Configure your Camunda 8 Self-Managed Identity deployment.
Configure Identity IdP
The default Camunda 8 Self-Managed deployment uses Keycloak as an identity provider (IdP).
You can choose how to configure your Identity IdP from the following options:
| IdP configuration | Description |
|---|---|
| Configure an external IdP using Keycloak | Configure an external identity provider using Keycloak, such as OpenID Connect, SAML, LDAP, or Active Directory. |
| Connect to an existing Keycloak instance | Connect Identity to your existing Keycloak instance. |
| Connect to an external OIDC provider | Connect to an OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication provider to replace Keycloak. |
note
Identity relies on a PostgreSQL. When running Identity with an external OIDC provider, you can connect to an alternative Database if your internal policies or compliance requirements prevent the use of PostgreSQL.
note
Keycloak is started as a component in a Docker Compose and Helm Camunda 8 self-managed deployment.
