## 1. Create an .env file

Create an `openmetadata_keycloak.env` file and add the following contents as an example. Use the information
generated when setting up the account.

```shell
# OpenMetadata Server Authentication Configuration

AUTHORIZER_REQUEST_FILTER=org.openmetadata.service.security.JwtFilter
AUTHORIZER_ADMIN_PRINCIPALS=[admin-user]  # Your `name` from name@domain.com
AUTHORIZER_PRINCIPAL_DOMAIN=open-metadata.org # Update with your domain

AUTHENTICATION_PROVIDER=custom-oidc
CUSTOM_OIDC_AUTHENTICATION_PROVIDER_NAME=KeyCloak
AUTHENTICATION_PUBLIC_KEYS=[{http://localhost:8081/auth/realms/data-sec/protocol/openid-connect/certs}]
AUTHENTICATION_AUTHORITY={http://localhost:8081/auth/realms/data-sec}
AUTHENTICATION_CLIENT_ID=open-metadata # Update with your Client ID
AUTHENTICATION_CALLBACK_URL=http://localhost:8585/callback
```
