Keycloak
Overview
Keymate extends Keycloak as its identity foundation, adding authorization capabilities through custom extensions and runtime synchronization. This section covers identity provider federation, external session management, runtime synchronization patterns, and strategies for parallel operation with legacy IAM systems.
