Keycloak is an open-source identity and access management (IAM) solution developed by Red Hat. It provides secure authentication, authorization, and single sign-on (SSO) for applications and services. With support for modern identity standards like OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and SAML, Keycloak helps organizations centralize user management, streamline access control, and enhance application security.

Key Features of Keycloak:

• Single Sign-On (SSO) with support for OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and SAML for seamless user authentication across multiple applications.
• Centralized user management with role-based access control (RBAC), groups, and fine-grained permissions.
• Support for social logins and identity federation, enabling integration with third-party identity providers such as Google, Facebook, and Active Directory.
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) and advanced security features including password policies, brute force detection, and encryption.
• Extensible architecture with custom authentication flows, user storage providers, and integration via REST APIs and Admin Console.
• High availability and scalability to support enterprise workloads, with clustering and containerization support for Kubernetes and cloud environments.
• Compliant with enterprise security standards, ensuring secure access and streamlined governance.
