Enabling and disabling features

NQRust-Identity has packed some functionality in features, including some disabled features, such as Technology Preview and deprecated features. Other features are enabled by default, but you can disable them if they do not apply to your use of NQRust-Identity.

Enabling features

Some supported features, and all preview features, are disabled by default. You can enable feature either via single option or including it into the list of enabled feature.

Single option

You can enable the specific feature <name> as follows:

bin/kc.[sh|bat] build --feature-<name>=enabled|disabled|vX

Possible values are enabled, disabled, or a specific version of the feature that should be enabled. For example, to enable token-exchange, enter this command:

bin/kc.[sh|bat] build --feature-token-exchange=enabled

The single-option mechanism is useful when updating long feature lists is cumbersome or when you want to modify a specific feature without overriding the entire list in a pre-built image.

List of enabled features

bin/kc.[sh|bat] build --features="<name>[,<name>]"

For example, to enable docker and token-exchange, enter this command:

bin/kc.[sh|bat] build --features="docker,token-exchange"

To enable all preview features, enter this command:

bin/kc.[sh|bat] build --features="preview"

Versioning

Enabled feature may be versioned, or unversioned. If you use a versioned feature name, e.g. feature:v1, that exact feature version will be enabled as long as it still exists in the runtime. If you instead use an unversioned name, e.g. just feature, the selection of the particular supported feature version may change from release to release according to the following precedence:

1. The highest default supported version
2. The highest non-default supported version
3. The highest deprecated version
4. The highest preview version
5. The highest experimental version

Disabling features

To disable a feature that is enabled by default, you can use a single option or a list of disabled features. When a feature is disabled, all versions of that feature are disabled.

Single option

You can disable the specific feature <name> as follows:

bin/kc.[sh|bat] build --feature-<name>=disabled

For example, to disable dpop and recovery-codes, enter this command:

bin/kc.[sh|bat] build --feature-dpop=disabled --feature-recovery-codes=disabled

The single-option mechanism is useful when updating long feature lists is cumbersome or when you want to modify a specific feature without overriding the entire list in a pre-built image.

List of disabled features

bin/kc.[sh|bat] build --features-disabled="<name>[,<name>]"

For example to disable impersonation, enter this command:

bin/kc.[sh|bat] build --features-disabled="impersonation"

It is not allowed to have a feature in both the features-disabled list and the features list.
