Hello Stian and Marek,
Thanks for the clarification.
I am not sure what u mean by "invoke that yourself and initialize
keycloak.js with the tokens afterwards". U mean in the new KeyCloak(...)
constructor I pass the tokens and other values?
" authenticate with both LDAP and Keycloak in the first place...."
- The desktop windows application is a old legacy application(custom
dialer) used to connect to Aspect Telephony server. This Aspect server
requires the AD login so that agents using this dialer is connected to
Aspect. So I dont know how I can avoid this.
- There is no way to pass the username/pass from the embedded KC page to
the "parent" windows application. Not sure if some workaround is possible
in the local application or not.
Please help.
Thanks,
Subhro.
