[keycloak-user] Accessing Google OAuth tokens when using Keycloak

This is possible. If you select "Store tokens" flag for Google identity 
provider in keycloak admin console, the Google access token will be 
stored in Keycloak database (in your step 5).

Then you can send request from your application to special Keycloak REST 
endpoint, which will return you Google access token and you can use it 
in your application. You need to secure this REST request with the 
Keycloak access token returned to your app. We even have the example for 
that, but it's not part of the example distribution. See: 
https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak/tree/master/examples/broker/google-authentication

There is also some docs for that:
