Securing Applications

Phase Two is an implementation of the OpenID Connect specification. That means, no custom libraries or code are required Your applications and services can be secured using any compliant OpenID Connect Relying Party library. There are lists maintained by the OpenID Foundation of client libraries.

• Certified OpenID Connect Implementations
• Uncertified OpenID Connect Implementations

Confused? We will also use this category as a place to provide language and framework specific guides to make securing your applications easier.

Guides

📄️ Django

The following could be applied to an existing Django application, but we have chosen to use the excellent tutorial application built by Mozilla as our example. If you aren't yet familiar with Django, we encourage you to follow the tutorial there.

📄️ SpringBoot

Sample SpringBoot application with authentication and authorization.

📄️ JavaScript

Most modern applications are being built as single-page apps. The easiest way to secure these is with the JavaScript keycloak-js library. If you are using a package manager like NPM, you can use it from there. If you are importing it directly, the library is served by the server at https:///auth/js/keycloak.js

📄️ React

Many SPAs use a framework such as React to simplify the creation of interactive experiences. We suggest the use of the open source react-keycloak library to make securing React applications easier.

📄️ Next.js

For a working example, Phase Two has a Next.js project with sample code or view a live deployed version.

📄️ Vue.js

View a live deployed version.

📄️ Nuxt

This example uses Nuxt3. There are a couple methods by which you can integrate Keycloak to your Nuxt application. We're going to explore two methods here, one uses keycloak-js and the other leverages oidc-client-ts. The keycloak-js library provides a simple, client-only method, but lacks some of the sophistication provided by the oidc-client library that is heavily supported and more widely used.

📄️ Remix

View a live deployed version.

📄️ SvelteKit

View a live deployed version.

📄️ Angular

View a live deployed version.
