Test Cross-Data-Center scenario (test with external JDG server)

These are temporary notes. This docs should be removed once we have cross-DC support finished and properly documented.

These steps are already automated for embedded Undertow, see Cross-DC tests section in HOW-TO-RUN.md document. For Wildfly they are not yet automated. Following instructions are related to Wildfly server.

What is working right now is:

  • Propagating of invalidation messages for realms, users and authorization caches
  • sessions, offline sessions and login failures are propagated between datacenters

Basic setup

This is the example setup simulating 2 datacenters site1 and site2 . Each datacenter consists of 1 infinispan server and 2 Keycloak servers. So 2 infinispan servers and 4 Keycloak servers are totally in the testing setup.

  • Site1 consists of infinispan server jdg1 and 2 Keycloak servers node11 and node12 .

  • Site2 consists of infinispan server jdg2 and 2 Keycloak servers node21 and node22 .

  • Infinispan servers jdg1 and jdg2 forms cluster with each other. The communication between them is the only communication between the 2 datacenters.

  • Keycloak servers node11 and node12 forms cluster with each other, but they don't communicate with any server in site2 . They communicate with infinispan server jdg1 through the HotRod protocol (Remote cache).

  • Same applies for node21 and node22 . They have cluster with each other and communicate just with jdg2 server through the HotRod protocol.

TODO: Picture on blog

  • For example when some object (realm, client, role, user, ...) is updated on node11, the node11 will send invalidation message. It does it by saving special cache entry to the remote cache work on jdg1 . The jdg1 notifies client listeners in same DC (hence on node12) and propagate the message to it. But jdg1 is in replicated cache with jdg2 . So the entry is saved on jdg2 too and jdg2 will notify client listeners on nodes node21 and node22. All the nodes know that they should invalidate the updated object from their caches. The caches with the actual data (realms, users and authorization) are infinispan local caches.

TODO: Picture and better explanation?

  • For example when some userSession is created/updated/removed on node11 it is saved in cluster on current DC, so the node12 can see it. But it's saved also to remote cache on jdg1 server. The userSession is then automatically seen on jdg2 server because there is replicated cache sessions between jdg1 and jdg2 . Server jdg2 then notifies nodes node21 and node22 through the client listeners (Feature of Remote Cache and HotRod protocol. See infinispan docs for details). The node, who is owner of the userSession (either node21 or node22) will update userSession in the cluster on site2 . Hence any user requests coming to Keycloak nodes on site2 will see latest updates.

TODO: Picture and better explanation?

Example setup assumes all 6 servers are bootstrapped on localhost, but each on different ports.

Infinispan Server setup

  1. Download Infinispan 8.2.6 server and unzip to some folder

  2. Add this into JDG1_HOME/standalone/configuration/clustered.xml under cache-container named clustered :

<cache-container name="clustered" default-cache="default" statistics="true">
        ...
        <replicated-cache-configuration name="sessions-cfg" mode="ASYNC" start="EAGER" batching="false">        
            <transaction mode="NON_XA" locking="PESSIMISTIC"/>		            	
        </replicated-cache-configuration>                                
       
        <replicated-cache name="work" configuration="sessions-cfg" />    
        <replicated-cache name="sessions" configuration="sessions-cfg" />       
        <replicated-cache name="offlineSessions" configuration="sessions-cfg" />        
        <replicated-cache name="actionTokens" configuration="sessions-cfg" />        
        <replicated-cache name="loginFailures" configuration="sessions-cfg" />
                
</cache-container>

  1. Copy the server into the second location referred later as JDG2_HOME

  2. Start server jdg1:

cd JDG1_HOME/bin
./standalone.sh -c clustered.xml -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true \
-Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=1010 -Djboss.default.multicast.address=234.56.78.99 \
-Djboss.node.name=jdg1
  1. Start server jdg2:
cd JDG2_HOME/bin
./standalone.sh -c clustered.xml -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true \
-Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=2010 -Djboss.default.multicast.address=234.56.78.99 \
-Djboss.node.name=jdg2
  1. There should be message in the log that nodes are in cluster with each other:
Received new cluster view for channel clustered: [jdg1|1] (2) [jdg1, jdg2]

Keycloak servers setup

  1. Download Keycloak 3.3.0.CR1 and unzip to some location referred later as NODE11

  2. Configure shared database for KeycloakDS datasource. Recommended to use MySQL, MariaDB or PostgreSQL. See Keycloak docs for more details

  3. Edit NODE11/standalone/configuration/standalone-ha.xml :

3.1) Add attribute site to the JGroups UDP protocol:

                  <stack name="udp">
                      <transport type="UDP" socket-binding="jgroups-udp" site="${jboss.site.name}"/>

3.2) Add this module attribute under cache-container element of name keycloak :

 <cache-container name="keycloak" jndi-name="infinispan/Keycloak" module="org.keycloak.keycloak-model-infinispan">

3.3) Add the store under work cache:

<replicated-cache name="work" mode="SYNC">
    <store class="org.keycloak.models.sessions.infinispan.remotestore.KeycloakRemoteStoreConfigurationBuilder" passivation="false" fetch-state="false" purge="false" preload="false" shared="true">   
        <property name="rawValues">true</property>	
        <property name="marshaller">org.keycloak.cluster.infinispan.KeycloakHotRodMarshallerFactory</property>
        <property name="transportFactory">org.keycloak.models.sessions.infinispan.remotestore.KeycloakTcpTransportFactory</property>
        <property name="remoteServers">localhost:${remote.cache.port}</property>
        <property name="remoteCacheName">work</property> 
        <property name="sessionCache">false</property>
    </store>
</replicated-cache>

3.5) Add the store like this under sessions cache:

<distributed-cache name="sessions" mode="SYNC" owners="1">
    <store class="org.keycloak.models.sessions.infinispan.remotestore.KeycloakRemoteStoreConfigurationBuilder" passivation="false" fetch-state="false" purge="false" preload="false" shared="true">   
        <property name="remoteCacheName">sessions</property> 
        <property name="useConfigTemplateFromCache">work</property>
        <property name="sessionCache">true</property>
    </store>
</distributed-cache>

3.6) Same for offlineSessions and loginFailures caches (The only difference from sessions cache is, that remoteCacheName property value are different:

<distributed-cache name="offlineSessions" mode="SYNC" owners="1">
    <store class="org.keycloak.models.sessions.infinispan.remotestore.KeycloakRemoteStoreConfigurationBuilder" passivation="false" fetch-state="false" purge="false" preload="false" shared="true">   
        <property name="remoteCacheName">offlineSessions</property> 
        <property name="useConfigTemplateFromCache">work</property>
        <property name="sessionCache">true</property>
    </store>
</distributed-cache>

<distributed-cache name="loginFailures" mode="SYNC" owners="1">
    <store class="org.keycloak.models.sessions.infinispan.remotestore.KeycloakRemoteStoreConfigurationBuilder" passivation="false" fetch-state="false" purge="false" preload="false" shared="true">   
        <property name="remoteCacheName">loginFailures</property> 
        <property name="useConfigTemplateFromCache">work</property>
        <property name="sessionCache">true</property>
    </store>
</distributed-cache>

3.7) The configuration of actionTokens cache have different remoteCacheName, sessionCache and the preload attribute:

<distributed-cache name="actionTokens" mode="SYNC" owners="2">
    <eviction max-entries="-1" strategy="NONE"/>
    <expiration max-idle="-1" interval="300000"/>
    <store class="org.keycloak.models.sessions.infinispan.remotestore.KeycloakRemoteStoreConfigurationBuilder" passivation="false" fetch-state="false" purge="false" preload="true" shared="true">   
        <property name="remoteCacheName">actionTokens</property> 
        <property name="useConfigTemplateFromCache">work</property>
        <property name="sessionCache">false</property>
    </store>
</distributed-cache>

3.8) The configuration of distributed cache authenticationSessions and other caches is left unchanged.

3.9) Optionally enable DEBUG logging under logging subsystem:

<logger category="org.keycloak.cluster.infinispan">
    <level name="DEBUG"/>
</logger>
<logger category="org.keycloak.connections.infinispan">
    <level name="DEBUG"/>
</logger>
<logger category="org.keycloak.models.cache.infinispan">
    <level name="DEBUG"/>
</logger>
<logger category="org.keycloak.models.sessions.infinispan">
    <level name="DEBUG"/>
</logger>

  1. Copy the NODE11 to 3 other directories referred later as NODE12, NODE21 and NODE22.

  2. Start NODE11 :

cd NODE11/bin
./standalone.sh -c standalone-ha.xml -Djboss.node.name=node11 -Djboss.site.name=site1 \
-Djboss.default.multicast.address=234.56.78.100 -Dremote.cache.port=12232 -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true \
-Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=3000
  1. Start NODE12 :
cd NODE12/bin
./standalone.sh -c standalone-ha.xml -Djboss.node.name=node12 -Djboss.site.name=site1 \
-Djboss.default.multicast.address=234.56.78.100 -Dremote.cache.port=12232 -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true \
-Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=4000

The cluster nodes should be connected. This should be in the log of both NODE11 and NODE12:

Received new cluster view for channel keycloak: [node11|1] (2) [node11, node12]
  1. Start NODE21 :
cd NODE21/bin
./standalone.sh -c standalone-ha.xml -Djboss.node.name=node21 -Djboss.site.name=site2 \
-Djboss.default.multicast.address=234.56.78.101 -Dremote.cache.port=13232 -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true \
-Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=5000

It shouldn't be connected to the cluster with NODE11 and NODE12, but to separate one:

Received new cluster view for channel keycloak: [node21|0] (1) [node21]
  1. Start NODE22 :
cd NODE22/bin
./standalone.sh -c standalone-ha.xml -Djboss.node.name=node22 -Djboss.site.name=site2 \
-Djboss.default.multicast.address=234.56.78.101 -Dremote.cache.port=13232 -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true \
-Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=6000

It should be in cluster with NODE21 :

Received new cluster view for channel keycloak: [node21|1] (2) [node21, node22]
  1. Test:

9.1) Go to http://localhost:11080/auth/ and create initial admin user

9.2) Go to http://localhost:11080/auth/admin and login as admin to admin console

9.3) Open 2nd browser and go to any of nodes http://localhost:12080/auth/admin or http://localhost:13080/auth/admin or http://localhost:14080/auth/admin . After login, you should be able to see the same sessions in tab Sessions of particular user, client or realm on all 4 servers

9.4) After doing any change (eg. update some user), the update should be immediatelly visible on any of 4 nodes as caches should be properly invalidated everywhere.

9.5) Check server.logs if needed. After login or logout, the message like this should be on all the nodes NODEXY/standalone/log/server.log :

2017-08-25 17:35:17,737 DEBUG [org.keycloak.models.sessions.infinispan.remotestore.RemoteCacheSessionListener] (Client-Listener-sessions-30012a77422542f5) Received event from remote store. 
Event 'CLIENT_CACHE_ENTRY_REMOVED', key '193489e7-e2bc-4069-afe8-f1dfa73084ea', skip 'false'

This is just a starting point and the instructions are subject to change. We plan various improvements especially around performance. If you have any feedback regarding cross-dc scenario, please let us know on keycloak-user mailing list referred from Keycloak home page.
