Configuring an External Keycloak


SEAL Systems products use Keycloak as standard identity provider. Keycloak contains various client configurations for PLOSSYS 5 and SEAL Operator/SEAL Print Client.

If you prefer to use an external Keycloak, you have to configure your external Keycloak for working with SEAL Systems products.


Configuring Your External Keycloak

  1. Create an new realm by pointing with the mouse to the Master realm on the left upper corner of the window and then click on Add realm.

  2. In the displayed dialog, enter SEAL as realm name and confirm with Create.

  3. Get a private key/certificate pair from your system administration and add it to the created SEAL realm. For this, open the Realm Settings on the left side of the window and in the Keys, tab select Provider.
