At Phase Two, we are committed to providing our customers with the most secure and reliable managed Keycloak hosting platform. As part of this commitment, we are excited to announce the release of new security capabilities for Keycloak clusters available through the Phase Two Dash.
Phase Two has been storming ahead with our managed Keycloak hosting platform, dash.phasetwo.io. As part of our commitment to providing flexible and powerful hosting solutions, we are excited to announce that users can now set environment variables for their dedicated Keycloak clusters directly through the Phase Two Dash.
Phase Two has recently launched Auth.it, a modern authentication platform built for developers who want the power of Keycloak with the simplicity, polish, and developer experience of modern identity providers like WorkOS, Stytch, and Clerk — all at a fraction of the cost.
Last Friday, Niko Köbler (aka "Mr. Keycloak"), invited us to demonstrate Auth.it and explain how we built it on his livestream, Keycloak Friday Chat. If you're interested in an overview of the new platform, and would like to know the details of how it was implemented as a set of Keycloak extensions, please watch the recording of the livestream.
Developing custom additions to the Keycloak Admin UI can be fiddly and slow. At Phase Two we maintain several popular community extensions that must track frequent Keycloak releases. Below is the approach we use to develop and verify Admin UI changes quickly against a running Keycloak image that includes our extensions.
We’re excited to announce the release of Self-Service Resource Management in the Phase Two Dash. This new capability empowers customers running dedicated Keycloak clusters to directly upload and manage their own resources—such as custom themes and extensions—without waiting for Phase Two intervention.
Phase Two is happy to announce that custom domains can now be configured via self-serve right in the Dashboard. This feature is only available on paid plans.
Custom domains are a key piece of branding and trust for your users. By using your own domain, you can ensure that your users see a familiar URL when interacting with your Keycloak instance.
Read more about how to set up custom domains in our Custom Domains documentation.

Our customers have seen significant improvements in database performance, scalability, and a overall cost savings by using CockroachDB with Keycloak.
Our commitment to CockroachDB is built on years of using the Cockroach Cloud to power all of our dedicated hosting.
Keycloak tracks various "user events" to provide auditing and monitoring capabilities related to user activities within a realm. These events capture actions performed by users, such as authentication attempts, account management operations, and more.
When these events have been tracked and not purged for a long period, for high traffic installations, trying to change the retention period can lead to a massive performance problem with your installation. We will walk you through what to consider and how to safely purge these events.
As more companies build SaaS platforms, the need to serve multiple customer groups—or tenants—from a single system becomes critical. In the identity world, this means implementing multi-tenancy within your identity provider.
In this post, we’ll walk through:
We've written extensively about how to model multi-tenancy with organizations and how Phase Two's Organizations extension differs from the native implementation being undertaken by the Keycloak team.
All of Phase Two's hosted environments come standard with all of our popular extensions to make it easy to hit the ground running and cover 95% of all IAM use-cases.
