IAM System - using Java, OAuth 2.0, User Interface,
Set up IAM System for secure user login and access control. Integrated Google, LDAP, and Active Directory logins. Added two-factor authentication and role-based access. Secured APIs and synced external user data.
Explanation of Components:
Identity Providers: External authentication sources (e.g., Google, Facebook, LDAP, Active Directory).
Clients: Applications that rely on IAM System for authentication, including Web Apps, Mobile Apps, and APIs.
Keycloak Server: Central IAM solution that handles user authentication, token issuance, and authorization.
Admin Console: Used by administrators to configure realms, clients, roles, and policies.
Authentication Protocols: Open standards like OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and SAML ensure secure and standardized communication.
Token Issuance: IAM System generates access tokens and refresh tokens for authenticated sessions.
Authorization Engine: Manages resource permissions based on roles and policies.
User Federation: Connects external user directories like LDAP or Active Directory for user authentication.
User Database: Stores user information and credentials locally if not using external directories.
