community.general.keycloak_clienttemplate module – Allows administration of Keycloak client templates via Keycloak API

Note

This module is part of the community.general collection (version 8.5.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.general.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.general.keycloak_clienttemplate.

Synopsis

• This module allows the administration of Keycloak client templates via the Keycloak REST API. It requires access to the REST API via OpenID Connect; the user connecting and the client being used must have the requisite access rights. In a default Keycloak installation, admin-cli and an admin user would work, as would a separate client definition with the scope tailored to your needs and a user having the expected roles.

• The names of module options are snake_cased versions of the camelCase ones found in the Keycloak API and its documentation at https://www.keycloak.org/docs-api/8.0/rest-api/index.html

• The Keycloak API does not always enforce for only sensible settings to be used – you can set SAML-specific settings on an OpenID Connect client for instance and vice versa. Be careful. If you do not specify a setting, usually a sensible default is chosen.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
attributes dictionary	A dict of further attributes for this client template. This can contain various configuration settings, though in the default installation of Keycloak as of 3.4, none are documented or known, so this is usually empty.
auth_client_id string	OpenID Connect client_id to authenticate to the API with. Default: "admin-cli"
auth_client_secret string	Client Secret to use in conjunction with auth_client_id (if required).
auth_keycloak_url aliases: url string / required	URL to the Keycloak instance.
auth_password aliases: password string	Password to authenticate for API access with.
auth_realm string	Keycloak realm name to authenticate to for API access.
auth_username aliases: username string	Username to authenticate for API access with.
connection_timeout integer added in community.general 4.5.0	Controls the HTTP connections timeout period (in seconds) to Keycloak API. Default: 10
description string	Description of the client template in Keycloak.
full_scope_allowed boolean	Is the “Full Scope Allowed” feature set for this client template or not. This is ‘fullScopeAllowed’ in the Keycloak REST API. Choices: false true
http_agent string added in community.general 5.4.0	Configures the HTTP User-Agent header. Default: "Ansible"
id string	Id of client template to be worked on. This is usually a UUID.
name string	Name of the client template.
protocol string	Type of client template. Choices: "openid-connect" "saml"
protocol_mappers list / elements=dictionary	a list of dicts defining protocol mappers for this client template. This is ‘protocolMappers’ in the Keycloak REST API.
config dictionary	Dict specifying the configuration options for the protocol mapper; the contents differ depending on the value of protocol_mappers[].protocolMapper and are not documented other than by the source of the mappers and its parent class(es). An example is given below. It is easiest to obtain valid config values by dumping an already-existing protocol mapper configuration through check-mode in the existing field.
consentRequired boolean	Specifies whether a user needs to provide consent to a client for this mapper to be active. Choices: false true
consentText string	The human-readable name of the consent the user is presented to accept.
id string	Usually a UUID specifying the internal ID of this protocol mapper instance.
name string	The name of this protocol mapper.
protocol string	This specifies for which protocol this protocol mapper is active. Choices: "openid-connect" "saml"
protocolMapper string	The Keycloak-internal name of the type of this protocol-mapper. While an exhaustive list is impossible to provide since this may be extended through SPIs by the user of Keycloak, by default Keycloak as of 3.4 ships with at least: docker-v2-allow-all-mapper oidc-address-mapper oidc-full-name-mapper oidc-group-membership-mapper oidc-hardcoded-claim-mapper oidc-hardcoded-role-mapper oidc-role-name-mapper oidc-script-based-protocol-mapper oidc-sha256-pairwise-sub-mapper oidc-usermodel-attribute-mapper oidc-usermodel-client-role-mapper oidc-usermodel-property-mapper oidc-usermodel-realm-role-mapper oidc-usersessionmodel-note-mapper saml-group-membership-mapper saml-hardcode-attribute-mapper saml-hardcode-role-mapper saml-role-list-mapper saml-role-name-mapper saml-user-attribute-mapper saml-user-property-mapper saml-user-session-note-mapper An exhaustive list of available mappers on your installation can be obtained on the admin console by going to Server Info -> Providers and looking under ‘protocol-mapper’.
realm string	Realm this client template is found in. Default: "master"
state string	State of the client template. On present, the client template will be created (or updated if it exists already). On absent, the client template will be removed if it exists Choices: "present" ← (default) "absent"
token string added in community.general 3.0.0	Authentication token for Keycloak API.
validate_certs boolean	Verify TLS certificates (do not disable this in production). Choices: false true ← (default)

Attributes

Attribute	Support	Description
check_mode	Support: full	Can run in check_mode and return changed status prediction without modifying target.
diff_mode	Support: full	Will return details on what has changed (or possibly needs changing in check_mode), when in diff mode.

Notes

Note

• The Keycloak REST API defines further fields (namely bearerOnly, consentRequired, standardFlowEnabled, implicitFlowEnabled, directAccessGrantsEnabled, serviceAccountsEnabled, publicClient, and frontchannelLogout) which, while available with keycloak_client, do not have any effect on Keycloak client-templates and are discarded if supplied with an API request changing client-templates. As such, they are not available through this module.
