Hello,  
I have searched Discourse Meta multiple times, but I can’t find what I’m looking for (existing discussions either have no answers, or seem to be outdated)

We already have Keycloak running for our user management (and use it e. g. to authenticate users for our own applications).  
Now we set up a Discourse instance and would like to use Keycloak as the SSO provider.

Is [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) the correct thing to use here? Or do we need instead (or additionally) a plugin for openid, or SAML?  
What do we need to configure on the Keycloak end? Is it just standard configuration, or do we need a plugin?

Thanks in advance!  
Gunnar
