Integrating oCIS With Keycloak

#owncloud #ocis #ociswithkeycloak #keycloak

In the previous blog, we explored the general functionality of Keycloak.
In this blog, I demonstrate how we can integrate oCIS(file-sync and share platform) with Keycloak using the Keycloak WebUI.
This benefits anyone who is interested in getting hands-on experience with Keycloak.

Run Services

Make sure you've installed Docker Engine and Docker Compose.

Before setting up oCIS with Keycloak, it's essential to deploy both oCIS and Keycloak services. I'll describe how to achieve it with docker compose.
oCIS and Keycloak runs behind Traefik as reverse proxy. Traefik generates self-signed certificates for oCIS and Keycloak.

You have to create a csp.yaml file with the following contents:

directives:
  child-src:
    - '''self'''
  connect-src:
    - '''self'''
    # In contrast to bash and docker the default is given after the | character
    - 'https://${KEYCLOAK_DOMAIN|host.docker.internal:8443}'
  default-src:
    - '''none'''
  font-src:
    - '''self'''
  frame-ancestors:
    - '''none'''
  frame-src:
    - '''self'''
    - 'https://embed.diagrams.net/'
  img-src:
    - '''self'''
    - 'data:'
    - 'blob:'
  manifest-src:
    - '''self'''
  media-src:
    - '''self'''
  object-src:
    - '''self'''
    - 'blob:'
  script-src:
    - '''self'''
    - '''unsafe-inline'''
  style-src:
    - '''self'''
    - '''unsafe-inline'''

You can either download the docker code from GitHub or utilize the code provided below:

Save the above code in compose.yaml file locally and run docker command docker compose up in a terminal.

Docker compose serves three services:

oCIS on https://host.docker.internal:9200
Keycloak on https://host.docker.internal:8443
Traefik dashboard on http://host.docker.internal:8080/

Manual Steps For Setting Up oCIS With Keycloak

Go to oCIS url: https://host.docker.internal:9200/ > Note: The oCIS WebUI will not be accessible until Keycloak and oCIS are fully integrated. The discovery endpoint is unavailable, which is why the web interface is inaccessible.

Go to Keycloak url: https://host.docker.internal:8443/

Create new realm:

Realm name: oCIS > Note: the realm name should be the name provided in the oCIS environment variable: OCIS_OIDC_ISSUER: https://host.docker.internal:8443/realms/oCIS

Add a new client:

Client ID: web

Root URL: https://host.docker.internal:9200

Add realm roles:

Role name: ocisAdmin

Note: oCIS has defined role names that have been documented under Automatic Quota Assignments. So, we can't create the role with a random name.

Create a new user:

With username: admin and other information:

Create password

Role Mapping: Assign ocisAdmin role

Update roles Client scope: Client Scopes -> roles

Mappers -> realm roles -> Token Claim Name=roles > Note: oCIS default role_claim is 'roles'

Go to url https://host.docker.internal:9200/, reload if already opened Enter username: admin and password: admin to log into oCIS

Setting Up oCIS With Keycloak Using JSON Files

Keycloak provides an Importing and Exporting Realms feature. If we have JSON configuration files, then we can avoid manually setting services in Keycloak.
oCIS provides documentation to set up oCIS with Keycloak which uses JSON configuration.
If you want to automate Keycloak integration with oCIS services, then you can use json files.

In this blog post, we've talked about putting Keycloak and oCIS together. We've shown how to set them up using Docker Compose, making sure they work smoothly with Traefik.
We've also given step-by-step instructions on setting up oCIS with Keycloak manually, like making realms, adding clients and roles, and creating users.
For those who like using JSON files, Keycloak lets you do that to set things up more easily.

I followed a different path and successfully installed Keycloak & OCIS. Now I'm having issues with logging in from mobile app. The web app works fine. Any idea?
