I’m still very new to Keycloak and am installing direct to server (OpenBSD). My first install was directly to the same server with the reverse proxy.
Now I’m installing to a server that uses a separate reverse proxy server and I’m trying to understand when or even if I will need to configure the reverse proxy to also proxy HTTP or HTTPS outgoing requests.
The docs only state that “Keycloak often needs to make requests to the applications and services that it secures. Keycloak manages these outgoing connections using an HTTP client.”
This is a standalone installation and I plan to use OIDC and OAuth.
To the secured application: Backchannel logout requests, administrative requests also.
Maybe others.
Also requests to external identity providers.
Thanks, I didn’t know about backchannel logout requests. Is it possible to send these from a different IP address than Keycloak resolves to or even specify a different interface and private network?
Would you be able to give me an example of an administrative request?
I’m not currently planning to use any external identity providers.
I discovered there is a guide specifically on outgoing requests!
I don’t know how much this dates me, but I think I prefer the long nearly doom-scroll style single page to the multiplex of guide pages.
