KeyCape

Prepare for Keycloak without Keycloak

KeyCape is the lightweight IAM component of NetKingdom. It implements the NetKingdom IAM Profile — a versioned OIDC/PKCE contract — by orchestrating Authelia, LLDAP, and privacyIDEA. The same profile is implemented by Keycloak in expanded-mode deployments.

Applications integrate against the profile, not against Keycape internals. This makes the lightweight → expanded migration a tested, automated operation rather than a rewrite.

Status

Implementation complete (v0.1). All 23 workplan tasks implemented and tested. 21 test packages, all green. See workplans/KEY-WP-0001-keycape-implementation.md.

Expanded mode: Replace KeyCape with Keycloak. Same profile, same tests pass.

Quick Start

# Start the dev stack (KeyCape + LLDAP + Authelia + privacyIDEA)
make dev

# Build the server binary
make build

# Run all tests
make test

Configuration

KeyCape uses a YAML config file. See config/dev-config.yaml for a full example.

issuer: "https://auth.netkingdom.local"
port: 8080
tokenLifetime: "15m"
privateKeyPem: "/etc/keycape/key.pem"
environment: "production"

lldap:
  url: "ldap://lldap:389"
  bindDN: "cn=admin,dc=netkingdom,dc=local"
  bindPW: "secret"
  baseDN: "dc=netkingdom,dc=local"

authelia:
  baseURL: "https://authelia.local"
  clientId: "keycape"
  clientSecret: "secret"
  redirectURI: "https://auth.netkingdom.local/authorize/callback"

privacyidea:
  baseURL: "https://privacyidea.local"
  adminToken: "secret"
  realm: "netkingdom"

clients:
  - clientId: "my-app"
    displayName: "My Application"
    redirectUris: ["https://myapp.local/callback"]
    allowedScopes: ["openid", "profile", "email", "groups"]
    grantTypes: ["authorization_code"]
    clientType: "public"

Config is validated at startup — the server exits 1 with validation errors if config is invalid.

Endpoints

Endpoint	Description
GET /.well-known/openid-configuration	OIDC discovery document
GET /jwks	RS256 public key in JWK Set format
GET /authorize	Authorization endpoint (PKCE required)
GET /authorize/callback	Authelia callback handler
POST /token	Token exchange (authorization_code only)
GET /userinfo	Userinfo endpoint (Bearer token required)
GET /healthz	Health check → {"status":"ok","version":"0.1.0"}

Profile Constraints

KeyCape enforces the NetKingdom IAM Profile. Violations return structured errors:

Error type	Meaning
feature_not_supported_by_profile	Feature is outside the profile entirely
available_in_keycloak_mode_only	Available in expanded mode, not lightweight
rejected_for_profile_safety	Would weaken security guarantees
invalid_profile_usage	Supported feature used incorrectly

Enforced boundaries: no implicit flow, no wildcard redirect URIs, no dynamic client registration, no identity brokering, PKCE S256 required.

Migration Tools

KeyCape ships migration tools for the two orthogonal migration dimensions:

IAM migration (KeyCape → Keycloak):

# Export canonical data from LLDAP
./lldap-export --url ldap://lldap:389 --bind-dn cn=admin,... --output canonical-export.yaml

# Transform to Keycloak realm import
./keycape-to-keycloak --input canonical-export.yaml --realm netkingdom --output keycloak-realm-import.json

Directory migration (LLDAP → OpenLDAP / 389DS / AD):

./lldap-to-ldap --input canonical-export.yaml --target openldap --base-dn dc=netkingdom,dc=local --output migration.ldif

Both migrations are independent. Perform either or both without affecting privacyIDEA MFA enrollment.

LDAP Schema Validator

# Validate in CI mode (strict)
./validator --mode ci --input directory-snapshot.yaml

# Validate before provisioning
./validator --mode provisioning --input users.yaml

Validates: DN structure, required attributes, no unknown attributes, user references, no cyclic groups, username uniqueness, email format.
