This feature requires the Enterprise plan.
Allow users to sign in with Keycloak, an open source identity and access management solution.

​
Prerequisites

  • A running Keycloak instance
  • Admin access to create clients
  • external_url

​
Setup

​
1. Create a Client in Keycloak

  1. Open your Keycloak admin console
  2. Select the realm you want to use (or create a new one)
  3. Go to Clients > Create client
  4. Configure the client:
    • Client type: openid-connect
    • Client ID: pgconsole (or your preferred name)
  5. Click Next
  6. Enable Client authentication
  7. Click Next
  8. Add valid redirect URI: 
    <<external_url>>/api/auth/keycloak/callback
  9. Click Save
  10. Go to the Client scopes tab and verify email and profile are listed under Assigned default client scopes (Keycloak assigns these by default for OpenID Connect clients)

​
2. Get Client Credentials

  1. Go to the Credentials tab
  2. Copy the Client Secret

​
3. Get Issuer URL

The issuer URL follows this pattern: 
https://keycloak.example.com/realms/your-realm

​
4. Configure pgconsole

Add the Keycloak provider to your pgconsole.toml:
pgconsole.toml
[general]
external_url = "https://pgconsole.example.com"

[auth]
# openssl rand -hex 32
jwt_secret = "your-secret-key-at-least-32-characters-long"
signin_expiry = "7d"

[[auth.providers]]
type = "keycloak"
client_id = "pgconsole"
client_secret = "your-keycloak-client-secret"
issuer_url = "https://keycloak.example.com/realms/your-realm"

# Keycloak email is used as the user identifier in groups and IAM rules
[[groups]]
id = "dev-team"
name = "Development Team"
members = ["[email protected]", "[email protected]"]

[[iam]]
connection = "production"
permissions = ["read"]
members = ["user:[email protected]", "group:dev-team"]
See OAuth Providers in the configuration reference for all provider fields.

​
5. Restart pgconsole

Restart the application for changes to take effect. A “Sign in with Keycloak” button will appear on the login page.
