Hello dear friends of the community

 

This is the scenario. I have a Liferay 7.4 CE configured to log in with KeyCloak. At this point every thing is fine. I can create a user in KC and it is imported into LR seamlessly.

On the other hand, I am developing a FrontEnd app (Python + Flask) which consumes Liferay's HeadLess API.

I can log-in in the front-end app with KC but if I have never logged this user in Liferay, It has never been imported into LR before from KC. So, even if I log the user in the FrontEnd app against KC, I am not able to get data with the headless API as far as this user has not been imported into LR.

How could I trigger the propagation of the user from KC to LR when I sign-in in the FrontEnd app?

I hoped it would be imported when making the first request to the HeadLess API with the JWT token.

Hi Aritz,

You should have the user authenticate against the portal instead of KC. The import can happen only in this case, I believe. At least without further customization.
