    <title>Identity Broker</title>

    <para>
        An Identity Broker is an intermediary service that connects multiple service providers with different identity providers.
        As an intermediary service, the identity broker is responsible to create a trust relationship with an external
        identity provider in order to use its identities to access internal services exposed by service providers.
    </para>

    <para>
        From an user perspective, an identity broker provides an user-centric and centralized way to manage identities across
        different security domains or realms, where an existing account can be linked with one or more identities from different
        identity providers or even created based on the identity information obtained from them.
    </para>

    <para>
        An identity provider is usually based on a specific protocol in order to authenticate and communicate authentication and
        authorization information to their users. It can be a social provider such as Facebook, Google or Twitter, a business partner
        which you want to allow its users to access your services or a cloud-based identity service that you want to integrate with.
        Usually, identity providers are based on the following protocols:

        <title>Overview</title>

        <para>
            When using Keycloak as an identity broker, users are not forced to provide their credentials in order to
            authenticate in a specific realm. Instead of that, they are presented with a list of identity providers from
            where they can pick one and authenticate. You can also configure a hard-coded default broker.  In this case
            the user will not be given a choice, but instead be redirected directly the the parent broker.
            The following diagram demonstrates the steps involved when using
            Keycloak to broker an external identity provider:

                    Keycloak issues an authentication request to the target identity provider asking for authentication and the
                    user is redirect to the login page or just to a consent page in the identity provider.
                    The connection properties and other configuration options for the identity provider were previously
                    set by the administrator in the admin console.

            <listitem>
                <para>
                    User provides his credentials or consent in order to authenticate in the identity provider.

            <listitem>
                <para>
                    Upon a successful authentication by the identity provider, the user is redirected back to Keycloak
                    with an authentication response. Usually this response contains a security token that will be used
                    by Keycloak to trust the authentication performed by the identity provider and retrieve information
                    about the user.
                </para>
            </listitem>
            <listitem>
                <para>
                    Now Keycloak is going to check if the response from the identity provider is valid. If valid, it will create an user
                    or just skip that if the user already exists. If it is a new user, Keycloak will ask informations about the user to the identity provider
                    (or just read that from a security token) and create the user locally. This is what we call <emphasis>identity federation</emphasis>.
                    If the user already exists Keycloak will ask him to link the identity returned from the identity provider
                    with his existing account. A process that we call <emphasis>account linking</emphasis>.
                    At the end of this step, Keycloak authenticates the user and issues its own token in order to access
                    the requested resource in the service provider.
                </para>
            </listitem>
            <listitem>
                <para>
                    Once the user is locally authenticated, Keycloak redirects the user to the service provider by sending
                    the token previously issued during the local authentication.
                </para>
            </listitem>
            <listitem>
                <para>
                    The service provider receives the token from Keycloak and allows access to the protected resource.
                </para>
            </listitem>
        </orderedlist>

        <para>
            There are some variations of this flow that we will talk about later. For instance, instead of present a
            list of identity providers, the service provider can automatically select a specific one to authenticate an user.
            Or you can tell Keycloak to force the user to provide additional information before federate his identity.
        </para>

        <note>
            <para>
                Different protocols may require different authentication flows. At this moment, all the identity providers
                supported by KeyCloak use a flow just like described above. However, despite the protocol in use, user experience should
                be pretty much the same.
            </para>
        </note>

        <para>
            As you may notice, at the end of the authentication process Keycloak will always issue its own token
            to service providers, what means that service providers are completely decoupled from external identity providers.
            They don't need to know which protocol (eg.: SAML, OpenID Connect, oAuth, etc) was used or how the user's
            identity was validated. They only need to know about Keycloak !

        <title>Configuration</title>
        <para>
            The identity broker configuration is all based on identity providers. Identity providers are created for each
            realm and by default they are enabled for every single application. That means that users from a realm can use any
            of the registered identity providers when signing in to an application.
        </para>
        <para>
            In order to create an identity provider, follow these steps:

                    You should now be able to see a table that lists all registered identity providers.
                    To add a new identity provider, click the select box on the top right of this table and select
                    which type of identity provider you want to create.

                        Social providers allows you to enable social authentication to your realm.
                        Keycloak makes it easy to let users log in to your application using an existing account with a social network.
                        Currently Facebook, Google and Twitter are supported with more planned for the future.

                        Protocol-based providers are those that rely on a specific protocol in order to authenticate and authorize
                        users. They allow you to connect to any identity provider compliant with a specific protocol.
                        Keycloak provides support for SAML v2.0 and OpenID Connect v1.0 protocols.
                        It makes it easy to configure and broker any identity provider based on these open standards.

            Although each type of identity provider has its own configuration options, all of them share some very common configuration.

                            The alias is an unique identifier for an identity provider. It is used to reference internally an identity provider.
                            Some protocols require a <emphasis>redirect uri or callback url</emphasis> in order to communicate with an identity provider. For instance, OpenID Connect.
                            In this case, the alias is used to build the redirect uri.
                            Every single identity provider must have an alias. For example, facebook, google, idp.acme.com, etc.

                            When disabled, the identity provider will not be available from the login page and can not
                            be used by any other means.

                            When "On missing info", users will be presented with the <emphasis>update profile page</emphasis> only if some 
                            mandatory information (email, first name, last name) is not provided by identity provider.
                            If "Off", the account will be created with the minimal information obtained from the identity provider

                            is marked as 'verified' in the Keycloak user profile. This means that email verification step is skipped even 
                            if "Verify email" feature is enabled in realm settings.

            Forcing users to register to your realm when they want to access applications is hard.
            So is trying to remember yet another username and password combination.

            When configuring a SAML identity provider you are presented with different configuration options in order to
            properly communicate and integrate with the external identity provider.
            In this case, you must keep in mind that Keycloak will act as an Service Provider that issues authentication requests(AuthnRequest)
            to the external identity provider.

        <title>Retrieving Tokens from Identity Providers</title>
        <para>
            Keycloak allows you to store tokens and responses from identity providers during the authentication process.
            For that, you can use the <literal>Store Token</literal> configuration option, as mentioned before.
        </para>
        <para>
            It also allows you to retrieve these tokens and responses once the user is authenticated in order to use their
            information or use them to invoke external resources protected by these tokens.
            The latter case is usually related with social providers,
            where you usually need to use their tokens to invoke methods on their APIs.
        </para>
        <para>
            To retrieve a token for a particular identity provider you need to send a request as follows:
        </para>
        <programlisting language="JAVA"><![CDATA[GET /auth/realms/{realm}/broker/{provider_alias}/token HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8080
Authorization: Bearer {keycloak_access_token}]]></programlisting>
        <para>
            In this case, given that you are accessing an protected service in Keycloak, you need to send the access token
            issued by Keycloak during the user authentication.
        </para>
        <para>
            By default, the Keycloak access token issued for the application can't be automatically used for retrieve thirdparty token.
            A user will have to have the <literal>broker.read-token</literal> role.  The client will also have to have that role
            in its scope.  In the broker configuration page you can automatically assign this role to newly imported users by
            turning on the <literal>Stored Tokens Readable</literal> switch.
        </para>
        <note>
            <para>
                If your application is not at the same origin as the authentication server, make sure you have properly configured CORS.

        <title>Automatically Select and Identity Provider</title>
        <para>
            Applications can automatically select an identity provider in order to authenticate an user. In this case, the user will not be presented to the login page but automatically redirected to the identity provider.
        </para>
        <para>
            Keycloak supports a specific HTTP query parameter that you can use as a hint to tell the server which identity provider should be used to authenticate the user.
        </para>
        <para>
            For that, you can append the <literal>kc_idp_hint</literal> as a query parameter to your application url, as follows:
        </para>
        <programlisting language="JAVA"><![CDATA[GET /myapplication.com?kc_idp_hint=facebook HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8080]]></programlisting>
        <para>
            In this case, is expected that your realm has an identity provider with an alias <literal>facebook</literal>.
        </para>
        <para>
            If you are using <literal>keycloak.js</literal> adapter, you can also achieve the same behavior:
        </para>
        <programlisting language="JAVA"><![CDATA[var keycloak = new Keycloak('keycloak.json');

keycloak.createLoginUrl({
	idpHint: 'facebook'
});]]></programlisting>

        <title>Mapping/Importing SAML and OIDC Metadata</title>
        <para>
            You can import SAML assertion data, OpenID Connect ID Token claims, and Keycloak access token claims
            into new users that are imported from a brokered IDP.  After you configure a broker, you'll see a <literal>Mappers</literal>
            button appear.  Click on that and you'll get to the list of mappers that are assigned to this broker.  There is a
            <literal>Create</literal> button on this page.  Clicking on this create button allows you to create a broker mapper.
            Broker mappers can import SAML attributes or OIDC ID/Access token claims into user attributes.  You can assign
            a role mapping to a user if a claim or external role exists.  There's a bunch of options here so just mouse over
            the tool tips to see what each mapper can do for you.

        <title>Mapping/Importing User profile data from Social Identity Provider</title>
        <para>
            You can import user profile data provided by social identity providers like Google, GitHub, LinkedIn, Stackoverflow and Facebook 
            into new Keycloak user created from given social accounts. After you configure a broker, you'll see a <literal>Mappers</literal>
            button appear. Click on that and you'll get to the list of mappers that are assigned to this broker. There is a
            <literal>Create</literal> button on this page. Clicking on this create button allows you to create a broker mapper.
            "Attribute Importer" mapper allows you to define path in JSON user profile data provided by the provider to get value from. 
            You can use dot notation for nesting and square brackets to access fields in array by index. For example 'contact.address[0].country'. 
            Then you can define name of Keycloak's user profile attribute this value is stored into.
				</para>
				<para>             
            To investigate structure of user profile JSON data provided by social providers you can enable <literal>DEBUG</literal> level for 
            logger <literal>org.keycloak.social.user_profile_dump</literal> and login using given provider. Then you can find user profile 
            JSON structure in Keycloak log file. 
        </para>

        <title>User Session Data</title>
        <para>
           After a user logs in from the external IDP, there's some additional user session note data that Keycloak stores that you
            can access.  This data can be propagated to the client requesting a login
            via the token or SAML assertion being passed back to it by using an appropriate client mapper.

                        <para>
                            This is the IDP alias of the broker used to perform the login.
                        </para>

        <title>Examples</title>
        <para>
            Keycloak provides some useful examples about how to use it as an identity broker.
            Take a look at <literal>{KEYCLOAK_HOME}/examples/broker</literal> for more details.
        </para>
        <para>
            Each example application has its own README file where you can find additional information about how to configure Keycloak and
            run it.
