[keycloak-dev] Login with Access Token

[Stian Thorgersen]

Keycloak generates a special state parameter. It consists of two parts, a signature and an id. The id is used to lookup a session in Keycloak, while the signature is then used to verify that specific request is valid (a session can only be used for one thing at a time, for example a social login). By design there's no way you can generate this yourself unless you have access to the Keycloak database.
