[keycloak-user] Dynamically branded login?

Mon Oct 8 11:04:23 EDT 2018

Following up on this conversation.  I was unable to find a way to do this
via the Freemarker templates unfortunately.  The templates are not
receiving anything useful in determining the full path and query
parameters.  The only approach that I've found to do what I need is to add
a small Javascript snippet to my theme that is able to look at the query
parameters and insert a new stylesheet reference into the code based on a
query parameter.  Ugly, but seems effective assuming I can get my query
parameter set in all of the URL's that matter.
