Examples

The Keycloak Authorization can also help you to quickly get started with the authorization services and understand how to apply the same concepts to your own applications.

If you are using the Keycloak Demo Distribution and you have it properly extracted in your file system:

  • keycloak-demo-SNAPSHOT.[zip|tar.gz]

you can check out the available examples from the following directory:

cd ${KEYCLOAK_DEMO_SERVER_DIR}/examples/authz

Or you can get them from GitHub.

Each example has a README file with instructions about how to build, deploy, and test the example.

Here is a brief description of each example:
