Steps to Install Keycloak Standalone Server

Prerequisites

Install Java

Install java (java-8-openjdk) in all the machines in the cluster and setup the JAVA_HOME environment variable for the same.

sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel

Get your Java installation path.

update-alternatives --display java

Take the value of the current link and remove the trailing /bin/java. For example, on RHEL 7, the link is /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.191.b12-1.el7_6.x86_64/jre/bin/java, So, JAVA_HOME should be /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.191.b12-1.el7_6.x86_64/jre.

Edit ~/bashrc.sh:

Export JAVA_HOME={path-tojava} with your actual java installation path. For example on a Debian with open-jdk-8:

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.191.b12-1.el7_6.x86_64/jre

Download & install keycloak

Download and unzip Keycloak

sudo wget "https://downloads.jboss.org/keycloak/6.0.1/keycloak-6.0.1.tar.gz" 
sudo tar xzf keycloak-6.0.1.tar.gz

Install a database supported by keycloak

We have installed postgres as the database for keycloak; you can use any database supported by Keycloak.

Documentation for Keycloak Database Setup is available here.

Install Postgres in your VM. Guide to install PostgreSQL is available here.

Within the …​/modules/ directory of your Keycloak distribution, you need to create a directory structure to hold your module definition. The convention is use the Java package name of the JDBC driver for the name of the directory structure. For PostgreSQL, create the directory org/postgresql/main. Copy your database driver JAR into this directory and create an empty module.xml file within it too.

Module Directory

After you have done this, open up the module.xml file and create the following XML:

Module XML

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.3" name="org.postgresql">
    <resources>
        <resource-root path="postgresql-9.4.1212.jar"/>
    </resources>
    <dependencies>
        <module name="javax.api"/>
        <module name="javax.transaction.api"/>
    </dependencies>
</module>

The module name should match the directory structure of your module. So, org/postgresql maps to org.postgresql. The resource-root path attribute should specify the JAR filename of the driver. The rest are just the normal dependencies that any JDBC driver JAR would have.

Create a service to start Keycloak

sudo cat > /etc/systemd/system/keycloak.service <<EOF

[Unit]
Description=Jboss Application Server
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=idle
User=root
Group=root
ExecStart=/opt/keycloak-6.0.1/bin/standalone.sh -b 0.0.0.0
TimeoutStartSec=600
TimeoutStopSec=600

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Enable SSL for Keycloak server

To enable SSL we need a certificate which here in example we will use Lets encrypt.

Follow the steps in this link to create a certificate for your domain.

We will create a keystore in which we will store certificate chain and private key and give them an alias

openssl pkcs12 -export -inkey{{private key pem path}} -in {{certificate pem path}} -password pass:{{keystore password}} -out {{output keystore name}} -name {{alias}}

Configure standalone xml

  • Go to {{keycloak folder}}/standalone/configuration

  • Open Standalone.xml and make following changes

    • Add a driver for postgres(Or your database)

      <driver  name="postgresql"  module="org.postgresql">
<xa-datasource-class>org.postgresql.xa.PGXADataSource</xa-datasource-class>
</driver>

    • Change the datasource properties

      <datasource  jndi-name="java:jboss/datasources/KeycloakDS"  pool-name="KeycloakDS"  enabled="true"  use-java-context="true">
<connection-url>jdbc:postgresql://<Host>:<Port>/{{database_name}}</connection-url>
<driver>{{drivername}}</driver>
<pool>
<max-pool-size>pool size</max-pool-size>
</pool>
<security>
<user-name>database username</user-name>
<password>database password</password>
</security>
</datasource>

    • Register the datasource While registering change the schema name if you want.

      <spi  name="connectionsJpa">
<provider  name="default"  enabled="true">
<properties>
<property  name="dataSource"  value="java:jboss/datasources/KeycloakDS"/>
<property  name="initializeEmpty"  value="true"/>
<property  name="migrationStrategy"  value="update"/>
<property  name="migrationExport"  value="${jboss.home.dir}/keycloak-database-update.sql"/>
<property  name="schema"  value="public"/>
</properties>
</provider>

    • Change network configuration

      • Inet address for both public and management profile to access it remotely

        <interfaces>
<interface  name="management">
<inet-address value="0.0.0.0"/>
</interface>
<interface  name="public">
<inet-address value="0.0.0.0"/>
</interface>
</interfaces>

      • Default ports from 8080 -> 80 and 8443 -> 443 to not give ports at time of accessing Keycloak

        <socket-binding  name="http"  port="${jboss.http.port:80}"/>
<socket-binding  name="https"  port="${jboss.https.port:443}"/>

    • Adding a SSL certificate to Keycloak Here we will give the keystore we created to keycloak

      <ssl>
<keystore  path="your key store pass relative to the next property"  relative-to="jboss.server.config.dir"  keystore-password="yourpassword"  alias="your alias"/>
</ssl>

Add keycloak admin user

Add Keycload admin user from keycloak bin directory run

./add-user-keycloak.sh -u {{username}} -p {{password}}

Keycloak server start

 systemctl start keycloak

Configure keycloak

  • Create a new Realm (eg. mosip).

  • Create clients for every module (i.e. ida, pre-registration, registration-processor, registration-client, auth, resident, mosip-client).

  • Enable authorization and service account for every client and provide valid redirect uri. These clients will be used by all modules to get client tokens.

Configure User Federation

For this example we will be configuring LDAP as user federation

  • Go to "User Federation".

  • Create a new User Federation for LDAP.

  • Make Edit Mode Writable.

  • Configure field based on your LDAP(There are many vendors for ldap you can connect to any ldap vendor based on configurations).

  • Go to Mappers and Create mappers for each field you want keycloak to take from LDAP.

isActive : user-attribute-ldap-mapper
username : user-attribute-ldap-mapper
rid : user-attribute-ldap-mapper
creation date : user-attribute-ldap-mapper
roles : role-ldap-mapper
last name : user-attribute-ldap-mapper
userPassword : user-attribute-ldap-mapper
mobile : user-attribute-ldap-mapper
dob : user-attribute-ldap-mapper
first name : user-attribute-ldap-mapper
email : user-attribute-ldap-mapper

  • Sync Users and Roles from LDAP .

  • Create INDIVIDUAL, RESIDENT Role from Keycloak in Realm Roles

  • Assign Roles from LDAP and Keycloak to All Clients

IDA => ID_AUTHENTICATION
Registration-Processor => REGISTRATION_PROCESSOR
Registration-Client => 	REGISTRATION_ADMIN
						REGISTRATION_SUPERVISOR
						REGISTRATION_OFFICER
						REGISTRATION_OPERATOR
Resident => RESIDENT
Pre-Registration => PRE_REGISTRATION
					INDIVIDUAL
Auth => AUTH

Access token expiration action

If you find that a particular service will take more time to complete the process within stipulated time period, your token perhaps will get invalidated. Use refresh token mechanism to get latest token or if that is not implemented you can increase the access token lifespan at client level or realm level.

SSL enable at keycloak

SSL in keycloak is enabled by default but it can be toggled for all request, external request, and none.

Update of configuration for keycloak
