In this lab, we use the open community or free-software <a href="https://github.com/cuongntr/kong-openid-connect-plugin" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><code>cuongntr/kong-openid-connect-plugin</code></a> adapter on top of <a href="https://github.com/zmartzone/lua-resty-openidc" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><code>lua-resty-openidc</code></a> to complete an Authorization Code flow without a license.</p> <p>We will deploy a separate Keycloak instance in Kubernetes, log in with a real user, and verify both the callback and cookie reuse. Every response in this article comes from the lab VM.</p> <div class="alert info"> <span><i data-feather="info"></i></span> <span><strong><p>This lab continues from <a href="https://www.javiercd.es/posts/kong/03-instalacion-kic/03-instalacion-kic/">Installing KIC</a>.
