Hello all,

I have an issue configuring both systems Keycloak and FreeIPA to work with User Federation. Configuration on Keycloak side for the ldap (FreeIPA server) is as follows:
The below screenshot is from the Keycloak User Federation:

Importing users works flawlessly but the problems comes when I try to create user in Keycloak and expect it to be created on FreeIPA side - WRITABLE is on, and keycloak machine is enrolled into FreeIPA as a client (both OSes are Alma). There is no error, and Keycloak indicates that a new user is created.

However, in FreeIPA's web interface the user is missing and the most frustrating thing is if i try to create the very same username, FreeIPA returns that it can't add the user, because it already exists. I guess the issue would be somewhere either in Username/RDN LDAP attribute or UUID or even Custom User LDAP filter, but i'm lost a bit.

In case someone wants to help here what i've tried to play with:
  • Setting UUID Ldap attribute to ipaUniqueID, but using it, returns 0 user when trying to sync, and creating user from Keycloak returns error
  • Setting custom ldap filter to match a group from the LDAP - no binding with admin user could be achieved, thus no user could be synced

Anyhelp on this will be much appreciated :") 

Thank you in advance
