How can I create user accounts for MATLAB Web App Server?

I am using MATLAB Web App Server to host apps for a group of end users outside my organization. I notice that MATLAB Web App Server supports user authentication, and I would like to use this to grant access to my end users and monitor their app usage. However, since these are external users, I do not want to set up authentication using my existing internal company identity provider. 
Is there a good way to create and manage user accounts for external users for MATLAB Web App Server?

MATLAB Web App Server supports the OIDC and LDAP authentication protocols. You can use any identity provider for authentication as long as it is compatible with one of these protocols. Many identity providers such as Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, and Keycloak allow you to quickly and easily set up OIDC-compliant tenants, and can be great options for managing users.

Starting in R2025a, certain configurations of the reference architectures for MATLAB Web App Server automatically set up authentication using Keycloak as an OIDC identity provider. Keycloak is a cloud native solution that provides authentication, authorization, and user management for applications and services. Once your deployment is complete, you can log in to the Keycloak administration console to create and manage users.
