Update token

[Prabjot Ram]

Hi team,

I had a query regarding refreshing and updating an authentication token. I have a microservice backend that receives a keycloak token from the client side, and I'm using keycloak-connect to apply the middleware and protect the calls to this microservice, but I need to update this token, is it possible to get a new token using keycloak-connect? 

I had a look at other suggestions in this group and one user posted this call that we can make:

An HTTP Post to auth/realms/{realmName}/protocol/openid-connect/token

With x-www-form-urlencoded body containing

grant-type=refresh_token

client_id={yourClientId}

refresh_token={your refresh token}

However I'm not passing down to the microservice the refresh_token, I only have the access_token.

Any suggestions on how I can tackle this issue?

Thanks
