Why Not Use Keycloak? #357
Description
Someone asked the question on our call today: "why don't we just use keycloak for auth?"
https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak
In a single word: Security
https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/security
Session hijacking, DoS, XSS, Leak of LADP, Path traversal ... 😬
Unless you plan to actively maintaining your keycloak instance with regular updates,
it's only a matter of time before another critical vulnerability appears and your auth is hacked.
It's a good thing that RedHat are using it: https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-build-of-keycloak
Means that security-minded people have their eyes on it. 👀
But unless you have a system to automatically update and reboot your instance, it will get out-of-date fast!
