I wish it had better SSO integration with keycloak
Thanks for volunteering to build a new integration for HA! I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Some have tried working on this. Authentik even developed a hack to make it work with HomeAssistant. Unfortunately the core devs of HomeAssistant have historically viewed external auth as a niche feature that users don't care about.^[https://github.com/home-assistant/architecture/issues/832#issuecomment-1328052330] Not sure if that is still the case, but until that mentality changes we are stuck with native auth because PRs are just going to get denied.
I think this post pretty much sums it up:
This has been a long requested feature, there are libraries out there that make this easier for apps so that if you implement the library it will allow pretty much any SSO protocol...but this would need someone with coding skills to implement
