Keycloak Integration Setup Guides

Keycloak is an open source software product to allow single sign-on with identity and access management aimed at modern applications and services.

Descope allows you to configure Applications within the Applications page. Within this page, you can configure your OIDC and SAML applications. Using these applications, Single Sign-On (SSO) can be enabled for Keycloak so that Descope can be used to authenticate into any app using Keycloak.

With Descope acting as an Identity Provider (IdP), you replace Keycloak username and password authentication with Descope authentication, while retaining Keycloak as the primary user management solution.

In this guide, we will cover how to set up Descope as a federated Identity Provider (IdP) to implement SSO authentication for applications that currently use Keycloak.

This can be done using OpenID Connect (OIDC) or Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML). Both options will be covered in this guide.
