Oidc-client-js: Signin on pageload

[thepill]

I´m not sure about the usage of the userManager functions and how to implement a automatic logon (redirect to OP) on pageload.
In your userManager sample you are taking two (manual) steps:

1. startSigninMainWindow
2. endSigninMainWindow

How do i need to combine this calls and get a "cached" user on pageload if the user is already logged in?

thanks for your advice and work!

You could try to call signin silent on page load and if that fails then redirect the main window (or do a popup).

[thepill]

hm this ends up in an infinite loop.

What the flow looks like:

index.html -> signinSilent -> catch -> signinRedirect -> signinRedirectCallback -> index.html

[brockallen]

Is your callback page a separate html file -- it should be?

[thepill]

yes and i´m doing this:

new Oidc.UserManager({loadUserInfo: false}).signinRedirectCallback().then(function (user) { window.location = "index.html"; });

[brockallen]

But the silent callback page should be different

[thepill]

would be great if you could provide a working SPA example without the need of manual logging in :/
I think i didn´t got the flow of the different functions and callbacks from the documentation..

Best I have now is this: https://github.com/IdentityModel/oidc-client-js/tree/dev/sample/public

Agree with @thepill as I end up with an infinite loop as well. The documentation is unclear and I already look to @brockallen sample...
I'm trying to setting up an app using Angular 1, automatically checking if the user is logged using getUser() and if user not logged, I call signinRedirect.
The thing is, getUser() always return null after the redirection...

All set on this issue? Can we close?
