Centralized Identity and Access Management
with Keycloak

By setting up Keycloak as your central Identity Provider (IdP), we help you connect a wide variety of applications securely and conveniently via standardized protocols such as OIDC (OpenID Connect) or SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language).

What’s In It For You?

Your Benefits with Keycloak

Our goal is to help companies build a uniform, secure, and user-friendly authentication architecture. In this structure, Keycloak acts as the central IdP, allowing users to conveniently log in to multiple systems via Single Sign-On (SSO) – controlled by the established authorization management via Garancy.

  • Unified login process

  • Relief of target systems from authentication logic

  • Improved security through Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

  • Future-proof connection thanks to open standards

What You Need to Get Started

Requirements for Successful Implementation

Technical Basics

Some basic technical requirements must be met for implementation. These include an existing server or container infrastructure, for example based on Docker. Valid SSL certificates must also be available to ensure secure communication between the systems. In addition, the target systems must support connection via OIDC or SAML.

Functional and Organizational Framework

At the functional and organizational level, it must be ensured that the processing of personal data complies with GDPR guidelines. Another key point is a coordinated role and authorization concept within the Garancy platform. Last but not least, close cooperation between IT security and the relevant departments is crucial to ensure the smooth integration of the respective target systems.
