# OpenLDAP + Keycloak OIDC Lab Setup
A Docker-based lab for testing SSO with OIDC on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3).
## Quick Start
```bash
docker compose up -d
```
## Access Points
| Service | URL | Credentials |
|---------|-----|-------------|
| **Keycloak** | http://localhost:8080 | admin / admin |
| **LDAP Admin** | http://localhost:8081 | See below |
| **OpenLDAP** | ldap://localhost:389 | See below |
---
## Step 1: Login to LDAP Admin
1. Open http://localhost:8081
2. Click **"login"** on the left sidebar
3. Enter:
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| Login DN | `cn=admin,dc=lab,dc=local` |
| Password | `admin123` |
---
## Step 2: Create Test Users in LDAP
### Option A: Via Command Line
**1. Create organizational unit for users:**
```bash
printf 'dn: ou=users,dc=lab,dc=local\nobjectClass: organizationalUnit\nou: users\n' | docker exec -i openldap ldapadd -x -H ldap://localhost -D "cn=admin,dc=lab,dc=local" -w admin123
```
**2. Create test user:**
```bash
printf 'dn: cn=testuser,ou=users,dc=lab,dc=local\nobjectClass: inetOrgPerson\ncn: testuser\nsn: User\ngivenName: Test\nuid: testuser\nuserPassword: Password123\nmail: testuser@lab.local\n' | docker exec -i openldap ldapadd -x -H ldap://localhost -D "cn=admin,dc=lab,dc=local" -w admin123
```
**3. Create another user:**
```bash
printf 'dn: cn=jdoe,ou=users,dc=lab,dc=local\nobjectClass: inetOrgPerson\ncn: jdoe\nsn: Doe\ngivenName: John\nuid: jdoe\nuserPassword: Password123\nmail: jdoe@lab.local\n' | docker exec -i openldap ldapadd -x -H ldap://localhost -D "cn=admin,dc=lab,dc=local" -w admin123
```
### Option B: Via LDAP Admin UI
1. Login to http://localhost:8081
2. Expand `dc=lab,dc=local` in the tree
3. Click "Create new entry here"
4. Select "Generic: Organisational Unit" → name it `users`
5. Inside `ou=users`, create "Generic: User Account"
---
## Step 3: Configure Keycloak
### 3.1 Create a Realm
1. Open http://localhost:8080
2. Login with `admin` / `admin`
3. Click dropdown (top-left, says "master") → **Create realm**
4. Name: `lab`
5. Click **Create**
### 3.2 Add LDAP User Federation
1. Go to **User federation** (left menu, bottom)
2. Click **Add Ldap providers**
3. Fill in:
| Setting | Value |
|---------|-------|
| UI display name | `OpenLDAP` |
| Vendor | `Other` |
| Connection URL | `ldap://openldap:389` |
| Bind DN | `cn=admin,dc=lab,dc=local` |
| Bind credentials | `admin123` |
| Edit mode | `WRITABLE` |
| Users DN | `ou=users,dc=lab,dc=local` |
| Username LDAP attribute | `uid` |
| RDN LDAP attribute | `cn` |
| UUID LDAP attribute | `entryUUID` |
| User object classes | `inetOrgPerson` |
4. Click **Save**
5. Click **Action**(top right) dropdown → **Sync all users**
### 3.3 Verify Users Synced
1. Go to **Users** (left menu)
2. Click **View all users**
3. You should see `testuser` and `jdoe`
---
## Step 4: Create an OIDC Client
1. Go to **Clients** → **Create client**
2. Fill in:
- Client type: `OpenID Connect`
- Client ID: `my-test-app`
- Click **Next**
3. Client authentication: `On`
4. Click **Next**
5. Valid redirect URIs: `http://localhost:3000/*`
- Also add: `https://oidcdebugger.com/debug`
6. Click **Save**
7. Go to **Credentials** tab → Copy the **Client secret**
---
## Step 5: Test OIDC
### OIDC Discovery Endpoint
```
http://localhost:8080/realms/lab/.well-known/openid-configuration
```
### Test with OIDC Debugger (easiest)
1. Go to https://oidcdebugger.com
2. Fill in:
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| Authorize URI | `http://localhost:8080/realms/lab/protocol/openid-connect/auth` |
| Redirect URI | `https://oidcdebugger.com/debug` |
| Client ID | `my-test-app` |
| Scope | `openid profile email` |
| Response type | `code` |
3. Click **Send Request**
4. Login with `testuser` / `Password123`
5. You'll get an authorization code back
### Test with curl
```bash
# Get token using password grant (for testing only)
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/realms/lab/protocol/openid-connect/token \
-H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
-d "client_id=my-test-app" \
-d "client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET" \
-d "grant_type=password" \
-d "username=testuser" \
-d "password=Password123" | jq
```
### Decode the Token
Copy the `access_token` or `id_token` and paste at https://jwt.io to see the claims.

## Useful Commands
```bash
# View logs
docker compose logs -f
# List LDAP users
docker exec openldap ldapsearch -x -H ldap://localhost -b "dc=lab,dc=local" -D "cn=admin,dc=lab,dc=local" -w "admin123"
# Reset user password
docker exec openldap ldappasswd -x -D "cn=admin,dc=lab,dc=local" -w "admin123" -s "NewPass123!" "cn=testuser,ou=users,dc=lab,dc=local"
# Delete a user
docker exec openldap ldapdelete -x -D "cn=admin,dc=lab,dc=local" -w "admin123" "cn=testuser,ou=users,dc=lab,dc=local"
# Stop everything
docker compose down
# Stop and delete all data
docker compose down -v
```
---
## Troubleshooting
**Keycloak can't connect to LDAP:**
- Verify OpenLDAP is running: `docker compose ps`
- Test connection: `docker exec keycloak curl -v ldap://openldap:389`
**Users not syncing:**
- Make sure `ou=users` exists in LDAP
- Check Users DN is: `ou=users,dc=lab,dc=local`
- Try "Sync all users" again in Keycloak
**LDAP Admin won't login:**
- Use full DN: `cn=admin,dc=lab,dc=local`
- Password: `admin123`
**Port 389 already in use:**
- Change port in docker-compose.yml: `"3389:389"`
- Update Keycloak connection URL accordingly
---
## Next Steps
- [ ] Test SAML SSO (Keycloak supports both OIDC and SAML)
- [ ] Add MFA/2FA in Keycloak
- [ ] Try social login (Google, GitHub) alongside LDAP users
- [ ] Build a sample app that uses OIDC login
- [ ] Explore Keycloak themes and branding
