[keycloak-dev] Custom federation - webservice

[Jorge M.]

Hi,

I think I'm in the right track now. I'm being able to call the webservice
before commit. However, when the user is sucessfully created by the
webservice, I need to update my local user to add a property with the
external user id. How can I do that in the same transaction?
I'm trying to set the property on the managed delegate user model, but it
has no effect.

Thank you!
