Which keycloak in the newer versions doesn't provide in an easy way (You need to upload your own SPI).
 Before anything else you should have a working Keycloak installation ;-) : [[:linux_server_manuals:docker_keycloak_container_with_local_postgresql|]]

 Then click an **Download metadata XML** and save the file, you'll need it for Keycloak.

+===== Keycloak configuration =====
+In keycloak go to clients and choose "Import Client". Upload the previously downladed **medata.xml** and click ok.
+Then go to the **Client scopes** tab and delete the **roles_list** scope. It won't work since it is not configured as <b>Single Role Attribute</b> it will lead a <b>Duplicated Attribute Error</b> in Nextcloud.\\
+Now below Assigned client scope click on the URL **<nextcloud-url>/index.php/apps/user_saml/saml/metadata-dedicated** (a bold UI Design decision… only took me hours to find that. Hopefully that will be changed in Keycloak > 21).
+ Then create multiple new mappers: **add Mapper/by configuration/User Property**:\\
+^setting^value|
+|**name** |username|
+|**property** |username|
+|**SAML attribute name** |username|
+|**SAML attribute name format** |basic|
+^setting^value|
+|**name** |email|
+|**property** |email|
+|**SAML attribute name** |email|
+|**SAML attribute name format** |basic|
+If you want to map the roles or groups to nextcloud add a **Role list** respectively **Group list** mapper (instead of User property).
+^setting^value|
+|**name** |role list|
+|**
+Role attribute name ** |Role|
+|**SAML attribute name format** |basic|

+Single Role Attribute ** |on|
+So now everything should be working. Try to log in. If it doesn't work check out the nextcloud log file and the keycloak log.
