I have a requirement to integrate keycloak into my application which is deployed as a WAR in Azure app service plan. Keycloak provides a couple of adapters for this integration.
These adapters has to be added in CATALINA_HOME/lib folder of tomcat.
Is it possible to add external jars in azure app services.
If so, could you please let me know the steps to do that.

    Hi @Chinnu ,

    I responded to you on your Stack Overflow post. Posting my response on here for visibility:

    "The CATALINA_HOME directory isn’t on the /home drive, so if you put them there the .jar’s wouldn’t be shared across your instances. you can upload the .jar’s to /home/tomcat/lib, which is mentioned in this doc. /home/tomcat/lib is added to Tomcat’s class loader, so the .jar will be added just like when you put it under CATALINA_HOME/lib."

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks,
    Grace
