I know how to access some variable information in Keycloak E-Mail templates. E.g.:

```auto
user.getUsername()
user.getEmail()
user.getFirstName()
user.getLastName()

```

But I need to access client specific variables. The Keycloak Java Code shows there is all information I need in the `ClientModel` Java Class: [https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/blob/main/server-spi/src/main/java/org/keycloak/models/ClientModel.java](https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/blob/main/server-spi/src/main/java/org/keycloak/models/ClientModel.java)

```auto
client.getClientId()
client.getName()
client.getDescription()
client.getRootUrl()
client.getBaseUrl()
client.getAttribute(name)

```

And the `client_id=account` Query Parameter is also set on the page, where the password reset action is triggered:

`https://example.com/auth/realms/my-realm/login-actions/reset-credentials?client_id=account&tab_id=bQiVx012SZg`

The information is set on the client:

But the client varaible seems to be unset while the email template gets rendered.

```auto
# password-reset.ftl

# This does NOT work
${client.name}

# This does NOT work
${kcSanitize(msg("clientinfohtml",client.getName()))?no_esc}

```

The defaults are implemented in the `FreeMarkerEmailTemplateProvider`. If this isn’t enough for you, you’ll have to implement your own custom `EmailTemplateProvider` (with according factory class of course) and register it properly.
