The design choice of keystone sso
The problem is about keystone with sso The situation: 1. the cloud based on OpenStack has use keystone to build its own user account system, and no third user account like ldap or google accounts 2. the cloud may have multi web application/entrance and have multi domain name, so we need sso So there are two choice to implement sso 1. use CAS or other open source components as sso service and use database authentication which query keystone database.(I think it's odd) 2. use cookies(including keystone token) between multi web application/entrance which is the better choice? I think if we use only users from keystone, it's not necessary to use an extra sso service.
We have this very same design. Why not just use Keycloak (with either SAML or OIDC) and OpenStack. At the end of the day, that is why you use Keycloak. Remember, when using Keycloak or any other identity management system, you are offloading the identity management to another system (out of your application). Then, your applications/”service providers” only need to worry about the service/resource being delivered, and the authentication and identity management is executed in the identity management system (Keycloak in your case).
