Keycloak OpenID Connect Integration for the Vodia PBX
Published on:
September 12, 2025
Vodia’s PBX now integrates with Keycloak OpenID Connect, providing secure single sign-on for users so they can access all connected applications without repeated authentication. Logging out from one application automatically logs the user out of all connected systems, simplifying user management and improving security. Keycloak, a Cloud Native Computing Foundation project, supports standard protocols including OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, and SAML, offering enterprise-grade identity and access management. To ensure proper integration, Keycloak user emails must match the corresponding PBX extension emails. Complete guidance is available in the Vodia Keycloak integration guide.
Vodia’s PBX now supports Keycloak OpenID Connect, enabling secure single sign-on for your users. Once a user logs in through Keycloak, they can access all connected applications without repeated authentication. Logging out from one application also logs the user out from all connected systems, simplifying user management and improving security.
What Is Keycloak?
Keycloak is a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) incubation project. CNCF is the open source, vendor-neutral hub of cloud native computing, hosting projects such as Kubernetes and Prometheus that make cloud native universal and sustainable. A number of global organizations have recently shared their Keycloak case studies, including the Austrian Business Service Portal, Hitachi, and OpenTalk.
How Keycloak Works
Vodia users can now authenticate with Keycloak, rather than with individual applications, so these apps don’t require authenticating users, login forms, and storing users. Once a user logs in to Keycloak, it isn’t necessary to log in again to use another application.
This also applies to logging out, as Keycloak enables single-sign out (SSO): once a user logs out of an application, this user is automatically logged out of all applications using Keycloak. Keycloak is based on standard protocols and provides support for OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, and SAML.

The integration of the Vodia phone system with Keycloak provides enterprise-grade identity and access management.
This allows for secure Single Sign-On (SSO), but Keycloak user emails must match the corresponding extension email addresses on the PBX.
