Keycloak (Identity and Access Management)

[lukasmay]

Simulation Goal: Simulate a complex Identity and Access Management (IAM) service, providing features like Single Sign-On (SSO), user federation, and token-based authentication for modern security flows.

Simulation Steps:

• Pull Image: Download the official Keycloak image (e.g., quay.io/keycloak/keycloak:latest).
• Configure: Set environment variables for the admin user and password. Configure a database connection (often an external DB like PostgreSQL).
• Run Container: Start the container, mapping port 8080 or 8443.
• Verification/Setup: Access the Keycloak administration console via a browser (e.g., http://localhost:<host_port>/admin) and create a test Realm and a test Client.

Key Metrics/Outputs: Successful login to the admin console, successful creation of a Realm and Client, container logs showing startup without errors.
