Hi folks,
I'm a junior javascript developer and am looking into ways to implement SSO
using keycloak. My applications are javascript with backend rest node and
front-end vue. Before I go deeper into implementation I wanted to
understand why is there a javascript adapter and a node adapter as well. I
understand that the javascript adapter is client side and the node adapter
is server side. How do you authenticate a resource(end-point) from a
client-side adapter?
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.
Another thing that's confusing me is keycloak.js, what is it? how is it
used and its pros and cons?
Thank you in anticipation and for bearing with the relatively noob
questions.

Adnan A. Khan
