Keycloak 1.5.0.Final released

We've just released Keycloak 1.5.0.Final!

A few highlights from the release includes:

  • Custom auth flows - in 1.4.0 we introduced a new authentication and required actions SPIs, but we didn't make it possible to define your own flows. In this release you can now use the SPIs to create your own authenticators and also define your own authentication flows through the admin console
  • Custom auth flows for clients - we also made it possible to create your own authenticators and flows to authenticate clients.
  • Client signed token authentication - we introduced support to authenticate users with public/private keys and signed JWT tokens. This complements the introduction of service accounts from 1.4.0
  • Event/counter OTP for Google Authenticator and FreeOTP - through the admin console you can now configure if you want to use time based OTP or event based OTP
  • Make Infinispan cache default and remove in-mem cache - we removed the custom in-mem caches we had in previous releases and now only support the Infinispan based caches
  • Make Infinispan user session default and remove in-mem, jpa and mongo user session providers - we removed the JPA, Mongo and in-mem user session providers and will now focus on just the Infinispan based provider
  • Deal with time inconsistency in keycloak.js - the time on end-users computers can often be out of sync so we now deal with this in the javascript adapter by estimating the time skew between Keycloak and the users computer
  • Remove address from registration and account management - we've simplified the registration screen and account management and removed the address fields. If you need to add these or others you can now refer to the new address example theme

As usual we've been real busy and there's loads more, for full details check the release notes. To download the release go to keycloak.org.
