# Keycloak
|
||
|
||
Keycloak is an open-source Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution that simplifies handling user authentication, authorization, and identity federation. By centralizing these processes, it helps maintain a secure environment without forcing you to reinvent the wheel. Whether you’re dealing with standard login flows, integrating social logins (e.g. Google, GitHub), or managing roles across large teams, Keycloak provides a flexible and scalable foundation.

## Key Features
|
||
|
||
Single Sign-On (SSO): Enable users to access multiple applications and services with a single set of credentials, reducing login fatigue and improving the user experience.
|
||
User Federation: Integrate your existing user stores—such as LDAP, Active Directory, or custom databases—without re-engineering your authentication layer.
|
||
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Assign fine-grained roles and permissions to users or groups, making it easier to manage security policies at scale.
|
||
Social Login & Identity Brokering: Offer seamless authentication through providers like Google, Facebook, or GitHub, saving time by not building these integrations yourself.
|
||
Extensible & Customizable: Adjust Keycloak’s behavior using custom providers, themes, or authentication flows that match your project’s unique requirements.
