Authentication
The Authentication microservice is using Keycloak for authentication. Keycloak is an open source solution for Identity and Access Management (IAM). Web client users for cenTaur and censhare Server with censhare WP are redirected to a Keycloak login page. Also, users with the censhare Client or the censhare Admin Client have to authenticate themselves via Keycloak when they want to access the censhare Server. Keycloak can integrate external authentication services such as LDAP.
