Creating a Realm and a User

The first step is to create a realm and a user in that realm. The realm consists of:

  • A single user

  • A single client application, which then becomes a resource server for which you need to enable authorization services.

To create a realm and a user complete the following steps:

  1. Create a realm with a name hello-world-authz. Once created, a page similar to the following is displayed:

    Realm hello-world-authz

    Realm hello-world-authz

  2. Create a user for your newly created realm. Click Users. The user list page opens.

  3. On the right side of the empty user list, click Add User.

  4. To create a new user, complete the Username, Email, First Name, and Last Name fields. Click the User Enabled switch to On, and then click Save.

  6. Complete the New Password and Password Confirmation fields with a password and click the Temporary switch to OFF.

  7. Click Reset Password to set the user’s password.
