Secure User Management in TYPO3: Seamless Keycloak Integration

Keycloak is an open-source identity and access management (IAM) solution. It provides features like single sign-on, user management, role-based access control, and multi-factor authentication—all in one centralized system. Keycloak enables secure login across multiple applications and is ideal for businesses that want full control, privacy, and flexibility in managing identities—whether on-premises or in the cloud.

Our Expertise

Keycloak is a powerful open-source identity provider—but getting it to work smoothly with TYPO3 takes more than flipping a switch.

At b13, we've built a flexible SSO integration that connects TYPO3 to Keycloak using OAuth 2.0 or SAML. Whether you're managing editors or frontend users, we support dynamic user provisioning and group assignment on every login—all without TYPO3 ever storing a password.

Every Keycloak setup is different. Realms, roles, claim mappings, MFA rules—it all depends on your infrastructure and security policies. That's why we work closely with your IAM and development teams to design an integration that fits your stack and scales with your needs.

With our solution:

  • Authentication and authorization are handled entirely by Keycloak
  • TYPO3 stays clean, secure, and password-free
  • User groups and access levels are applied dynamically
  • MFA and login policies remain consistent across all platforms

If you're serious about centralized identity management and open standards, Keycloak and TYPO3 make a strong pair. And with b13, you get the expertise to connect them right—securely, reliably, and built for the long run.
