Use Cases for Keycloak User Sync

Centralized User Management

Keycloak can be used to manage user authentication and authorization for Joomla, as well as other applications and systems. This allows for centralized user management, which can reduce the administrative overhead of managing multiple user stores and passwords.

Single Sign-On

Keycloak supports single sign-on (SSO), which means that users can log in once and access multiple systems without having to enter their credentials each time. This can improve the user experience and reduce the risk of password fatigue. You can use SAML or OAuth to perform SSO.

Multi-site User Management

If you have multiple Joomla sites, or other sites and systems, Keycloak can be used to synchronize user information across them. This means that users can have a consistent experience across all of your sites and systems, and user information is kept up-to-date.

User Attribute Synchronization

Keycloak allows you to synchronize user attributes, such as username, email, and roles, between Joomla and Keycloak. This means that user information is always up-to-date, even if it is managed in the Joomla database.

User Self-Service

Keycloak includes a user account management interface that allows users to manage their own profiles, reset their passwords, and manage their authentication methods. This can reduce the burden on IT staff and improve the user experience. Once a user's profile is updated in keycloak then it automatically updates the Joomla user database after a given period of time.

Customizable Authentication Flows

Keycloak allows you to create custom authentication flows, which means that you can tailor the user experience to your specific requirements in which miniOrange can help you to satisfy your use-case. For example, you might require users to accept a terms of service agreement before logging in.
