[keycloak-user] How to configure keycloak for native application mobile

[Dmitry Telegin]

Hi Christophe,

Basically, there are two options here:

- implement a native login form inside your mobile app and use direct
grant flow. Simply said, this will allow you to POST username +
password to an URL inside Keycloak and obtain access token that you'll
later use to access REST services secured by Keycloak;
- embed a browser widget, let the user authenticate interactively via
Keycloak login screen, obtain a token upon successful login, use token
to access REST services.

Important: in the first scenario, you'll need to know beforehand what
kind of credentials are required by Keycloak (is it username+password,
or username+password+otp etc.) With the second approach, you won't need
to bother as everything will be handled by Keycloak's login UI.
