# apache-airflow-providers-keycloak — Provider package apache-airflow-providers-keycloak for Apache Airflow

License: permissive · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 432.2K/mo

## What it is and what it does

This is an Apache Airflow provider package that bridges Keycloak, an open-source identity and access management system, with Airflow's orchestration and scheduling platform. It enables developers and system administrators to use Keycloak for authentication and authorization within Airflow environments, allowing centralized identity management across Airflow deployments.

The package is maintained as part of the Apache Airflow ecosystem and requires Airflow 3.0.0 or later. It depends on python-keycloak for Keycloak client functionality and the common-compat provider for cross-provider compatibility. The package supports Python 3.10 through 3.14 and is classified as production-stable.

Use it for:

- Authenticate Airflow users against a centralized Keycloak identity provider instead of local Airflow credentials.
- Enforce role-based access control (RBAC) in Airflow using Keycloak roles and permissions.
- Integrate Airflow with enterprise single sign-on (SSO) systems that use Keycloak.
- Manage Airflow DAG and task-level authorization through Keycloak groups and roles.
- Synchronize user identities and permissions between Keycloak and multiple Airflow instances.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Integrates Keycloak identity and access management with Apache Airflow, enabling authentication and authorization workflows within Airflow DAGs and operators.

Yes, if you run Apache Airflow 3.0.0+ and need Keycloak-based authentication or authorization. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and is permissively licensed. Install only if Keycloak integration is a requirement; it is not a general-purpose Airflow enhancement.

## Install

pip install apache-airflow-providers-keycloak
uv add apache-airflow-providers-keycloak
poetry add apache-airflow-providers-keycloak

## Installing apache-airflow-providers-keycloak

Before you install: Low install friction with a pure-Python wheel. Active maintenance: last commit 2026-08-14, released 17 days ago. Requires apache-airflow >=3.0.0, apache-airflow-providers-common-compat >=1.12.0, and python-keycloak >=5.0.0.

License in practice: Licensed under Apache-2.0 (permissive). No restrictions on commercial use, modification, or redistribution provided the license and copyright notice are included.

Quickstart:

pip install apache-airflow-providers-keycloak

from airflow.providers.keycloak import ...
# Use Keycloak provider classes for authentication/authorization in Airflow

Requires Apache Airflow >=3.0.0 and Python >=3.10; python-keycloak >=5.0.0 must be installed.

Verify before relying:

- Specific Keycloak provider classes, operators, and hooks available in the package.
- Whether the package provides connection types, sensors, or transfer operators beyond authentication.
- Integration scope: does it cover Airflow UI authentication, DAG-level authorization, or both?
