hostname v2 offers backchannel request. While I was able to configure my instance to be functional with both frontend and backchannel requests, I still cannot really grasp the definition of a "backchannel" request of the documentation. While I can define a hostname for a front end request, I cannot do that for a backchannel request. I merely can set it to dynamic, which of the functionality is not clearly defined in the documentation. What is a backchannel request? I explain to myself that these are requests coming from localhost. Is that correct? |

Unlike admin requests there isn't an identifiying characteristic in the URL for back channel requests. The doc page explains "Examples of the endpoints that belong to this group are the authorization endpoint, token and token introspection endpoint, userinfo endpoint, JWKS URI endpoint, etc." In a typical setup utilizing Keycloak these are requests that are useful from your client application server side or backend, rather than being initiated directly from the client side. The requests do not have to be made over localhost. |
