How It Works
Technical Highlights
Brokering Architecture
Keycloak acts as an identity broker that federates authentication to external identity providers via SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, and OAuth 2.0. The broker translates external tokens into Keycloak sessions, enabling applications to integrate with a single IdP while supporting hundreds of upstream providers transparently.
Identity Provider Gallery
Pre-built connectors for enterprise providers (Okta, Azure AD, PingFederate, ADFS) and social providers (Google, GitHub, Apple, Facebook) are available out of the box. Custom OIDC and SAML providers can be added via configuration without code, supporting any standards-compliant identity provider in minutes.
Token Mapping
Protocol mappers transform external identity claims into a normalized token format that applications consume. Custom mappers can enrich tokens with data from user storage, external APIs, or organization membership, ensuring that downstream services receive consistent, well-structured identity claims regardless of the upstream provider.
Why in 2026
Your customers use different IdPs. Brokering lets you support them all from a single Keycloak deployment.
