Example User Federation Provider

This is an example of user federation backed by a simple properties file. This properties file only contains username/password key pairs. To deploy, build this directory then take the jar and copy it to providers directory. Alternatively you can deploy as a module by running:

KEYCLOAK_HOME/bin/jboss-cli.sh --command="module add --name=org.keycloak.examples.userprops --resources=target/federation-properties-example.jar --dependencies=org.keycloak.keycloak-core,org.keycloak.keycloak-server-spi"

Then registering the provider by editing keycloak-server.json and adding the module to the providers field:

"providers": [
    ....
    "module:org.keycloak.examples.userprops"
],

You will then have to restart the authentication server.

The ClasspathPropertiesFederationProvider is an example of a readonly provider. If you go to the Users/Federation page of the admin console you will see this provider listed under "classpath-properties. To configure this provider you specify a classpath to a properties file in the "path" field of the admin page for this plugin. This example includes a "test-users.properties" within the JAR that you can use as the variable.

The FilePropertiesFederationProvider is an example of a writable provider. It synchronizes changes made to username and password with the properties file. If you go to the Users/Federation page of the admin console you will see this provider listed under "file-properties". To configure this provider you specify a fully qualified file path to a properties file in the "path" field of the admin page for this plugin.
