Need to use keycloak in che deployment

[arunthomastechversant]

Summary

Hi Team,

When I use che deployment in my previous system, I'm able to deploy everything fine as well as keycloak. But unfortunately Now I'm facing issue or not able to deploy as it did last time.

I have been using keycloak as my OIDC and working on the user creation and user management via api. But after updating chectl, when I do the deployment keycloak is not deployed. instead of keycloak DEX is being deployed. I'm not much familiar with DEX and my code is prepared based on keycloak.

Is there any way to deploy keycloak alone with chectl server:deploy.

Please advise me on this scenario.

Thanks in Advance

Hi, Keycloak is no longer part of Che deployment. You can deploy it on your own and setup Dex to use it as identity provider https://dexidp.io/docs/connectors/oidc/. Or you can setup your Kubernetes to use Keycloak as OIDC and setup Che directly to use it (similar to this #21049 (comment))
