= Configuring {registry} authentication and authorization with {keycloak}

[role="_abstract"]
This section explains how to manually configure authentication and authorization options for {registry} and {keycloak}. 

[NOTE]
====
Alternatively, for details on how to configure these settings automatically,

====

The {registry} web console and core REST API support authentication in {keycloak} based on OAuth and OpenID Connect (OIDC). The same {keycloak} realm and users are federated across the {registry} web console and core REST API using OpenID Connect so that you only require one set of credentials.

{registry} provides role-based authorization for default admin, write, and read-only user roles. {registry} provides content-based authorization at the schema or API level, where only the creator of the registry artifact can update or delete it. {registry} authentication and authorization settings are disabled by default. 

.Prerequisites
* {keycloak} is installed and running. For more details, see the 
ifdef::apicurio-registry[]
link:https://www.keycloak.org/documentation[{keycloak} user documentation]. 
endif::[]
ifdef::rh-service-registry[]
link:https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_single_sign-on/{keycloak-version}[{keycloak} user documentation].
endif::[]
* {registry} is installed and running.

.Procedure

. In the {keycloak} Admin Console, create a {keycloak} realm for {registry}. By default, {registry} expects a realm name of `registry`. For details on creating realms, see the 
ifdef::apicurio-registry[]
link:https://www.keycloak.org/documentation[{keycloak} user documentation]. 
endif::[]
ifdef::rh-service-registry[]
the link:https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_single_sign-on/{keycloak-version}[{keycloak} user documentation].
endif::[]

. Create a {keycloak} client for the {registry} API. By default, {registry} expects the following settings:
** *Client ID*: `registry-api` 
** *Client Protocol*: `openid-connect`
** *Access Type*: `bearer-only`
+ 
You can use the defaults for the other client settings. 
+
NOTE: If you are using {keycloak} service accounts, the client *Access Type* must be `confidential` instead of `bearer-only`. 

. Create a {keycloak} client for the {registry} web console. By default, {registry} expects the following settings:
** *Client ID*: `apicurio-registry` 
** *Client Protocol*: `openid-connect`
** *Access Type*: `public`
** *Valid Redirect URLs*: `\http://my-registry-url:8080/*` 
** *Web Origins*: `+` 
+ 
You can use the defaults for the other client settings. 

. In your {registry} deployment on OpenShift, set the following {registry} environment variables to configure authentication using {keycloak}:
+
.Configuration for {registry} authentication with {keycloak}
[.table-expandable,width="100%",cols="5,6,2,4",options="header"]
|===
|Environment variable
|Description
|Type
|Default
|`AUTH_ENABLED`
|Enables authentication for {registry}. When set to `true`, the environment variables that follow are required for authentication using {keycloak}.
|String
|`false`
|`KEYCLOAK_URL`
|The URL of the {keycloak} authentication server. For example, `\http://localhost:8080`.
|String
|-
|`KEYCLOAK_REALM`
|The {keycloak} realm for authentication. For example, `registry.`
|String
|-
|`KEYCLOAK_API_CLIENT_ID`
|The client ID for the {registry} REST API.
|String
|`registry-api`
|`KEYCLOAK_UI_CLIENT_ID`
|The client ID for the {registry} web console.
|String
|`apicurio-registry`
|===
+
TIP: For an example of setting environment variables on OpenShift, see xref:configuring-liveness-readiness-probes_{context}[]. 

. Set the following option to `true` to enable {registry} user roles in {keycloak}:
+
.Configuration for {registry} role-based authorization
[%header,cols="2,2,1,1"]
|===
|Environment variable
|Java system property
|Type
|Default value
|`ROLE_BASED_AUTHZ_ENABLED`
|`registry.auth.role-based-authorization`
|Boolean
|`false`
|===

. When {registry} user roles are enabled, you must assign {registry} users to at least one of the following default user roles in your {keycloak} realm: 
+
.Default user roles for registry authentication and authorization
[.table-expandable,width="100%",cols="2,2,2,2,4",options="header"]
|===
|Role
|Read artifacts
|Write artifacts
|Global rules
|Summary
|`sr-admin`
|Yes
|Yes
|Yes
|Full access to all create, read, update, and delete operations.
|`sr-developer`
|Yes
|Yes
|No
|Access to create, read, update, and delete operations, except configuring global rules. This role can configure artifact-specific rules.
|`sr-readonly`
|Yes
|No
|No
|Access to read and search operations only. This role cannot configure any rules. 
|===

. Set the following to `true` to enable owner-only authorization for updates to schema and API artifacts in {registry}:
+
.Configuration for owner-only authorization
[.table-expandable,width="100%",cols="2,2,1,1",options="header"]
|===
|Environment variable
|Java system property
|Type
|Default value
|`REGISTRY_AUTH_OBAC_ENABLED`
|`registry.auth.owner-only-authorization`
|Boolean
|`false`
|===
