Angular-auth-oidc-client: How to refresh auth state in main window after popup authorization

[cam92yz]

I want to use popup authorization and use following steps:

1. Open popup with authorizeWithPopUp()
2. Close popup window in callback and send event to the main Window
3. Problem: The token on the main Window is not refreshed. (It works with reaload but i don't want to do that because i don't want to loose the state of the window)

According to "https://github.com/damienbod/angular-auth-oidc-client/issues/212" there was a method "authorizedCallback(theHash)" that handled this problem. This method was renamed to "authorizedImplicitFlowCallback" and was later deleted.

I use the version "11.3.0". How can i refresh the state without reloading?

Anyone an idea? Have to solve that problem in our application.

@FabianGosebrink I think we should add a popup example to the repo.

Popup code flow with PKCE

good?

Hey, can we build that into the code flow sample we already have and then document it? Like with another button for the pop-up?

[damienbod]

I would prefer a separate example so that it's crystal clear. I would be afraid people might get confused if we mix two different examples together. good?

@damienbod @FabianGosebrink
whats the actual state? We would be happy to have an working sample with a popup codeflow too.

We are currently working on the next release and after this, this issue is one of the things we tackle next. We are accepting PRs by the way :-) We will let you know if we made code changes. @damienbod another sample is good for me. but maybe only a part of the issue. We have to make sure that what @otrebor-bni said: The token on the main Window is not refreshed. So two tasks here:

1) Creating the sample
2) Maybe the fix for the original issue (I did not check it so far)

Thanks.
