Using Keycloak SSO

hi all, I am completely new to Indico. Did anyone here configured Keycloak SSO for Indico? is it technically doable? I searched the documentation with no luck. Thank you.

Works fine with the generic authlib option and OIDC.

Should i enable it in the indico.conf file? thanks

Try something like this.

AUTH_PROVIDERS = {
    'keycloak': {
        'type': 'authlib',
        'title': 'Keycloak',
        'authlib_args': {
            'client_id': 'xxx',
            'client_secret': 'yyy',
            'server_metadata_url': 'https://xxx/auth/realms/xxx/.well-known/openid-configuration',
            'client_kwargs': {'scope': 'openid'}
        }
    },
}

IDENTITY_PROVIDERS = {
    'keycloak': {
        'type': 'authlib',
        'title': 'Keycloak',
        'mapping': {
            'first_name': 'given_name',
            'last_name': 'family_name',
            'phone': 'phone_number',
        },
        'trusted_email': True,
        'synced_fields': {'first_name', 'last_name'}
    }
}

thank you soo much. You are so helpful indeed.

hi,

I just configured the Keycloak and created realms and Clients and added above
config preceded with

# Keycloak
LOCAL_IDENTITIES = 'False'
LOCAL_REGISTRATION = 'False'
EXTERNAL_REGISTRATION_URL = 'https://xxx/auth/realms/Indico/account/'

to /opt/indico/indico.conf and restarted with

systemctl restart uwsgi.service httpd.service indico-celery.service

I got Internal Server Error message but cant find any entry in the

/opt/indico/log/indico.log
/opt/indico/log/celery.log
/opt/indico/log/other.log
/opt/indico/log/apache/error.log

if i remove this config system restart fine. Can you please give me some clue what could be wrong?

thank you

Those boolean options are booleans, not strings. Remove the single quotes. Not sure if that’s what’s causing the error though, could also be a syntax error somewhere. If you run e.g. indico shell in the terminal, you get a more meaningful error and traceback.

You simply run indico shell in your terminal (while logged in as the indico user and having activated the virtualenv with source ~/.venv/bin/activate).

Ah yes of course, authlib is not a direct dependency of Indico so I forgot to mention that you need to pip install authlib

as root user or indico user?

indico user inside the virtualenv.

It is done working now. I now can login with Keycloak into my Indico installation.

Thank you so much you are very helpful.

Final version of indico.conf was in case some others might have similar case.

Hi, another question.
I just noticed that

  1. if I hit logout from ex Dashboard https://www/logout/?next=%2Fuser%2Fdashboard%2F is called and which I suspect causing me to stay at Keycloak login page.
  2. If I hit log out from Homepage https://wwwlogout/?next=%2F is called and I stay at the Indico homepage.

I want users to stay at the Indico homepage irrespective of from which page they click logout do you know how to achieve this? thanks.

PS: I also noticed that the logout link is keeping track of user’s last page so that when the user comes back they start from the page where they left which is also very useful.

That actually answers your question :wink: You are redirected back to the dashboard page, but since this requires a login, it redirects you to the login, so you end up on keycloak again.

We do not have a setting for this…
