I'm developping a UI to manage Azure Active directory user's groups.
I noticed that for an already connected user, the change in the list of groups he bolongs to doesn't affect his credentials until he logout and log on again.
Is it possible to make a connected user session end (for exemple just after the change of his groups list) ? or make its session immediately take into account the change in its credentials ?
You have to wait until the user signs in again to update the information. If needed though, you can revoke the user's access and then allow it again. You do have to wait for the token to expire though, unless you revoke the tokens themselves.

We are currently implementing feature on our server to allow our B2B customers to connect their own SSO method. So we will automatically register a user if he doesn't have any account.
But we will have to watch if the given user is deleted from the customer group. Is there any way to set a web hook on our side, to receive events from that customer's SSO, in order to be aware of a user deletion (or any other kind of edit that requires the user's token revocation) ?
Otherwise, I know we'll have to periodically send the given refresh token to the provider, so that we know that we can still trust the user existence from the customer's list. But if there's any other way to check that, we will look into it
I mapped AD groups to roles using Mappers. When I login with test user(with ADGroup1, ADGroup2),
In the Keycloak logged-in user's mapper roles (role1, role2) are assigned correctly.
When I remove a user from an AD group (-ADGroup2) in Azure. It was deleting role (-role2) in Keycloak after logging in again.
I tried to add the AD group (ADGroup2) back again. It was not an appending role again. Seeing only role1.
Mapper is configured as below:
ADGroup1 ==> test_client.role1
ADGroup2 ==> test_client.role2
If I delete both AD groups, user roles are also deleted in Keycloak. only appending is the problem.
thank you for posting your query. This seems like a user data sync delay. Could you please try to have "Sync Mode Override" to "force". This would update user data at each user login. Ref: https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak-documentation/blob/main/server_admin/topics/identity-broker/mappers.adoc
Thanks
I have a program(C, Redhat) which lets the user login using Single Sign-on via GSSAPI/(Kerberos) or username/password via PAM.
After the login the user groups are fetched from Active Directory using getgrouplist function.
Now if I change the user groups in Active Directory (add a new group or remove an existing one), and user logins using GSSAPI(kerberos), the group change is not reflected immediately i.e. the getgrouplist function returns the same group list returned in the previous login.
On the contrary, when user logins using username/password via PAM, the function getgrouplist always returns the latest group list.
I guess that some sort of caching is done (do not know where) and that cache is refreshed when user logins using username/password.
How can I force getgrouplist/Linux to always fetch the latest group list?
I have tried multiple times to get this to work, but I haven't figured it out yet, so I'm asking in here, hoping that someone will be able to help me out.
I am using Atlassian's Bitbucket, Jira and Bamboo and they're all synced with an AD. At the moment I am using my AD user to retrieve all the other users. It works, but it's not optimal, as the password expires every three months, and I have to change the LDAP user login info on all three applications. We have ordered a Service User, where the password doesn't expire, but the problem is that the Service User is in another group.
The picture below shows how the AD is set up. My Service User is in a group called Special Users. I would like to use this user as the login user in the settings. This way I would never have to think about changing password, when my AD password expires.
I would then like to retrieve all the users from the "Normal Users" group.
Let me know if more information is needed.
Thanks.
You could also add multiple user directories pointing to different parts of your Active Directory.
Jira has an internal Crowd out of the box.
You may let Jira connect to User directory and let all other application use Jira for authintication.
This would save time by only updating your LDAP password every 3 months on 1 application and reflected on all 3 applications
I can check user in active directory, if he exist then I give him permission to open app window, but what if an application has many levels of permission? Do I create special groups of permission in active direcotry and check if user belongs to one of them? . Can application log in automaticaly, or there is always need to enter password?
Active Directory can fulfill two related but seperate functions for an application: Authorization and Authentication.
Authentication is validating that the person using your application is a valid user. If you have the user's credentials (i.e. the application prompts the user for their username and password), you can authenticate them against AD by attempting a connection using their username/password.
Authorization is what lets you determine the level of permissions a particular user has in your application. Active Directory groups are a relatively straightforward and flexible way to implement the various permissions levels. Typically, I will create very fine-grained permissions groups that represent each securable action users can perform in the application (i.e. CanDeleteWidgets, CanAddWidgets, CanEditWidgets ). Then create functional or role groups where you place the users for that role (i.e. Managers, Coordinators, Technicians, etc). Finally, you just nest the role groups into the permissions groups so if, for example, the business requirement is that Managers can delete widgets, you would add the Managers group as a member of the CanDeleteWidgets group. While this may seem more complex, it makes it extremely simple to respond to changing business security requirements (i.e. "Technicians need to be able to delete widgets" - Piece of cake. Add the Technicians role group to the CanDeleteWidgets permissions group and you're done).
As far as logging in automatically, yes, there are a number of ways you can automatically log in a user. For winforms apps, you should just be able to grab the currently logged in user and use that. For web apps, if you can use integrated authentication, you end up with the same thing. Your web server will handle the authentication piece and send over the DOMAIN\USERNAME of the user in a server header variable.
