This included designing complex mechanisms for maintaining large landscapes and approaches to maintain and refactor their codebase via continious integration (CI) solutions. Some of his favority technologies and topics are high availibilty clusters (pacemaker/corosync) and Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform, Ansible, Salt, Chef). Apart from wagework, he is an advocate of community supported agriculture (CSA, please look it up), which (who would have thought that) also includes running and designing IT infrastructure.

Azure AD Federation with Keycloak as SAML identity provider using external B2B guest users – Automating User and Group Sync from Keycloak to Azure AD

Here at B1 Systems, we recently had the challenge to give all colleagues access to resources in the Microsoft Azure Public Cloud. Of course, we have an existing (OpenSource) authentication/authorization infrastructure, which is not Microsoft Azure, but consists of an OpenLDAP server for legacy applications and a Keycloak instance for “all things web”. If you have the same or a similar setup, this small howto might be interesting for you.

Out in the interwebs there are 100s of guides to use Microsoft Azure Directory (Azure AD) as an identify provider (IdP) in Keycloak. But we want it to be the other way around! Keycloak shall be a SAML federated IdP for Azure AD.
