Keycloak Authentication

The internal authentication method has been switched system-wide from Basic Authentication over to the OAuth2 standard completely.For this purpose, Uptempo uses KeyCloak authentication for communication between software modules, software containers, etc. – i.e. Keycloak acts as a secure and robust identity provider (IdP).

Authentication calls are now system-wide changed to Keycloak, as the previous method is no longer being used.

This transition includes the following functions:

  • direct login

  • SAML login

  • Autologin

  • Requesting the login data for a new user

Note

Keycloak is an open source identity and access management solution for use in modern software and infrastructure.
You can find detailed background information on Keycloak technology on the vendor's website.
