# Set the password
docker exec guacamole-compose_keycloak_1 \
  /opt/jboss/keycloak/bin/kcadm.sh \

TODO: add "read-only" role for keycloak

In current configuration all qery and read-roles.

TODO: make "read-only" role a default role in keycloak

To customize:

Find all instances of rfa.net, and replace them to you're liking

grep -R rfa.net | grep -v Binary

Please note: haproxy sni requires uniq certs for each backend so you'll need separate certs for guacamole and keycloak

To use

Then browsed to:

https://guacamole.rfa.net:8443/guacamole

https://keycloak.rfa.net:8443

To add users

---

Guacamole uses keycloak for identity, and uses postgres for authorization.

Guacamole's OpenID Connect ... removing the need for users to log into Guacamole
directly. This module must be layered on top of ... that provide connection
information ... database authentication ....

Because of this, users have to be added to both keycloak and postgres.

Reference: https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/openid-auth.html

---

Adding a user to Postgres

To add users to postgres, add them through the guacamole application.
