I have a Keycloak server for SSO. In this server, there may be many users. I need a way to obtain an access token for a specific user (for example, John in the realm ‘test\_realm’) using an admin account from the master realm. I only have the user’s user ID or username and do not have the user’s password. I also use the python-keycloak Python library for communication with the Keycloak server(but it’s not important. If you have a solution for this using cURL, please let me know). How can I do that?
