I don't think referrer is the correct approach. What about if we add a feature to Keycloak that lets you retrieve all applications a user has access to (where a user has at least one role?) and that has a base url configured for it (maybe this should be changed to default page). Then we can use this information to add an application switcher to all consoles (like Google has, see attachment). This is probably something we should discuss with Management .Next guys though ;)
