SSO Login into Drupal using Keycloak as OAuth / OpenID Connect Provider
Drupal OAuth/OpenID Connect SSO integration enables SSO between the Drupal site and Keycloak. This setup guide helps in configuring Single Sign-On (SSO) between the Drupal site and Keycloak using the OAuth/OpenID Connect module. When you incorporate the OAuth/OpenID Connect module with the Drupal site, you can log into the Drupal site seamlessly with Keycloak credentials. This module is compatible with Drupal 7, Drupal 8, Drupal 9, and Drupal 10.

composer require 'drupal/miniorange_oauth_client'
- Navigate to Extend menu on your Drupal admin console and search for miniOrange OAuth Client Configuration using the search box.
- Enable the module by checking the checkbox and click on the Install button.
- You can configure the module at:
{BaseURL}/admin/config/people/miniorange_oauth_client/config_clc
- Install the module:
drush en drupal/miniorange_oauth_client
- Clear the cache:
drush cr
- You can configure the module at:
{BaseURL}/admin/config/people/miniorange_oauth_client/config_clc

I am getting “Client Credentials were not found in
the headers or body” when I try to perform test configuration

After I click on the logout in Drupal, it sends me back to
the Drupal homepage. However, when I try to login with other user, it doesn’t ask me to login but
automatically logs me in with same user
The logout functionality you’ve mentioned here is the default behavior of a module. It’s logging you out of Drupal but not from your Application/Provider. To allow the module to logout from your provider/application account (what you are looking for), you need to make the below configurations: [know more]
I purchased the paid Drupal module and replaced it with
the free module, but still I am not able to use paid features.
As you have upgraded to one of our paid versions of the Drupal module and replaced the free module with the paid one, you must first activate the paid module. Please refer to the below steps. [Know more]
