Adi Griever, a Back End Golang Developer, details the creation of a custom Keycloak plugin designed to handle email change events and synchronize external systems efficiently. The plugin addresses the challenge of keeping systems in sync when users update their email addresses, a feature not natively supported by Keycloak. Implemented as a Keycloak Service Provider Interface (SPI), the plugin consists of a REST endpoint and a token handler, which work together to initiate email change requests, verify the new email, and ensure data consistency by updating external systems. The process involves generating and verifying an email verification token, unlinking existing social provider links to avoid authentication issues, and notifying external services of the change. This solution effectively manages email updates while maintaining security and reducing manual intervention, showcasing Keycloak's extensibility.
