Summary

Keycloak, an open-source identity management solution, facilitates seamless integration with various client applications through SAML authentication, as demonstrated in this detailed tutorial. The guide outlines the process of integrating a SAML client with Keycloak to enable secure and convenient user authentication for applications like Couchbase Capella, despite Keycloak not being tested by Couchbase. The tutorial walks through setting up a Keycloak instance, creating realms and clients in both Keycloak and Capella, configuring client signatures and SAML mappers, and ultimately testing the integration to ensure functionality. This integration allows users to take advantage of Keycloak's identity management features, providing a streamlined single sign-on experience.
