Keycloak

Configure Keycloak

This guide will cover how to configure Keycloak as an identity provider for OpenFaaS IAM.

1. Create a new client in your Keycloak realm with Client Type OpenID Connect.

   

2. Enable the Standard Flow (Authorization Code Flow) for the client.

   

3. Add the callback URLs for the CLI and dashboard to the list of valid redirect URIs.

   Add http://127.0.0.1:31111/oauth/callback for the CLI. If you are deploying the OpenFaaS dashboard, add the redirect URI for your dashboard e.g https://dashboard.openfaas.example.com/auth/callback.

   

4. Register your Keycloak provider with OpenFaaS

   Register your Keycloak client as a trusted issuer for OpenFaaS IAM creating a JwtIssuer object in the OpenFaaS namespace.

   Example issuer for a Keycloak provider:

   ---
   apiVersion: iam.openfaas.com/v1
   kind: JwtIssuer
   metadata:
     name: keycloak.example.com
     namespace: openfaas
   spec:
     iss: https://keycloak.example.com/realms/openfaas
     aud:
       - openfaas
     tokenExpiry: 12h
   

   Set the iss to the URL of your Keycloak provider.

   The aud field needs to contain a set of accepted audiences. For Keycloak this is the client id that was selected in the first step.
