About Keycloak

Keycloak is an open source identity and access management server (Apache-2.0, Java) providing single sign-on, identity brokering, user federation and standard protocols (OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, SAML). It is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation incubation project; the admin console and account management console are web interfaces. The server image is on Docker Hub (keycloak/keycloak) and in the Arch extra repository; the legacy jboss/keycloak image probe returned 404 (not listed).
