This can be achieved using the kc\_idp\_hint parameter inside the configured URL within your client application, for example :

```auto
https://keycloak/auth?client_id=<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>&redirect_uri=<THE_REDIRECT_URI>&response_type=code&scope=openid&kc_idp_hint=<the_name_that_you_give_to_the_idp>

```

This will automatically redirect the user to the external provider.

Having browser based authentication and redirects is a key feature of OAuth2 and OIDC in terms of secure authentication, there are reasons for this.  
“but I want” and “but I need” are none of these reasons.

By “browser” you mean the current page of your app ? you can manage the OAuth flow inside a **popup**. The redirection will still happen but in a spawned popup that, before dissolving will pass the `access_token` or `Cookie` back to main tab (depending how you manage session within your app). As explained before, the `kc_idp_hint` will avoid displaying the list of external identity providers, and redirect the user directly to the external social provider.
