     <title>Administration</title>
     <para>
       An administrative user with the username
       <literal>admin</literal> is automatically created in the
       <literal>master</literal> realm. Its initial password can be
       configured by setting <xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.initialAdminPassword" />
       and defaults to <literal>changeme</literal>. The password is
       not stored safely and should be changed immediately in the
       admin panel.
     </para>

     <para>
       Refer to the <link
       xlink:href="https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_admin/index.html">
       Keycloak Server Administration Guide</link> for information on
       how to administer your <productname>Keycloak</productname>
       instance.
     </para>
   </section>

   <section xml:id="module-services-keycloak-database">
     <title>Database access</title>
     <para>
       <productname>Keycloak</productname> can be used with either
       <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>,
       <productname>MariaDB</productname> or
       <productname>MySQL</productname>. Which one is used can be
       configured in <xref
       linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.type" />. The selected
       database will automatically be enabled and a database and role
       created unless <xref
       linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.host" /> is changed
       from its default of <literal>localhost</literal> or <xref
       linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.createLocally" /> is
       set to <literal>false</literal>.
     </para>

     <para>
       External database access can also be configured by setting
       <xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.host" />, <xref
       linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.name" />, <xref
       linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.username" />, <xref
       linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.useSSL" /> and <xref
       linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.caCert" /> as
       appropriate. Note that you need to manually create the database
       and allow the configured database user full access to it.
     </para>

     <para>
       <xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.passwordFile" />
       must be set to the path to a file containing the password used
       to log in to the database. If <xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.host" />
       and <xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.database.createLocally" />
       are kept at their defaults, the database role
       <literal>keycloak</literal> with that password is provisioned
       on the local database instance.
     </para>

     <warning>
       <para>
         The path should be provided as a string, not a Nix path, since Nix
         paths are copied into the world readable Nix store.
       </para>

   <section xml:id="module-services-keycloak-hostname">
     <title>Hostname</title>
     <para>
       The hostname is used to build the public URL used as base for
       all frontend requests and must be configured through <xref
       linkend="opt-services.keycloak.settings.hostname" />.
     </para>

     <note>
       <para>
         If you're migrating an old Wildfly based Keycloak instance
         and want to keep compatibility with your current clients,
         you'll likely want to set <xref
         linkend="opt-services.keycloak.settings.http-relative-path"
         /> to <literal>/auth</literal>. See the option description
         for more details.
       </para>
     </note>

     <para>
       <xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.settings.hostname-strict-backchannel" />
       determines whether Keycloak should force all requests to go
       through the frontend URL. By default,
       <productname>Keycloak</productname> allows backend requests to
       instead use its local hostname or IP address and may also
       advertise it to clients through its OpenID Connect Discovery
       endpoint.
     </para>

     <para>
        For more information on hostname configuration, see the <link
        xlink:href="https://www.keycloak.org/server/hostname">Hostname

        Guide</link>.

   <section xml:id="module-services-keycloak-tls">
     <title>Setting up TLS/SSL</title>
     <para>
       By default, <productname>Keycloak</productname> won't accept
       unsecured HTTP connections originating from outside its local
       network.
     </para>

     <para>
       HTTPS support requires a TLS/SSL certificate and a private key,
       both <link
       xlink:href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy-Enhanced_Mail">PEM
       formatted</link>. Their paths should be set through <xref
       linkend="opt-services.keycloak.sslCertificate" /> and <xref
       linkend="opt-services.keycloak.sslCertificateKey" />.
     </para>

     <warning>
       <para>
         The paths should be provided as a strings, not a Nix paths,
         since Nix paths are copied into the world readable Nix store.

   <section xml:id="module-services-keycloak-themes">
     <title>Themes</title>
     <para>
        You can package custom themes and make them visible to
        Keycloak through <xref linkend="opt-services.keycloak.themes"
        />. See the <link
        xlink:href="https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_development/#_themes">
        Themes section of the Keycloak Server Development Guide</link>
        and the description of the aforementioned NixOS option for
        more information.
     </para>
   </section>

   <section xml:id="module-services-keycloak-settings">
     <title>Configuration file settings</title>
     <para>
       Keycloak server configuration parameters can be set in <xref
       linkend="opt-services.keycloak.settings" />. These correspond
       directly to options in
       <filename>conf/keycloak.conf</filename>. Some of the most
       important parameters are documented as suboptions, the rest can
       be found in the <link
       xlink:href="https://www.keycloak.org/server/all-config">All
       configuration section of the Keycloak Server Installation and
       Configuration Guide</link>.
     </para>

     <para>
       Options containing secret data should be set to an attribute
       set containing the attribute <literal>_secret</literal> - a
       string pointing to a file containing the value the option
       should be set to. See the description of <xref
       linkend="opt-services.keycloak.settings" /> for an example.
     </para>

   <section xml:id="module-services-keycloak-example-config">
     <title>Example configuration</title>
     <para>
       A basic configuration with some custom settings could look like this:
<programlisting>

  settings = {
    <link linkend="opt-services.keycloak.settings.hostname">hostname</link> = "keycloak.example.com";
