OpenID-Connect Integration with Keycloak IAM

Overview

This project aims to integrate an application client with Keycloak Identity and Authorization Management (IAM) using the OpenID-Client library for Node.js, Authlib for Python, or IdentityModel for C#. The goal is to provide a secure and efficient way to manage user authentication and authorization across various programming languages and frameworks.

Project Description

I have been working on this project for somedays, focusing on connecting an application client to Keycloak using the OpenID-Client library. However, I have encountered some challenges and would appreciate any help or collaboration from those interested in learning something new or who have experience with OpenID-Client and Keycloak.

Keycloak IAM

Keycloak is an open-source Identity and Authorization Management System (IAM) that provides APIs to work with various programming languages. It offers a comprehensive solution for managing user authentication, authorization, and identity management for your applications.

OpenID-Client

The OpenID-Client library is a certified OpenID Connect (OIDC) Relying Party (RP) implementation for Node.js. It allows you to connect your application to an OIDC provider, such as Keycloak, to handle user authentication and authorization.

authlib

Authlib is a comprehensive library for OAuth 1.0, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect in Python. It provides tools to help you integrate your Python applications with OAuth and OpenID Connect providers.

IdentityModel

IdentityModel is a library for OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect in .NET. It provides tools to help you integrate your C# applications with OAuth and OpenID Connect providers.
