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 configurationDescription
Configure an external IdP using KeycloakConfigure an external identity provider using Keycloak, such as OpenID Connect, SAML, LDAP, or Active Directory.
Connect to an existing Keycloak instanceConnect Identity to your existing Keycloak instance.
Connect to an external OIDC providerConnect 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.
