Configure Openshift Cluster to use Keycloak as a user backend for login with oauth2 and SSO.

{{< content "/filedir/openshift.html" >}}

With Ansible-openshift you can not change the authetication method after Install !! If you installed the cluster with htpasswd, then change to LDAP the playbook trys to add a second authentication methot for the config. It is forbidden to add a second type of identity provider in the version 3.11 of Ansible-openshift. To solv this problem we must change the configuration manually.

### Environment
```
192.168.1.40    deployer
192.168.1.41    openshift01 # master node
192.168.1.42    openshift02 # infra node
192.168.1.43    openshift03 # worker node
```

### Configuration on Keycloak
```
create new client on keycloak in relm mydomain
Client ID: openshift
Clyent Protocol: openid-connect
Access type: confidential
Valid Redirect URIs: https://master.openshift.mydomain.itra/*
delete other urls

# On Credentials tap copy the secret to clientSecrethez in config.
```

### Configurate The cluster
