Keycloak OAuth Flarum Extension
Allows users to login/logout using Keycloak.
Installation
To install, use composer:
composer require spookygames/flarum-ext-auth-keycloak
Usage
- Install extension via Composer / Packagist
- Enable extension in the admin/extensions of Flarum
- Fill in the settings field for the extension
- Make sure signup is Open in admin/permissions (here's why)
Keycloak setup
Written for Keycloak version 4.8.3-final, tested up to 21.1.1, and Flarum 1.3.0. Your mileage may vary.
From the Clients tab, add a new client for your Flarum instance (or use an existing one). Root URL should be the URL of your Flarum instance.
In order to map Keycloak roles onto Flarum groups, you have to make roles visible from the userinfo endpoint. To this extent, add a mapper to your new client.
From the Realm Settings tab, find the key used by the OpenId Connect workflow (by default, RS256). Copy the algorithm as well as the public key.
Extension settings
In the end, extension settings will be:
- Keycloak version: the version of your Keycloak instance.
- Server URL: the URL to your Keycloak instance, like https://keycloak.example.com/auth. Beware the "auth" with no trailing slash for Keycloak versions < 20.
- Realm: the authentication realm you created for your Flarum.
- Client ID: the name of the client you created above.
- Client Secret: defaults to client ID if you do not override.
- Encryption algorithm: defaults to RS256.
- Encryption key (or cert): you may copy here the content of what was displayed after you pressed the "Public key" button on Keycloak.
- Role-to-group mapping: An associative array with roles as keys and group names as values, in JSON format. Example:
{"ROLE_MEMBER":"Member","ROLE_MODERATOR":"Mods","ROLE_ADMIN":"Admin"}
. - Attribute mapping: An associative array with Keycloak attributes as keys and Flarum User attributes as values, in JSON format. Might be used for other extensions. Do not forget client mappers on Keycloak! Example:
{"moniker":"nickname","badges":"badges"}
. - Delegate avatars: if enabled, the "picture" attribute from Keycloak will be used to handle user avatar instead of Flarum's default behaviour.
Troubleshooting
User created with an odd name that does not match actual user name like 'tgtplwexeowwluxnqid4cjgw' (original issue)
Flarum only allows user names that match the regular expression /[^a-z0-9-_]/i
.
Every Keycloak user with a "preferred_username" not matching this expression will instead be assigned a random name, as well as a proper Flarum "nickname".
In order to see the nickname instead of the random user name, activate the Nicknames extension and use the User Display Name driver named nickname.
