Hi Everyone I already create a custom event listener, it have a capability to listen to Login Event. So when a user login, this listener will persist into the user’s attribute the time his/her logged in. I also build a service use Keycloak Admin client library with Java to retrieve the user data. The problem is, when i retrieve that user data via the service, it doesn’t show the latest data of the user-attribute. Let’s say the user A logged in at 11:00 AM. The service show the 11:00 AM. But after user A login again at 11:30 AM, the service show still 11:00 AM. Is there any configuration or is there a suggestion what best practices to persist this login time via my custom event listener ? ---

Already found the solution. User UserModel to update User’s data in database ---

hi @edmaputra, could you please share how you did that? I’m looking into implementing the same thing ---

hi @alex88 What I’m doing is like this ```auto UserModel userModel = session.users().getUserById(id, realm); userModel.setSingleAttribute(LAST_LOGIN_TIME_KEY, String.valueOf(time)); ``` where session is KeycloakSession. In my case, i set the last login time value on User’s Attribute. ---

Thanks, I’ll look into how to create a custom event listener first ---

@alex88 @edmaputra do you see a chance to open source your implementation? ---

Unfortunately I’ve never worked on it as there isn’t a very clear documentation on the subject ---

In the meantime I’ve implemented this: [GitHub - ThoreKr/keycloak-last-login-event-listener: Automatically sets a last-login attribute on a user.](https://github.com/ThoreKr/keycloak-last-login-event-listener) It updates also on token refresh which one might want to prevent, but in general it works sufficiently well. ---

Oh awesome thank you! I’ll check it out! ---

Thank you so much that helped me get what I wanted! Does anyone know if it’s possible to have a listener “enabled” only for some realms? So I don’t update user attributes on all realms but only where I need to? I know I can get the user realm from the sessions but I don’t want to hardcode it into the library Update: Nvm just saw that you need to manually enable the event listener in the realm, neat! ---

@Alex Enable it on Realm level. In the left side menu, there are events options there you can add your custom event and enable it for your realm only. ---

thanks I saw that after seeing that the listener wasn’t being notified 🙂 ---

@Alex, This is another repository from there you can get an idea for Keycloak event listener. > **[thomasdarimont/keycloak-extension-playground](https://github.com/thomasdarimont/keycloak-extension-playground)** > > Simple project environment for creating custom Keycloak extensions ---
