One way is to configure both APS and Keycloak to sync against an LDAP server.

APS doesn't read from multiple LDAP servers so yes you'll need to write a custom extension.

You can implement ExternalIdmSourceSyncService (or extend AbstractExternalIdmSourceSyncService) to write your own sync logic see an example here Example implementation | Alfresco Documentation

In future, if client wants a social login or some login feature, again i have to do some stuff. 

so instead of writing custom extension to sync multiple ldap, i can sync with keycloak right. From keycloak i can do remaining stuff without affecting existing flow.

thanks for the pointers Bassam Al-Sarori‌ .

hi Bassam Al-Sarori‌, this is like repeating the same task(multiple ldap config) in both keycloak and aps. so i don't want to write custom exception to sync multiple ldap. is there any other way?.

The default admin user needs to be created in APS so you need to set those properties. Then create the same user on Keycloak.
