The target user base for keycloak at PSI are:
Health workers using any digital implementation (web or mobile applications). Exclude chat-only interventions for health workers - example kassai.org elearning system delivered via whatsapp.
Internal and external developers
PSI employees using any of the systems listed as part of Platform 2.0

Servers
Contrary to the expectation set by the environments guidelines page, as Keycloak serves as the main authentication mechanism for all Platform 2.0 systems, across all environments, all system instances (dev, stage, prod, qa) are expected to authentication against the main production server. We do not expect to have a stage or qa server. A small sandbox/dev instance will run for PoC/ experiments when doing the initial platform integration, or trying new configurations/customizations in Keycloak.

DHIS2 (from 2.40) | HIGH | The primary mechanism for DHIS2 authentication must be based on PSI’s O365 authentication services. The use of secondary authentication by DHIS2 for users not in O365 is being explored, so Keycloak can be used. DHIS2 login to be discontinue (Aug 2023 - TBC) | late 2023, with the roll-out of 2.40.
