## Installation & Setup

## Deployment Options

**1. Standalone Mode (Development/Testing)**

```bash
# Download and start KeyCloak
wget https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/releases/download/[VERSION]/keycloak-[VERSION].tar.gz
tar -xvzf keycloak-[VERSION].tar.gz
cd keycloak-[VERSION]
bin/kc.sh start-dev

# Access: http://localhost:8080
# Create initial admin user on first access
```

**2. Production Mode with Database**

```bash
# Configure and build
bin/kc.sh build --db=postgres

# Set environment variables
export KC_DB=postgres
export KC_DB_URL=jdbc:postgresql://localhost/keycloak
export KC_DB_USERNAME=keycloak
export KC_DB_PASSWORD=password
export KC_HOSTNAME=keycloak.example.com

# Start production mode
bin/kc.sh start --optimized
```

**3. Docker Deployment**

```bash
docker run -d \
  --name keycloak \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -e KEYCLOAK_ADMIN=admin \
  -e KEYCLOAK_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin \
  quay.io/keycloak/keycloak:latest \
  start-dev
```

**4. Kubernetes** - Use KeyCloak Operator or Helm charts

### Initial Configuration Steps

1. **Admin Account**: Create on first access with strong password (12+ chars)
2. **Hostname**: Configure `KC_HOSTNAME` for production
3. **SSL/TLS**: Set up certificates (required for production)
4. **Database**: Configure PostgreSQL connection
5. **Email**: Configure SMTP for notifications

```properties
# Email settings
KC_SMTP_HOST=smtp.example.com
KC_SMTP_PORT=587
[email protected]
KC_SMTP_STARTTLS=true
```

## Core Concepts

### Realms

- **Master realm**: Administrative realm (don't use for apps)
- **Application realms**: Separate realms per app/environment
- Create: Admin Console → Create Realm

### Users & Groups

- **Users**: Individual accounts with credentials
- **Groups**: Organize users hierarchically
- **Attributes**: Custom key-value pairs
- **Federation**: Sync from LDAP/AD (see [user-federation.md](references/user-federation.md))

### Clients

- **OIDC clients**: Modern OAuth 2.0/OIDC applications
- **SAML clients**: Legacy enterprise applications
- **Types**: Confidential (server-side) or Public (SPA/mobile)
- Details: See [client-configuration.md](references/client-configuration.md)

### Roles & Permissions

- **Realm roles**: Global across all clients
- **Client roles**: Specific to one client
- **Composite roles**: Inherit multiple roles
- Details: See [authorization-rbac.md](references/authorization-rbac.md)

## Common Tasks

### Configure SSO for Applications

1. **Create OIDC client** for your application
2. **Set redirect URIs** (exact URLs, no wildcards)
3. **Configure client type**:
   - Confidential: Server-side apps (need client secret)
   - Public: SPAs/mobile apps (use PKCE)
4. **Obtain configuration** from realm endpoint:

   ```
   https://keycloak.example.com/realms/{realm}/.well-known/openid-configuration
   ```

5. **Integrate** with your app (see [integration-examples.md](references/integration-examples.md))

### Enable Multi-Factor Authentication

1. Authentication → Flows
2. Duplicate Browser flow
3. Add OTP or WebAuthn authenticator
4. Set as Required or Conditional
5. Bind to realm
6. Users configure MFA on next login

Details: See [authentication-sso.md](references/authentication-sso.md)

### Connect to LDAP/Active Directory

1. User Federation → Add LDAP Provider
2. Configure connection (URL, bind DN, credentials)
3. Set search base: `ou=users,dc=example,dc=com`
4. Configure mappers for attributes
5. Test connection and sync users

Details: See [user-federation.md](references/user-federation.md)

### Secure Production Deployment

Essential security measures:

- **SSL/TLS**: Required for all production traffic
- **Password policy**: 12+ chars, complexity requirements
- **Brute force protection**: Enable with lockout
- **Token lifespans**: Short access tokens (5-15 min)
- **Admin MFA**: Enable for all admin accounts
- **Event logging**: Monitor authentication events

Complete checklist: See [security-hardening.md](references/security-hardening.md)

### Set Up High Availability

1. **Shared database**: PostgreSQL/MySQL for all nodes
2. **Distributed caching**: Configure Infinispan
3. **Load balancer**: HAProxy/NGINX with sticky sessions
4. **Health checks**: Use `/health/ready` and `/health/live`
5. **Monitoring**: Prometheus metrics at `/metrics`

Details: See [ha-scalability.md](references/ha-scalability.md)

## Troubleshooting Quick Reference

### Users Can't Login

- Check user enabled status
- Verify redirect URIs match exactly
- Review required actions
- Check Events → Login Events

### Token Validation Fails

- Verify realm public key
- Check token expiration
- Validate issuer URL
- Confirm audience claim

### LDAP Sync Issues

- Test LDAP connection
- Verify bind credentials
- Check user DN path
- Run manual sync

Full troubleshooting guide: See [troubleshooting.md](references/troubleshooting.md)

## Essential Commands

```bash
# Start modes
bin/kc.sh start-dev                    # Development
bin/kc.sh start --optimized            # Production

# Build for database
bin/kc.sh build --db=postgres

# Export/Import realm
bin/kc.sh export --dir /backup --realm my-realm
bin/kc.sh import --dir /backup

# Admin CLI
bin/kcadm.sh config credentials --server http://localhost:8080 --realm master --user admin
bin/kcadm.sh create realms -s realm=my-realm -s enabled=true
bin/kcadm.sh create users -r my-realm -s username=john -s enabled=true
bin/kcadm.sh set-password -r my-realm --username john --new-password secret
```

## Best Practices Summary

### Architecture

- Separate realms per application/environment
- Use groups for structure, roles for permissions
- Plan token lifespans based on security needs
- Enable session replication in clusters

### Security

- Always use SSL/TLS in production
- Enable MFA for privileged accounts
- Implement brute force protection
- Regular security audits
- Principle of least privilege

### Operations

- Automate backups and test restores
- Monitor metrics and set alerts
- Document configurations
- Regular updates and patching
- Capacity planning

### Development

- Use PKCE for public clients
- Implement proper token refresh
- Handle token expiration gracefully
- Validate tokens correctly
- Use appropriate grant types
