Senior Software Engineer, zooplus

Responsibilities: 

  • Working on a company cross-cutting topics.
  • Making the architectural design and implementation in the Cloud. Working closely with other development teams daily.
  • Defining and developing distributed microservices-based architecture—particular accent on security and microservices authorization, following the principles of DevOps.

Keycloak authorization scenario:

Permission and role/group-based authorization with decentralized user access management.

The system is based on the Keycloak cluster, integrated with an external user base running on LDAP, plus another DB integration.

Keycloak has custom integration with an LDAP server that allows custom sync mappers for groups and supports event emitting via a cloud-based queue for synchronization with an external user rights management system.

Custom user permissions and group mappers are used during the authorization (OAuth2 or SAML) process. Mappers request the external user rights management system (which has REST endpoints protected by Keycloak) with authorization based on the s2s token obtained on the Keycloak level and stored in the local cache to increase performance.

Keycloak SPIs:

Keycloak is used as a central authorization/authentication point with HA cluster setup in the Cloud and has various integration with external user sources (DB, LDAP, Azure AD) with custom synchronization support extensions. Support user authorization with the usage of external permissions management system. Also, custom actions were implemented for auth flow and user account actions with user actions SPI and an extension that allows sending various events to the messaging system.

User session management SPI extension that enables running sessions backup and restores process. And much more others.
