1 Features

• Signal receiver which extracts the Keycloak access token from the session and caches it.

• Pre-request hook that adds a custom authentication class to the request kwargs.

• Custom authentication class that performs the token exchange with Keycloak and adds the exchanged token to the Authorization header.

Note

The token exchange has a standard, but Keycloak mentions in its documentation that they “extended it a little, ignored some of it, and loosely interpreted other parts of the specification”.
