Red Hat build of Keycloak
Red Hat build of Keycloak is the Red Hat distributed enterprise variant for organizations that want Keycloak functionality in a Red Hat lifecycle and support context.
ForgeOne focuses on enterprise operations, Red Hat aligned architecture, governance, supportability and integration with Red Hat Identity Management or FreeIPA.
ForgeOne designs Red Hat build of Keycloak as an enterprise identity provider for SSO, federation, MFA, OIDC, SAML and Red Hat aligned identity architectures.
Use cases
These use cases describe common entry points and help separate the product roles.
Enterprise lifecycle
Useful when support, lifecycle, operating standards and Red Hat context matter.
Application SSO
RHBK handles authentication, federation and SSO for applications and services.
IdM integration
Red Hat IdM or FreeIPA can provide Linux identities and policies while RHBK handles application authentication.
What ForgeOne delivers
ForgeOne connects assessment, target architecture, installation, integration, migration and operations. This includes role and group concepts, federation, policies, TLS, reverse proxy, monitoring, backup, upgrade planning, documentation and handover.
The key is separating identity source, identity provider, applications and infrastructure. This creates reliable operating models instead of isolated product installations.
