Hi, I’m writing a Spring boot application using Keycloak for Authorization/Authentication and managed to integrate Flowable successfully. As I understand, the users are retrieved from the flowable IdmIdentityService and I would like to create a custom KeycloakIdmIdentityService that will read the…

Hello Please, read the following thread, and it seems the mentioned links are useful: [image] How To: Keycloak, Flowable and OpenLDAP Flowable Engine Not so long ago I wrote a series of posts about Flowable: Getting started with Flowable Flowable’s REST API - Part 1 Flo…

[image] nouhouari: managed to integrate Flowable successfully Did you use one of the Flowable Spring Boot starters to embed one of engines (i.e., BPMN, DMN and CMMN)? See: Flowable OAuth2 Resource Server

Based on the documentation https://flowable.com/open-source/docs/bpmn/ch12-IDM/ I think you should follow how the LDAP identity service was integrated. This is by creating a custom EngineConfigurationConfigurer Check out the source code of two classes to have an idea about that org.flowable.sprin…

Yes, I’m using Flowable Spring-Boot starter.

Hi Douglas, Thank you very much for sharing your article. Really interesting. Does it mean that to use Flowable with Keycloak, I need to use OpenLDAP to get the user from it ? Thanks

[image] nouhouari: Yes, I’m using Flowable Spring-Boot starter. Then you don’t need to use the Flowable IDM you can store your user’s credentials in a directory server (e.g. OpenLDAP or AD). For example: Keycloak, Flowable and OpenLDAP

Thanks for you answers, But my question is about using Keycloak alone as “user repository”. Is it possible to use Flowable with Keycloak and without LDAP?

Hey @nouhouari , Everything is possible with some code. You will need to provide your own implementation of the IdmIdentityService. Have a look at the LDAPIdentityServiceImpl to see what needs to be done. Cheers, Filip

Hi Nouhouari, I encountered same problem about using keycloak for authentication & anthorization integrate with flowlable, will appreciated it if you can share me with your spring boot application for study. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am looking for flowable-rest integration with Keycloak for authentication & fetching user and groups. Its being one of the much needed feature, is there any github repo containing in-progress work for the same that I can refer? Thanks in advance. Best Regards Neeraj Gupta
