Identity and access
Keycloak and SSO — one login for multiple systems
For companies that have more than one system and want users, roles, and permissions managed from a single place.
Keycloak is not just an add-on to a learning platform. It is a standalone identity hub that can serve as the access layer for backends, frontends, WebSocket connections, REST APIs, and external client applications — all from one configuration.
When this makes sense
- Multiple systems use separate login mechanisms that need to be unified.
- Roles, groups, and permissions need to be managed centrally.
- External applications or client-facing tools need to join an existing identity layer.
Scope of work
- Keycloak deployment and configuration
- OAuth2, OIDC, and JWT integration for backends, frontends, and WebSocket
- Roles, groups, and access logic; user synchronization and automatic resource assignment
- Plugins and adapters for platforms such as Moodle and WordPress
- Extension for external client applications
Typical examples
Several systems — backends, frontends, and platforms — need a unified login.
Roles and groups must be centrally controlled across the entire ecosystem.
External applications need to be onboarded to an existing Keycloak setup.
Business outcome
What you gain
- One login point for users across all connected systems.
- Centralized role and permission management without per-system duplication.
- A practical next step: diagnosis, sprint, or access-layer expansion.
