[keycloak-user] Accessing Admin Console from client application without logging in

[kapil joshi]

Hi All,

More precisely, I'm trying to achieve SSO with just access & refresh
tokens. But realised we need cookies too, is there a way to achieve that by
passing access token as
cookies redirection requests.

Thanks
Kapil
