PoolParty Federated User Management
PoolParty Federated User Management uses Keycloak to authenticate and to authorize users.
PoolParty uses Keycloak to manage PoolParty users, their authentication and their authorization.
As you can see in this diagram, PoolParty connects to the Keycloak server to authorize, to authenticate and to manage the user's identity using federated identity Keycloak acts as an intermediary to manage users and their access to PoolParty. It is between the external (Identity Provider) IDP and PoolParty. It has two roles. For the external IDP, it is a service provider. For PoolParty, it is an IDP. This way, PoolParty can interface with many different industry-standard Identity and Access Management (IAM) solutions such as SAML and LDAP IDPs through SAML and LDAP protocols without having to know the exact details.
