I want to create a custom login on an external site that will just use Taleo to authenticate the username and password (meaning, literally, just check if that user exists). Is there a good way of doing this? I'm having trouble finding the answer in Taleo's API methods.
You can do it using my library : https://github.com/Polzme/Taleo
Don't hesitate to ask for help.

As the title suggests, I'm trying to implement the mechanism of retyping the password again before proceeding any critical action, e.g. change email, deactivate an account, invites a new user, ... etc.
The problem is, I'm confused about how it should be done in the REST world.
Should it be like, first, use the password to authenticate the user, but with a different backing authentication made especially for this action and use the resulted token to access this protected resource later? E.g. a JWT token with a specific claim for this action and guard that endpoint with this custom authentication to authenticate for this custom token?
Or should it be done in one request providing the password and based on password check the action will be proceeded or denied?
Or should it be something else?
Thanks in advance for your help, I really appreciate it.
Note: I'm using DRF that's why I added it's the tag to the question, but as this is a general question
I want usernames (created using an algorithm) to be automatically assigned to users and want to allow login using both this username and email address. How do I do that in Keycloak?
You can use rest api to create user. This way you can use alghoritm to generate username. Documentation is here:
https://www.keycloak.org/docs-api/10.0/rest-api/index.html#_users_resource
In the realm settings go to Login tab and enable Login with email
I have an email address of a user. I’d like to create a user and send them an email with a link to set their password and activate their account. Is this kind of flow support in Keycloak ? I think I can provision user in Keycloak and send executeActionsEmail using UserResource. Is that the right way to do ?
Yes keycloak does support this kind of flow. You can use keycloak admin client for this.
UserResource is the right class for this. You are going in correct direction.
As an admin, I need to set user passwords through SOAP API but I could not find a service addresses my need. The closest service to mine is SetPassword that enables setting passwords through ZimbraID. Are there any ways to set passwords through usernames? Or how can I retrieve ZimbraIDs for existing accounts?
That's the only method available. However, you can get the zimbra id using GetAccount and using username.
i am developing an desktop application in which i have to get task list from google account (as per requirement ) in analysing i didnot find any way to get it done as i didnot have much idea about Google Task Api and in the documentation provided at google # https://developers.google.com/google-apps/tasks/
i didnot find any authentication mechanism (where a client enters his username and password of his gmail account and get the tasks) as i saw it only uses client key and secret key which is not expected from the user to fill in
so please suggest is there any way to get the google tasks using Username And Password of client ?
Thanks in advance
First follow the steps outlined here and then see the Authorize Request page. The recommended method is OAuth2, so the user will never give you his username and password, instead he will share with you an access token.
