Overview

This project involves an automated workflow for handling authentication and token management for a given API service.

Workflow Description

The main goal of this workflow is to prepare a secure connection to the API service and display the authentication token details. The token is necessary for making authorized API calls to a protected service.

Single Sign-On (SSO) Authentication: The workflow first initiates SSO authentication using the azerion-connect/form-browser-auth function call. This allows the user to authenticate themselves through their Keycloak credentials.
Get Atom API: Next, the atom/get-atom-api function is called to retrieve the Atom API. This API is crucial for subsequent operations within the workflow.
Set Token to API: Once the Atom API is retrieved, the sys/call function is invoked to set the retrieved Keycloak token to the Atom API. This token allows for authorized communication with the API service.

After these initial preparation steps, the workflow progresses to display the parsed token and the raw token.

Show Token Parsed: The parsed Keycloak token is displayed using the form/json-view form. This provides a structured view of the information within the token.
Show Token: Finally, the raw Keycloak token is displayed in a read-only text field with the form/text form. This display of the token also provides a copy functionality, allowing the user to easily copy the token for future use.

By providing a secure and automated mechanism for handling authentication and token display, this workflow streamlines the process of preparing for secure API calls, saving time and reducing potential errors.

Note: This workflow assumes that all the necessary parameters for the authentication process and the Atom API retrieval are provided.
