Hi,

With SSO enabled you are no longer authenticating against keystone directly, and so your openrc.sh must be crafted to take that into account. For example, this is snippet from my clouds.yaml for deployment that is federated with keycloak via oidc:

----8<----8<----
  cloud_oidc:
    auth_type: v3oidcpassword
    auth:
      auth_url: https://[redacted]:5000/v3
      discovery_endpoint: https://[redacted]/.well-known/openid-configuration
      identity_provider: oidc
      protocol: openid
      client_id: [redacted]
      client_secret: [redacted]
      project_name: test-project
      project_domain_name: default
      username: [redacted]
      password: [redacted]
----8<----8<----

This can be translated into openrc.sh script that sets up proper variables (although I have no example of that on hand). Similar configuration can be done for SAML2-based integration. Additionally, not all third-party tools will work with such authentication, and for them you'll probably have to issue token and use it instead.

Setting password for user in keystone goes against the idea of SSO and introduces an issue of how to reset keystone password when one in keycloak is changed (and vice versa). Also I'm not even sure if it's possible for default federated users (as opposed to "local" federated users which work a little bit differently).

Do I need to change something in Keycloak, to make the Keycloak users work the same as CLI-created users? Where can I look in the database to find the differences between these two users?
