Usage
import { setupExternalAuthentication } from '@owlmeans/client-auth'
setupExternalAuthentication(AUTH_WEB)
Product-Viable Usage Notes
- The manager web app imports
DEFAULT_ALIAS from @owlmeans/client-auth as the client-side equivalent of DEFAULT_GUARD.
- It imports
@owlmeans/web-oidc-rp/auth/plugins for side effects; that registers OIDC and Google authentication plugins in the client auth manager.
- During Google/OIDC redirects, plugins persist the client auth control state, restore it on return, then submit
AuthCredentials to the server auth flow.
- The browser receives and stores a normal OwlMeans bearer token. Product authorization remains server-side through module gates and handler checks, not through client-only state.
