In the ever-evolving landscape of Enterprise SaaS, navigating the complexities of identity and access management (IAM) can be a daunting task. As a startup striving for excellence in user experience and security, choosing the right IAM solution is paramount. Enter Keycloak, a powerful open-source IAM tool that not only meets but exceeds the demands of modern startups.
Our pal over at Keycloakify has been working on creating a simple OpenId Connect (OIDC) library called, OIDC Spa. As with Joseph's usual approach to user friendliness, OIDC SPA simplifies a lot of the integration work than can come with adding an Authentication and Authorization layer to your application. Follow along as we show you how to integrate OIDC SPA with a Phase Two's free Keycloak instance.
Phase Two has long been big fans of Keycloakify. The work being done by Joseph Garrone is in our opinion some of the best user-focused work in the Keycloak community. Keycloakify brings the ability to theme the Keycloak frontend applications: Login, Account, Admin(coming) using modern toolsets like React or Angular and theming systems like Tailwind or Material-UI. Keycloakify allows you to build quickly and deploy themes to your Keycloak installation in a manner that the existing Keycloak toolset (ftl templates) does not.
