Keycloak: The Open-Source IAM for Modern Applications - Alexander Schwartz, Red Hat & Yuuichi Nakamura, Hitachi

Speakers: Yuichi Nakamura, Alexander Schwartz
An Open-Source identity and access management solution that is feature-rich, flexible, passes compliance tests and has a vibrant community? Keycloak is all of this: It supports flexible flows for user registration, password reset, strong authentication, the Financial-Grade API security profile, and other features out of the box. It's also fully scriptable for automation and has dozens of SPIs to extend its functionality.

Keycloak builds on top of industry security standard protocols supporting OAuth2, OpenID Connect and WebAuthn. It can also bridge to existing security infrastructures like SAML2 based IdPs, LDAP servers, and Kerberos/SPNEGO. Since the first release eight years ago, it has grown its community, with major players using and contributing to it. In 2023, the Keycloak project joined the CNCF as an incubating project.

Join this talk to learn how to use it, what’s ahead for the project, and how to contribute.
