Discourse with Keycloak for SSO

Easiest solution I have done for users with keycloak as their enterprise IAM is to set up discourse saml
https://github.com/discourse/discourse-saml

configuring keycloak saml is fairly straightforward
https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_admin/index.html#_saml

Alernatively, you can connect via openID connect as well
https://github.com/discourse/discourse-openid-connect

To let users automatically login with SAML, you’ll have to disable all other authentication methods including local login. make sure that your admin account already has a corresponding account on keycloak or you’ll be locked out of admin.
