<link xlink:href="https://www.keycloak.org/">Keycloak</link> is an

<section xml:id="module-services-keycloak-admin">
<title>Administration</title>
<para>
An administrative user with the username
<literal>admin</literal> is automatically created in the
<literal>master</literal> realm. Its initial password can be
configured by setting <xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.initialAdminPassword" />
and defaults to <literal>changeme</literal>. The password is
not stored safely and should be changed immediately in the
admin panel.
</para>
<para>
Refer to the <link
xlink:href="https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_admin/index.html#admin-console">Admin
Console section of the Keycloak Server Administration Guide</link> for
information on how to administer your
<productname>Keycloak</productname> instance.
</para>
</section>
<section xml:id="module-services-keycloak-database">
<title>Database access</title>
<para>
<productname>Keycloak</productname> can be used with either
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> or
<productname>MySQL</productname>. Which one is used can be
configured in <xref
linkend="opt-services.keycloak.databaseType" />. The selected
database will automatically be enabled and a database and role
created unless <xref
linkend="opt-services.keycloak.databaseHost" /> is changed from
its default of <literal>localhost</literal> or <xref
linkend="opt-services.keycloak.databaseCreateLocally" /> is set
to <literal>false</literal>.
</para>
<para>
External database access can also be configured by setting
<xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.databaseHost" />, <xref
linkend="opt-services.keycloak.databaseUsername" />, <xref
linkend="opt-services.keycloak.databaseUseSSL" /> and <xref
linkend="opt-services.keycloak.databaseCaCert" /> as
appropriate. Note that you need to manually create a database
called <literal>keycloak</literal> and allow the configured
database user full access to it.
</para>
<para>
<xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.databasePasswordFile" />
must be set to the path to a file containing the password used
to log in to the database. If <xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.databaseHost" />
and <xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.databaseCreateLocally" />
are kept at their defaults, the database role
<literal>keycloak</literal> with that password is provisioned
on the local database instance.
</para>
<warning>
<para>
The path should be provided as a string, not a Nix path, since Nix
paths are copied into the world readable Nix store.
</para>

</section>
<section xml:id="module-services-keycloak-frontendurl">
<title>Frontend URL</title>
<para>
The frontend URL is used as base for all frontend requests and
must be configured through <xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.frontendUrl" />.
It should normally include a trailing <literal>/auth</literal>
(the default web context).
</para>
<para>
<xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.forceBackendUrlToFrontendUrl" />
determines whether Keycloak should force all requests to go
through the frontend URL. By default,
<productname>Keycloak</productname> allows backend requests to
instead use its local hostname or IP address and may also
advertise it to clients through its OpenID Connect Discovery
endpoint.
</para>
<para>
See the <link
xlink:href="https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_installation/#_hostname">Hostname
section of the Keycloak Server Installation and Configuration
Guide</link> for more information.

<section xml:id="module-services-keycloak-tls">
<title>Setting up TLS/SSL</title>
<para>
By default, <productname>Keycloak</productname> won't accept
unsecured HTTP connections originating from outside its local
network.
</para>
<para>
For HTTPS support, a TLS certificate and private key is
required. They should be <link
xlink:href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy-Enhanced_Mail">PEM
formatted</link> and concatenated into a single file. The path
to this file should be configured in
<xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.certificatePrivateKeyBundle" />.
</para>
<warning>
<para>
The path should be provided as a string, not a Nix path,
since Nix paths are copied into the world readable Nix store.
</para>

</section>
<section xml:id="module-services-keycloak-extra-config">
<title>Additional configuration</title>
<para>
Additional Keycloak configuration options, for which no
explicit <productname>NixOS</productname> options are provided,
can be set in <xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.extraConfig" />.
</para>
<para>
Options are expressed as a Nix attribute set which matches the
structure of the jboss-cli configuration. The configuration is
effectively overlayed on top of the default configuration
shipped with Keycloak. To remove existing nodes and undefine
attributes from the default configuration, set them to
<literal>null</literal>.
</para>
<para>
For example, the following script, which removes the hostname
provider <literal>default</literal>, adds the deprecated
hostname provider <literal>fixed</literal> and defines it the
default:
<programlisting>
/subsystem=keycloak-server/spi=hostname/provider=default:remove()
/subsystem=keycloak-server/spi=hostname/provider=fixed:add(enabled = true, properties = { hostname = "keycloak.example.com" })
/subsystem=keycloak-server/spi=hostname:write-attribute(name=default-provider, value="fixed")
</programlisting>
would be expressed as
<programlisting>
services.keycloak.extraConfig = {
"subsystem=keycloak-server" = {
"spi=hostname" = {
"provider=default" = null;
"provider=fixed" = {
enabled = true;
properties.hostname = "keycloak.example.com";
};
default-provider = "fixed";
};
};
};
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
You can discover available options by using the <link
xlink:href="http://docs.wildfly.org/21/Admin_Guide.html#Command_Line_Interface">jboss-cli.sh</link>
program and by referring to the <link
xlink:href="https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_installation/index.html">Keycloak
Server Installation and Configuration Guide</link>.
</para>

<section xml:id="module-services-keycloak-example-config">
<title>Example configuration</title>
<para>
A basic configuration with some custom settings could look like this:
<programlisting>
services.keycloak = {
<link linkend="opt-services.keycloak.enable">enable</link> = true;
<link linkend="opt-services.keycloak.initialAdminPassword">initialAdminPassword</link> = "e6Wcm0RrtegMEHl"; # change on first login
