Re: [keycloak-user] Javascript Adapter vs Node Adapter
Awesome, thank you! This was just what I was looking for. I was trying to
do that using keycloaks endpoints but I was having problems with CORS. I’ll
try using the adapter, hopefully that’ll solve the problem. Otherwise I’ll
get back on this thread 👍🏼

On your front-end app you use the keycloak.js (the Javascript adapter) to
performs the login (with the redirect etc ...) , Keycloak will return you
tokens. On of this token is the access token that you can use to call a
resource (by passing the Authorization header with value "Bearer
your_access_token" , probably secured with nodejs adapter in your case.
