<title > Database Configuration</title>
<para >
The datasource used to store Keycloak data is configured in the <literal > .../standalone/deployments/keycloak-ds.xml</literal>
2014-02-19 14:03:32 +00:00
file of your Keycloak Server installation if you used <xref linkend= "WAR_distribution_installation" /> or in <literal > .../standalone/configuration/standalone.xml</literal>
if you used <xref linkend= "Appliance_install" /> . File <literal > keycloak-ds.xml</literal> is used in WAR
distribution, so that you have datasource available out of the box and you don't need to edit <literal > standalone.xml</literal> file.
However a good thing is to always delete the file <literal > keycloak-ds.xml</literal> and move its configuration text
into the centrally managed <literal > standalone.xml</literal> file.
This will allow you to manage the database connection pool from the Wildfly/JBoss administration console. Here's what
2014-01-13 01:57:31 +00:00
<literal > .../standalone/configuration/standalone.xml</literal> should look like after you've done this:

<para >
Besides moving the database config into the central <literal > standalone.xml</literal> configuration file
2014-02-18 10:36:58 +00:00
you might want to use a better relational database for Keycloak like PostgreSQL or MySQL. You might also
2014-01-13 01:57:31 +00:00
want to tweak the configuration settings of the datasource. Please see the <ulink url= "https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/WFLY8/DataSource+configuration" > Wildfly</ulink> ,
<ulink url= "https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/DataSource+configuration" > JBoss AS7</ulink> ,
or <ulink url= "https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/DataSource+configuration" > JBoss EAP 6.x</ulink> documentation on how to do this.

Keycloak also runs on a Hibernate/JPA backend which is configured in the
<literal > .../standalone/deployments/auth-server.war/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml</literal> .
Please see the <ulink url= "http://hibernate.org/orm/documentation/" > Hibernate and JPA documentation</ulink> for more information on tweaking the backend datamodel.

<section >
<title > Tested databases</title>
<para >
Here is list of RDBMS databases and corresponding JDBC drivers, which were tested with Keycloak. Note that Hibernate dialect
is usually set automatically according to your database, but in some cases, you must manually set the proper dialect,
as the default dialect may not work correctly. You can setup dialect either by adding property <literal > hibernate.dialect</literal>
to the <literal > persistence.xml</literal> file mentioned above or simply by adding system property <literal > hibernate.dialect</literal>
with corresponding value. For example, if you are using MS-SQL you can start keycloak with command:
<programlisting > < ![CDATA[
./standalone.sh -Dhibernate.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServer2008Dialect
2014-02-19 16:43:11 +00:00
]]></programlisting>
2014-02-19 15:16:15 +00:00
This command will set system property <literal > hibernate.dialect</literal> to value <literal > org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServer2008Dialect</literal>
and this one will take precedence over the value from <literal > persistence.xml</literal> file.

<title > MongoDB based model</title>
<para >
Keycloak provides <ulink url= "http://www.mongodb.com" > MongoDB</ulink> based model implementation, which means that your identity data will be saved
in MongoDB instead of traditional RDBMS. To setup it, you need to add few system properties when running Keycloak.
First you need to specify that you want to use <literal > mongo</literal> instead of default <literal > jpa</literal> model, and you may also specify
host, port and name of mongo database. So you can start keycloak with the command like this:
<programlisting > < ![CDATA[
./standalone.sh -Dkeycloak.model=mongo -Dkeycloak.mongo.host=localhost
-Dkeycloak.mongo.port=27017 -Dkeycloak.mongo.db=keycloak
]]></programlisting>
Note that when you install MongoDB on your laptop, it's usually on localhost/270717 by default. That's why properties
<literal > keycloak.mongo.host</literal> and <literal > keycloak.mongo.port</literal> are not mandatory, but they already have
default values <literal > localhost</literal> and <literal > 27017</literal> . Similarly property <literal > keycloak.mongo.db</literal>
has default value <literal > keycloak</literal> for name of underlying database. So the example above could be simplified like:
<programlisting > < ![CDATA[
./standalone.sh -Dkeycloak.model=mongo
]]></programlisting>
If you switch to Mongo model, it could be a good idea to remove RDBMS related stuff from your distribution to reduce startup time and memory footprint.
To do it, you need to:
<itemizedlist >
<listitem > Comment/remove datasource <literal > KeycloakDS</literal> from <literal > standalone/configuration/standalone.xml</literal> or <literal > standalone/deployments/keycloak-ds.xml</literal> </listitem>

<title > SSL/HTTPS Setup</title>
<warning >
<para >
Keycloak is not set up by default to handle SSL/HTTPS in either the
war distribution or appliance. It is highly recommended that you enable it!
</para>
</warning>
<para >
The following things need to be done
<itemizedlist >
<listitem >
Generate a self signed or third-party signed certificate and import it into a Java keystore
using <literal > keytool</literal> .
</listitem>
<listitem >
Enable JBoss or Wildfly to use this certificate and turn on SSL/HTTPS.

</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
</para>
<section >
<title > Creating the Certificate and Java Keystore</title>
<para >
In order to allow HTTPS connections, you need to obtain a self signed or third-party signed certificate
and import it into a Java keystore before you can enable HTTPS in the web container you are deploying
the Keycloak Server to.
</para>
<section >
<title > Self Signed Certificate</title>
<para >
In development, you will probably not have a third party signed certificate available to test
a Keycloak deployment so you'll need to generate a self-signed on. Generate one is very easy
to do with the <literal > keytool</literal> utility that comes with the Java jdk.
</para>
<para >
<programlisting >

Is CN=localhost, OU=Keycloak, O=Test, L=Westford, ST=MA, C=US correct?
[no]: yes
</programlisting>
</para>
<para >
You should answer the <literal > What is your first and last name?</literal> question with
the DNS name of the machine you're installing the server on. For testing purposes,
<literal > localhost</literal> should be used. After executing this command, the
<literal > keycloak.jks</literal> file will be generated in the same directory as you executed
the <literal > keytool</literal> command in.
</para>
<para >
If you want a third-party signed certificate, but don't have one, you can obtain one for free
at <ulink url= "http://cacert.org" > cacert.org</ulink> . You'll have to do a little set up first
before doing this though.
</para>
<para >
The first thing to do is generate a Certificate Request:
2014-02-18 10:36:58 +00:00
<programlisting >
$ keytool -certreq -alias yourdomain -keystore keycloak.jks > keycloak.careq
</programlisting>
2014-01-13 01:57:31 +00:00
</para>
<para >
Where <literal > yourdomain</literal> is a DNS name for which this certificate is generated for.
Keytool generates the request:
<programlisting >
2014-02-18 10:36:58 +00:00

Send this ca request to your CA. The CA will issue you a signed certificate and send it to you.
Before you import your new cert, you must obtain and import the root certificate of the CA.

<programlisting >
$ keytool -import -keystore keycloak.jks -file root.crt -alias root

In Keycloak, each realm has an "Require SSL" switch that you should turn on. Log into the
adminstration console and set this switch for each realm that Keycloak manages. This switch is on
the <literal > Settings>>General</literal> page. While this switch does do similar checks as the security
constraint in <literal > web.xml</literal> , it will also force applications and oauth clients to only
register HTTPS based redirect URLs.
