Re: [keycloak-dev] Authentication Provider chaining

For example you can create 2 subflows of the top flow and mark them as ALTERNATIVE. Then if you create "children" execution of subflow1 pointing to your authenticator inside it, then in the code of your authenticator you can switch the state to ATTEMPTED and if the authenticator execution is required, it will cancel subflow1 and go to subflow2. At least I hope it will work like this :-) If you want some more complex logic and dependency of authenticator on the state of other authenticator etc. you can maintain the state inside clientSession notes. Then authenticators will be executed in the fixed order, but for example in the code of authenticator2 you can do something like : if ("true".equals(clientSession.getNote("wasAuthenticator1FinishedSuccessfully")) { // skip this authenticator2 as authenticator1 already authenticated user or did something, which allows you to skip authenticator2 and move directly to authenticator3 etc. context.attempted(); return; } etc. Marek On 19/05/16 16:31, Rashmi Singh wrote: Could someone please tell me if this is even possible? I do not want the execution engines/authentication providers to be executed in a fixed order defined in the admin console. But, need to be able to switch to any in the chain depending on some response I get upon invoking an external service. I needed to know if this is possible and if yes, then how? Any help would be appreciated. On Wed, May 18, 2016 at 4:21 PM, Rashmi Singh <singhrasster(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > Thanks a lot for your response. I went through the chapter.
