Authentication often starts with simple things, like username and password. Gradually, other requirements such as multi-factor, OTP, forgotten password, registration, verified e-mail addresses and passwordless login with passkeys will be added.

As the most widely used single sign-on and identity management system, Keycloak can help you implementing all these tasks securely and in line with the latest requirements, without having to repeat everything over and over again. Keycloak uses SAML and OIDC protocols to perform authentication and redirect users back to your applications.

In this hands-on session, I will show you how to integrate Keycloak step by step into your application landscape, use various security tools and also connect existing directories such as LDAP or other identity providers for brokering.
