Keycloak is a "diplomat" for web-based login procedures, such as those used for cloud services and web applications. As a so-called login broker, Keycloak can provide users and groups from external directories (e.g. Microsoft Active Directory) and implement single sign-on and multi-factor authentication on various web applications. This course explains the concepts of Web SSO and Keycloak, covers installation and configuration and shows examples of the integration of services and applications.</p

Classroom training

Do you prefer the classic training method? A course in one of our Training Centers, with a competent trainer and the direct exchange between all course participants? Then you should book one of our classroom training dates!

Hybrid training

Hybrid training means that online participants can additionally attend a classroom course. The dynamics of a real seminar are maintained, and the online participants are able to benefit from that. Online participants of a hybrid course use a collaboration platform, such as WebEx Training Center or Saba Meeting. To do this, a PC with browser and Internet access is required, as well as a headset and ideally a Web cam. In the seminar room, we use specially developed and customized audio- and video-technologies. This makes sure that the communication between all persons involved works in a convenient and fault-free way.
