func Login ¶ added in v0.0.7

func Login(loginUrl string, targetHost string, targetPort int) (string, error)

Login() initiates the process to retrieve an access token from an identity provider. This function is especially designed to work by OPAAL, but will propably be changed in the future to be more agnostic.

The 'targetHost' and 'targetPort' parameters should point to the target host/port to create a temporary server to receive the access token. If an empty 'targetHost' or an invalid port range is passed, then neither of the parameters will be used and no server will be started.

Returns an access token as a string if successful and nil error. Otherwise, returns an empty string with an error set.
