using an older version of Wildfly and have no plans to upgrade to Wildfly 10.
