Is there any method in Keycloak with Cordova to determine, whether a user has an active session before executing login()?
I'd like to support two basic scenarios in my mobile app, which uses the built-in Keycloak Cordova adapter with the in-app browser plugin:
After a user, who is logged in with "remember me" closes and reopens the app, the user should just silently be logged in and be able to use the app
After a user, who is logged in without "remember me" closes and reopens the app, the user should be redirected to the in-app browser login
In scenario 1 I can simply execute the login method on app init and configure the in-app browser to be hidden. Works!
Then, in scenario 2 I need to execute the login method but this time not hide the in-app browser. I just cannot find any method to decide whether the user has an active session beforehand.
What I already did:
- Searched for related stackoverflow Q&As
- Read the official documentation
- Inspected the Keycloak Cordova example
- Inspected the keycloak-js code with DevTools (not every single line)
- Checked, whether the in-app browser cookies might help (no, the KEYCLOAK_SESSION cookie exists in both scenarios)
I think my use case is really basic and that there should be an easy solution. So I wonder, how others solve this. I would be really thankful for any help.
