keycloak_client – Allows administration of Keycloak clients via Keycloak API

New in version 2.5.

Synopsis

• This module allows the administration of Keycloak clients 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 http://www.keycloak.org/docs-api/3.3/rest-api/. Aliases are provided so camelCased versions can be used as well.

• The Keycloak API does not always sanity check inputs e.g. 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		Choices/Defaults	Comments
admin_url -			URL to the admin interface of the client This is 'adminUrl' in the Keycloak REST API. aliases: adminUrl
attributes -			A dict of further attributes for this client. This can contain various configuration settings; an example is given in the examples section. While an exhaustive list of permissible options is not available; possible options as of Keycloak 3.4 are listed below. The Keycloak API does not validate whether a given option is appropriate for the protocol used; if specified anyway, Keycloak will simply not use it.
	jwks.url -		For OpenID-Connect clients, URL where client keys in JWK are stored.
	jwt.credential.certificate -		For OpenID-Connect clients, client certificate for validating JWT issued by client and signed by its key, base64-encoded.
	request.object.signature.alg -		For OpenID-Connect clients, JWA algorithm which the client needs to use when sending OIDC request object. One of any, none, RS256.
	saml.authnstatement -		For SAML clients, boolean specifying whether or not a statement containing method and timestamp should be included in the login response.
