Keycloak on Servala: Identity and Access Management, Simplified

Modern applications need more than just great code - they need to know who’s using them, what they’re allowed to do, and how to keep that secure. That’s where Keycloak comes in: a powerful, open-source identity and access management solution trusted by enterprises, public institutions, and developers worldwide.

Now available as a fully managed service on Servala, Keycloak gives you everything you need to secure your apps - without the complexity of running your own IAM infrastructure.

What is Keycloak?

Keycloak is an open-source platform that handles identity, authentication, and authorization for your applications and services. Out of the box, it enables:

  • Single Sign-On (SSO) across all your apps

  • Social logins and enterprise federation (LDAP, AD, SAML)

  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) and fine-grained access control

It’s enterprise-grade, developer-friendly, and fully extensible - but until now, running it in production meant serious effort.

Who is Keycloak for?

Keycloak is used by teams and organizations that need robust identity management without reinventing the wheel, including:

  • Enterprises securing internal and external applications

  • SaaS platforms that need login, account, and session management

  • Public institutions ensuring secure and privacy-compliant access

  • DevOps and platform teams looking for unified identity across environments

  • Software vendors embedding authentication in their products

If your app needs users to log in - Keycloak has you covered.

Why choose Keycloak?

Keycloak stands out for its balance of power, flexibility, and openness. It provides:

  • Comprehensive identity and access management - with SSO, MFA, RBAC, and more

  • Seamless integration - with standards like OpenID Connect, SAML, and SCIM

  • Developer-first design - APIs, adapters, and customization options

  • Security by default - including session protection, brute-force defense, and audit trails

  • Open source freedom - with no lock-in, full transparency, and a vibrant community
