Let's configure our Keycloak Server by creating a new Realm, a role and an user.

Login to the Keycloak Admin Console

To access the Keycloak Web Console follow this link: https://[[HOST_SUBDOMAIN]]-8443-[[KATACODA_HOST]].environments.katacoda.com/

On the landing page, click on Administration Console. This will bring you to a login form. Enter the following credentials : admin / admin.

You are now on the Master realm configuration page but let's create our own realm.

At the top of the left menu, hover over Master and a button to add a new Realm will appear, click it. Give it a name, for instance katacoda and click create, congratulations you have created your first realm !

Now we need to create a realm role, on the left menu click on Roles, this will bring you to a list of existing roles. On the upper right of the table you should see a button Add Role, click it.

Give the Role a name, for instance user and save it, congratulations you have added a new Role to your Realm !

The last step before we have a complete configured realm is to create an user.

On the left menu, click Users , that will bring you to a list of existing users. On the right of the table, you should see an Add user button, click it.

Only the username is mandatory, let's fill it with test and click save.

You are now on the details page of your newly created user. We still need to do 2 tasks :

• Give the user credentials
• Assign the role user to our test user.

Create initial Credentials

Click on the tab Credentials and add a new password : test , confirm it. You will also notice the Temporary checkbox, if this one is enabled, the user will have to chnage his password the first time he logs in. It's up to you if you want to keep it or for this lesson.

Assign Realm Role to User

The last step is to assign the role user to our test user. Click on the tab Role Mappings and in Available Roles you should see our user role. Select it and push the button Add selected.
