How I handle this issue is by having KeyCloak behind my Apache Reverse
proxy. That way, the domain and port of my application and keycloak both
are the same so there is no issue.

Also not sure why you want to prevent a post because won't you have a use
case why an end user can go into the account page that is linked from an
application and change their info such as their credentials. I would assume
that is a post action on the keycloak account forms.
