Declarative User Profile : Annotations & validator config as Json

[jermarchand]

Hello,

In "Declarative User Profile", Annotations and Validators are not just map[string]string, it should be map[string]interface{}

In Terraform, an attribut (in a map) for a resource cannot be String or Object in the same time (Generics missing ;))

With this PR, the workaround I propose is to serialize the object as a Json string.

Hope this will help

Also, when I use an object as a key for an annotation, like this:

    annotations = {
      bar = jsonencode({
        "hello" = "world"
      })
    }

it ends up looking like this on the keycloak side:

That doesn't seem right to me, is this something you'd expect?

I know that the validators that come bundled with Keycloak either have string or array keys (which is what we're checking for here), but do you think it would also be useful to handle nested objects? You mention that you have custom validators, do any of them use nested objects?

Hi @mrparkers
It seems OK to me, it is just a display limitation on Keycloak side, but we see it's an object and then can go to JSON editor to get more details ?

Sorry for nagging but is there any progress on this one? We need to be able to create a profile attribute which have a list as validator configuration and an object as annotation. It is for a select input with given options.

Anything we can do to help out?

Thanks

Hi @mrparkers

Do you plan to make a new tag soon ? We require this feature and would like to use it :)

Thanks
