Keycloak is Java-based open-source software for identity and access management for web and local applications, enterprise systems, and services in general. It acts as an identity provider (IdP) and enables user registration, management, and authentication using single sign-on (SSO).
Keycloak enables developers and administrators to integrate central authentication mechanisms such as OpenID Connect, OAuth2, and SAML. It supports multi-factor authentication (MFA), integration into LDAP and Active Directory, as well as multi-tenancy, albeit with some limitations.
In addition, Keycloak offers role and rights management and allows users to log in via social networks or external identity providers.
