NOTE: If you are Red Hat customer, install redhat.rhbk (for Red Hat Build of Keycloak) or redhat.sso (for Red Hat Single Sign-On) from Automation Hub as the certified version of this collection.

Collection to install and configure Keycloak or Red Hat Single Sign-On / Red Hat Build of Keycloak.

Ansible version compatibility

This collection has been tested against following Ansible versions: >=2.15.0.

Plugins and modules within a collection may be tested with only specific Ansible versions. A collection may contain metadata that identifies these versions.

Installation

Installing the Collection from Ansible Galaxy

Before using the collection, you need to install it with the Ansible Galaxy CLI:

ansible-galaxy collection install middleware_automation.keycloak

You can also include it in a requirements.yml file and install it via ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml, using the format:

---
collections:
  - name: middleware_automation.keycloak

The keycloak collection also depends on the following python packages to be present on the controller host:

• netaddr
• lxml

A requirement file is provided to install:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Included roles

• keycloak_quarkus: role for installing keycloak (>= 19.0.0, quarkus based).
• keycloak_realm: role for configuring a realm, user federation(s), clients and users, in an installed service.
• keycloak: role for installing legacy keycloak (<= 19.0, wildfly based).

Usage

Install Playbook

• playbooks/keycloak_quarkus.yml installs keycloak >= 17 based on the defined variables (using most defaults).
• playbooks/keycloak.yml installs keycloak legacy based on the defined variables (using most defaults).

Both playbooks include the keycloak role, with different settings, as described in the following sections.

For full service configuration details, refer to the keycloak role README.

Install from controller node (offline)

Making the keycloak zip archive available to the playbook working directory, and setting keycloak_offline_install to true, allows to skip the download tasks. The local path for the archive does match the downloaded archive path, so that it is also used as a cache when multiple hosts are provisioned in a cluster.

keycloak_offline_install: true

Install from alternate sources (like corporate Nexus, artifactory, proxy, etc)

It is possible to perform downloads from alternate sources, using the keycloak_download_url variable; make sure the final downloaded filename matches with the source filename (ie. keycloak-legacy-x.y.zip or rh-sso-x.y.z-server-dist.zip).

Example installation command

Execute the following command from the source root directory

ansible-playbook -i <ansible_hosts> -e @rhn-creds.yml playbooks/keycloak.yml -e keycloak_admin_password=<changeme>

• keycloak_admin_password Password for the administration console user account.

• ansible_hosts is the inventory, below is an example inventory for deploying to localhost

  [keycloak]
  localhost ansible_connection=local
  

Note: when deploying clustered configurations, all hosts belonging to the cluster must be present in ansible_play_batch; ie. they must be targeted by the same ansible-playbook execution.

Configuration

Config Playbook

playbooks/keycloak_realm.yml creates or updates provided realm, user federation(s), client(s), client role(s) and client user(s).

Example configuration command

Execute the following command from the source root directory:
