# keycloak_client – Allows administration of Keycloak clients via Keycloak API

Note

This module is part of the middleware_automation.keycloak collection.

To install it, use: `ansible-galaxy collection install middleware_automation.keycloak`.

To use it in a playbook, specify: `middleware_automation.keycloak.keycloak_client`.

## Synopsis

- This module allows the administration of Keycloak clients via the Keycloak REST API. It requires access to the REST API via OpenID Connect; the user connecting and the client being used must have the requisite access rights. In a default Keycloak installation, admin-cli and an admin user would work, as would a separate client definition with the scope tailored to your needs and a user having the expected roles.

- The names of module options are snake_cased versions of the camelCase ones found in the Keycloak API and its documentation at https://www.keycloak.org/docs-api/8.0/rest-api/index.html. Aliases are provided so camelCased versions can be used as well.

- The Keycloak API does not always sanity check inputs e.g. you can set SAML-specific settings on an OpenID Connect client for instance and vice versa. Be careful. If you do not specify a setting, usually a sensible default is chosen.

## Parameters
