Custom Claim

If the idToken issued by the OIDC Provider doesn't contain the blazingkraft_group, the connected user will only be restricted by the server permissions.

To create a custom claim in Keycloak, you should add an attribute to the user and create a mapper to add it to the idToken.

OIDC Provider Login

You can now use your registered providers and login using them.

Miscellaneous

When registering OIDC Providers for the first time, if you made a configuration mistake, in some rare cases you might need to clear the session storage on your browser before retrying to login with a provider.

Session Storage

If when logging in with a provider you get a no token provided error, its most likely because of a configuration mistake. Make sure that the registered issuer is exactly the same as the one provided in the idToken, for example the Auth0 domain doesn't contain the trailing slash '/', but the issuer in the idToken does. Blazing KRaft performs a strict comparison of the issuer contained in the token and the one you've registered. Therefore, for Blazing KRaft its a InsufficientAuthenticationException which results in a no token provided error.

These decisions are made on purpose for security reasons, I highly recommend that you always check the logs for more information as the Blazing KRaft provides nicely formatted log entries.

Important

For blazingly fast token validation, Blazing KRaft stores OIDC Providers in memory.

For this reason the providers are only invalidated on a single instance, if you have scaled to more than one instance of Blazing KRaft, you'll need to restart them after creating, editing or deleting any OICD Provider.
