Scheduled update to Flow datasets

[iperdomo]

Context

The current solution to update a Flow dataset is via a manual user action. Click to a button. When this happen, we have a live session in our SSO service (Keycloak) and happens without any related to authenticated requests to the Flow API.

Problem or idea

When/If Lumen supports scheduled updates (every day at midnight) an offline token needs to be generated to perform requests to the Flow API on behalf of the user when she/he is not present.

Solution or next step

• Generate an offline token while the user is logged in and store it in Lumen database.
• Use that offline token to obtain a valid access token and use it in the requests
• Background info and potential solutions can be found at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qSJkJU81xvrpx4p4fle1zBPtKcnvaao9Flp8_eF6pac/edit?usp=sharing

Sample POC of how this could work: tokens.tar.gz

• Requires Keycloak running locally http://localhost:8080
• Requires a client akvo-lumen
  • configured as public
  • Consent required disabled
  • Valid redirect Urls: http://localhost:3000/example and http://localhost:3000/offline
