Keycloak deployments have a gap: the <orgName>:<ROLE> realm role convention
NICo reads as org membership appears only in the realm JSON fixtures, so an operator
cannot get a Tenant Admin past a 403 from the documentation. This PR adds a
Keycloak Tenant onboarding page, makes one canonical section the source for the capability,
and points the pages that sent readers to reference-install.md for claim mappings it does
not contain.

Ten pages under docs/ reference the targetedInstanceCreation capability, none explain
how to grant it, and manuals/repair/overview.md states that granting it to a regular
Tenant is not supported through the REST API. It is, as siteCapabilities on the Tenant
Account, and the field the docs do describe, capabilities.targetedInstanceCreation, is a
deprecated read-only aggregate that stops being emitted on October 1, 2026.

Also, writing that page surfaced that nicocli login cannot follow it. --keycloak-realm
defaults to nico-dev and --client-id to nico-api, which are the Kustomize development
values rather than the nico realm and nico-rest client helm-prereqs/setup.sh installs,
and the realm was the one login value auth.oidc could not carry. A mismatch surfaced as a
bare 404 naming neither the realm nor the flag, so this PR adds auth.oidc.realm with the
same flag-over-config precedence client_id already uses, and reports the token endpoint
plus any built-in default in use when a login fails.

Type of Change

  • Change - Changes in existing functionality

Breaking Changes

  • This PR contains breaking changes

NICO_KEYCLOAK_REALM now writes to auth.oidc.realm instead of reaching only the flag
layer, so nicocli env reports it as applied. The flag defaults are unchanged.

Testing

  • Unit tests added/updated

Additional Notes

  • TestEnvOverridesFromEnvironment_ReportsUnappliedFlagOnlyVars asserted that
    NICO_KEYCLOAK_REALM reports Applied=false. That was the old contract, so the assertion
    is inverted here rather than added to
  • The flag defaults still point at the Kustomize realm. Retargeting them needs the Kustomize
    fixture moved in the same change, otherwise it just relocates the mismatch, so we should
    decide that separately

    • Added the Keycloak tenant-management guide to documentation navigation.
  • CLI Improvements

    • Added Keycloak realm configuration through CLI settings and NICO_KEYCLOAK_REALM.
    • Improved realm and client-ID precedence, login error details, and configuration persistence.

Walkthrough

The documentation adds Keycloak tenant onboarding guidance and changes targeted instance creation to a Ready Tenant Account capability. The CLI adds Keycloak realm configuration, precedence rules, diagnostic login errors, persistence behavior, and test coverage.

Changes

Tenant management documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Keycloak onboarding flow
docs/configuration/tenant-management-keycloak.md, docs/configuration/org-permissions.md, docs/configuration/tenant_management.md, docs/index.yml, rest-api/openapi/*, docs/provisioning/ingesting-hosts-rest-api.md
Adds Keycloak setup, role mapping, issuer validation, secure command examples, tenant onboarding, troubleshooting, and related navigation.
Tenant-account capability model
docs/configuration/tenant_management.md, docs/getting-started/quick-start.md, rest-api/openapi/*
Documents Ready Tenant Account capabilities, site overrides, effective resolution, deprecated aggregate fields, and updated bootstrap behavior.
Authorization and repair guidance
docs/manuals/repair/*, docs/provisioning/ingesting-hosts-rest-api.md
Requires effective targeted instance creation at the relevant site and documents account readiness, Provider Admin grants, and site overrides.

CLI OIDC configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
OIDC configuration and environment mapping
rest-api/cli/pkg/config.go, rest-api/cli/pkg/env.go, rest-api/cli/pkg/env_test.go, rest-api/cli/README.md
Adds ConfigOIDC.Realm, applies NICO_KEYCLOAK_REALM, and documents Keycloak URL and default behavior.
OIDC login resolution and diagnostics
rest-api/cli/pkg/auth.go
Resolves realm and client ID from flags, configuration, or defaults. Adds token endpoint diagnostics and persists the resolved realm when applicable.
OIDC login validation
rest-api/cli/pkg/auth_test.go
Tests endpoint failures, precedence rules, default hints, flag defaults, and successful or failed login behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 50180

The authorization guidance may still omit a required Ready Tenant Account relationship, which can cause tenant administrators to configure capabilities that do not work for the intended site. This is a bounded documentation risk requiring owner awareness before merge.

In `@docs/configuration/tenant_management.md`:
- Around line 209-210: Update the provider-only resources bullet in the tenant
management capability list to state that access applies across provider sites
only where the capability is effective, reflecting that a site override takes
precedence over the account default and a disabled override removes access.

In `@docs/configuration/tenant-management-keycloak.md`:
- Line 157: Update the tenant-management Keycloak configuration example to avoid
passing the client secret via command-line arguments; use a protected file,
stdin, or Kubernetes Secret reference instead of the `-s secret=...` form, while
preserving the example’s intended configuration.
- Around line 207-211: Update the credential-bearing Keycloak command example to
use HTTPS for production usage, and clearly label any HTTP setup.sh path as
isolated development-only or document its authenticated encrypted backchannel.
- Around line 51-54: Update the configuration explanation and the
troubleshooting row to distinguish the token endpoint built by --keycloak-url
from the issuer expected by externalBaseURL: document that the expected issuer
is externalBaseURL/realms/realm, while token retrieval may use a port-forward or
other endpoint as long as the token’s iss matches that configured issuer.

In `@docs/manuals/repair/release_instance_for_repair.md`:
- Line 170: Update the repair-tenant guidance for isRepairTenant to state that
the tenant account must be Ready and have targetedInstanceCreation enabled
before release-for-repair authorization succeeds; retain the existing Provider
Admin grant reference and warning for the original tenant.

In `@docs/manuals/repair/repair_integration.md`:
- Line 75: Update the isRepairTenant authorization guidance in the repair
integration documentation to state that the tenant needs a Ready Tenant Account
associated with the target site’s Infrastructure Provider and that
targetedInstanceCreation must resolve to true for that site, including the
applicable site override rules.

In `@docs/manuals/repair/repair_tenant_workflow.md`:
- Line 9: Update the repair tenant prerequisites section to document that it
must have a Ready Tenant Account for the target site’s provider and effective
targetedInstanceCreation enabled at that site, in addition to the existing
tenant-level grant. Retain the resource-access requirements and explain that
missing these conditions causes create-by-machine and isRepairTenant release
checks to return authorization failures.

In `@docs/provisioning/ingesting-hosts-rest-api.md`:
- Line 11: Update the TENANT_ADMIN requirements in the Expected Machines
documentation to require both site-effective TargetedInstanceCreation and a
tenant account associated with the site’s Infrastructure Provider, adding this
condition at both documented requirement points while preserving the existing
PROVIDER_ADMIN path.

In `@docs/configuration/tenant-management-keycloak.md`:
- Around line 264-266: Update the JWT payload decoding command to handle
base64url encoding from the token segment, either by using Python’s
base64.urlsafe_b64decode or by translating “-” and “_” to the standard base64
alphabet before decoding; preserve the existing padding and JSON formatting
behavior.

In `@docs/manuals/repair/online_repair.md`:
- Line 11: Update the online repair authorization guidance to state that tenant
workflows require effective targeted instance creation at the target site,
replacing the optional-sounding capability wording. Preserve the provider-admin
and privileged-tenant-admin access requirements and the existing configuration
reference.

In `@docs/manuals/repair/overview.md`:
- Line 42: Update the embedded Tenant summary guidance in the repair overview so
it states that capabilities.targetedInstanceCreation is omitted and capabilities
serializes as an empty object, rather than reporting false. Keep the existing
recommendation to read siteCapabilities from the tenant-account endpoint and
avoid the deprecated current-tenant capabilities field.

docs/manuals/repair/repair_integration.md:75, and
docs/manuals/repair/repair_tenant_workflow.md:9 to state that targeted instance
creation must be granted by a Ready Tenant Account for the Infrastructure
Provider owning the target site; update
docs/manuals/repair/repair_tenant_workflow.md:317 to include a wrong-provider
account as a troubleshooting cause; update
docs/provisioning/ingesting-hosts-rest-api.md:11 and :31 to require the site's
provider account for the TENANT_ADMIN authorization path.

In `@rest-api/cli/pkg/auth.go`:
- Line 496: Update LoginWithOIDCConfig to append the loginFailureHint token
endpoint to OIDC grant errors before returning them, matching loginWithOIDCCmd
while preserving the existing error wrapping and diagnostic behavior.
