This ready-to-use solution is configured to enhance the security of your applications from the start. Keycloak as a Service comes pre-configured with the most useful settings and plugins, so you can get up and running quickly. You’re free to fine-tune it, add your own themes, plugins, and more.
Managed Keycloak, key highlights
- Secure authentication and access management
- Deploy in seconds
- Fully customizable
- Compatible with most IAM standards
- Dedicated, auto-scaling infrastructure tailored to your needs
- Easy import and export of realms
IAM: identification and authentification
Keycloak as a Service supports most IAM standards and gives you fine-grained control over users and permissions. It integrates seamlessly with user federation tools such as ActiveDirectory, OpenLDAP, and others via the LDAP protocol. It can also delegate authentication to external identity providers using OpenID Connect or SAMLv2.
This add-on integrates naturally with your Clever Cloud applications and databases—but you can just as easily use it independently with external services.
Your Keycloak as a Service usage:
- User management within your information system (Active Directory, LDAP, Kerberos, etc.)
- Applications: multi-tenancy, multi-factor authentication (TOTP, FIDO, WebAuthn), integration with existing applications, SSO, and more
- Manage authentication flows between your different services
- Password reset and account recovery
Managed IAM: your plug-and-play identity solution
Dedicated infrastructure
No shared resources. Your Keycloak as a Service instance comes with its own dedicated resources: a standalone Java application, a dedicated database, and a dedicated file system.
Run-time support and maintenance
Clever Cloud provides updates, handles security, ensures operational maintenance, and performs regular backups of your Keycloak as a Service data. You also have access to logs and detailed usage monitoring.
Scalability and Performance
Keycloak as a Service is built to scale effortlessly: handle thousands of simultaneous connections with an infrastructure that grows with you.
- Dedicated infrastructure: Enjoy a fully isolated environment — each instance includes its own Java application, database, and file system.
- Scalability: Take full control over the sizing of each component. The default resource allocation is already capable of handling heavy loads, but everything can be resized at any time to match your growth — all without downtime or lost connections, thanks to live scaling.
Easy management and full customization
You have full control over your service, with streamlined management of realms and easy import/export capabilities.
- Plugins adapt to all your needs: use existing community plugins or develop your own custom ones—for a truly customizable and modular IAM solution.
- Simplified realm import and export
- Custom login page theming
