Keycloak OpenID Connect Integration for the Vodia PBX
Published on:
12.9.2025
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, with additional details in the Keycloak official documentation.
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
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.

Obwohl viele das Fax für veraltet halten, spielt es in Branchen, in denen Compliance, Vertraulichkeit und ein gesetzlicher Zustellungsnachweis nicht verhandelbar sind, weiterhin eine entscheidende Rolle. Gesundheitsdienstleister verlassen sich auf das Fax, um die HIPAA-Anforderungen zu erfüllen, während Branchen wie das Finanz-, Rechts- und Immobilienwesen bei Verträgen und Dokumenten, die Unterschriften oder eine rechtlich überprüfbare Übermittlung erfordern, darauf angewiesen sind. Im Gegensatz zur E-Mail bietet das Fax Bestätigungsberichte, die als Empfangsnachweis dienen, sowie zeitgestempelte Aufzeichnungen, die in Gerichtsverfahren Bestand haben. Mit der Vodia-PBX wird digitales Fax schneller, einfacher und zugänglicher als je zuvor, denn es ermöglicht den Benutzern, Dokumente per Drag & Drop zu übertragen, den Übertragungsfortschritt zu überwachen und sofortige Bestätigungen zu erhalten.

Die Vodia PBX unterstützt jetzt die SAML-Integration und bietet damit eine sichere und standardbasierte Methode für den Zugriff von Anwendern auf ihr Telefonsystem durch Single Sign-On. SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) ermöglicht es Mitarbeitern, sich in einem System zu authentifizieren und auf andere Systeme zuzugreifen, ohne mehrere Passwörter verwalten zu müssen, was sowohl die Sicherheit als auch die Benutzerfreundlichkeit verbessert. Durch den Austausch von digital signierten SAML-Assertions zwischen Identitätsanbietern und Dienstanbietern gewährleistet Vodia eine nahtlose Authentifizierung über interne und externe Anwendungen hinweg. Mit dieser Integration können IT-Teams die Benutzerverwaltung vereinfachen, die Komplexität der Anmeldung reduzieren und starke Sicherheitskontrollen für die Geschäftskommunikation aufrechterhalten.
