# Keycloak backend plugin for Backstage | ||
|
||
The Keycloak backend plugin integrates Keycloak into Backstage. | ||
|
||
## Capabilities | ||
|
||
The Keycloak backend plugin has the following capabilities: | ||
|
||
- Synchronization of Keycloak users in a realm | ||
- Synchronization of Keycloak groups and their users in a realm | ||
|
||
## For administrators | ||
|
||
### Installation | ||
|
||
Install the Backstage package into the backend. When not integrating with a published package, clone the repository locally and add the Backstage as follows: | ||
|
||
```console | ||
yarn workspace backend add @janus-idp/backstage-plugin-keycloak-backend | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Configuration | ||
|
||
#### New Backend Configuration | ||
|
||
1. Add the following configuration to the `app-config.yaml` file. The default schedule is a frequency of 30 minutes and a timeout of 3 minutes, please configure the schedule in the `app-config.yaml` as per your requirement. | ||
|
||
```yaml title="app-config.yaml" | ||
catalog: | ||
providers: | ||
keycloakOrg: | ||
default: | ||
baseUrl: https://<keycloak_host> | ||
loginRealm: ${KEYCLOAK_REALM} | ||
realm: ${KEYCLOAK_REALM} | ||
clientId: ${KEYCLOAK_CLIENTID} | ||
clientSecret: ${KEYCLOAK_CLIENTSECRET} | ||
schedule: # Optional (defaults to the configurations below if not provided); same options as in TaskScheduleDefinition | ||
# supports cron, ISO duration, "human duration" as used in code | ||
frequency: { minutes: 30 } # Customize this to fit your needs | ||
# supports ISO duration, "human duration" as used in code | ||
timeout: { minutes: 3 } # Customize this to fit your needs | ||
``` | ||
1. Register the plugin in the `packages/backend/src/index.ts` file: | ||
|
||
```ts title="packages/backend/src/index.ts" | ||
const backend = createBackend(); | ||
/* highlight-add-next-line */ | ||
backend.add(import('@janus-idp/backstage-plugin-keycloak-backend')); | ||
backend.start(); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
1. Optional: To configure custom transformer function for user/group to mutate the entity generated by the keycloak-backend. Create a new backend module with the `yarn new` command and add your custom user and group transformers to the `keycloakTransformerExtensionPoint`. Then install this new backend module into your backstage backend. Below is an example of how the backend module can be defined: | ||
|
||
```ts title="plugins/<module-name>/src/module.ts" | ||
/* highlight-add-start */ | ||
import { | ||
GroupTransformer, | ||
keycloakTransformerExtensionPoint, | ||
UserTransformer, | ||
} from '@janus-idp/backstage-plugin-keycloak-backend'; | ||
const customGroupTransformer: GroupTransformer = async ( | ||
entity, | ||
realm, | ||
groups, | ||
) => { | ||
/* apply transformations */ | ||
return entity; | ||
}; | ||
const customUserTransformer: UserTransformer = async ( | ||
entity, | ||
user, | ||
realm, | ||
groups, | ||
) => { | ||
/* apply transformations */ | ||
return entity; | ||
}; | ||
/* highlight-add-end */ | ||
export const keycloakBackendModuleTransformer = createBackendModule({ | ||
pluginId: 'catalog', | ||
moduleId: 'keycloak-transformer', | ||
register(reg) { | ||
reg.registerInit({ | ||
deps: { | ||
/* highlight-add-start */ | ||
keycloak: keycloakTransformerExtensionPoint, | ||
/* highlight-add-end */ | ||
}, | ||
/* highlight-add-start */ | ||
async init({ keycloak }) { | ||
keycloak.setUserTransformer(customUserTransformer); | ||
keycloak.setGroupTransformer(customGroupTransformer); | ||
/* highlight-add-end */ | ||
}, | ||
}); | ||
}, | ||
}); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
*** | ||
|
||
**IMPORTANT** | ||
|
||
The `pluginId` for the module **MUST** be set to `catalog` to match the `pluginId` of the `keycloak-backend` or else the module will fail to initialize. | ||
|
||
*** | ||
|
||
Communication between Backstage and Keycloak is enabled by using the Keycloak API. Username/password or client credentials are supported authentication methods. | ||
|
||
The following table describes the parameters that you can configure to enable the plugin under `catalog.providers.keycloakOrg.<ENVIRONMENT_NAME>` object in the `app-config.yaml` file: | ||
|
||
| Name | Description | Default Value | Required | | ||
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | | ||
| `baseUrl` | Location of the Keycloak server, such as `https://localhost:8443`. | "" | Yes | | ||
| `realm` | Realm to synchronize | `master` | No | | ||
| `loginRealm` | Realm used to authenticate | `master` | No | | ||
| `username` | Username to authenticate | "" | Yes if using password based authentication | | ||
| `password` | Password to authenticate | "" | Yes if using password based authentication | | ||
| `clientId` | Client ID to authenticate | "" | Yes if using client credentials based authentication | | ||
| `clientSecret` | Client Secret to authenticate | "" | Yes if using client credentials based authentication | | ||
| `userQuerySize` | Number of users to query at a time | `100` | No | | ||
| `groupQuerySize` | Number of groups to query at a time | `100` | No | | ||
|
||
When using client credentials, the access type must be set to `confidential` and service accounts must be enabled. You must also add the following roles from the `realm-management` client role: | ||
|
||
- `query-groups` | ||
- `query-users` | ||
- `view-users` | ||
|
||
### Limitations | ||
|
||
If you have self-signed or corporate certificate issues, you can set the following environment variable before starting Backstage: | ||
|
||
`NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0` | ||
|
||
--- | ||
|
||
**NOTE** | ||
The solution of setting the `NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED` environment variable is not recommended. | ||
|
||
--- | ||
|
||
## For users | ||
|
||
### Imported users and groups in Backstage using Keycloak plugin | ||
|
||
After configuring the plugin successfully, the plugin imports the users and groups each time when started. | ||
|
||
After the first import is complete, you can select **User** to list the users from the catalog page: | ||
|
||
![catalog-list](./images/users.jpg) | ||
|
||
You can see the list of users on the page: | ||
|
||
![user-list](./images/user-list.jpg) | ||
|
||
When you select a user, you can see the information imported from Keycloak: | ||
|
||
![user-profile](./images/user2.jpg) | ||
|
||
You can also select a group, view the list, and select or view the information imported from Keycloak for a group: | ||
|
||
![group-profile](./images/group1.jpg) | ||
This package has been moved to the [backstage-community/plugins](https://github.com/backstage/community-plugins) repository. Migrate to using `@backstage-community/plugin-catalog-backend-module-keycloak` instead. |
