Hello, we're wondering if there is there a way to get the identity credentials for a user (logged in) when initialising the self service flows in our frontend app? When the user navigates to the account settings page we would like to check the credentials to view what login methods have been enabled (password and/or social sign in). Or is this only available through the

adminGetIdentity

call and passing in the

id

? We call

initializeSelfServiceSettingsFlowForBrowsers

(or

getSelfServiceSettingsFlow

if we have the flowId) but we can't see the credentials as part of the response.

you need the session cookie or token to get the identity details

Thanks! Do you mean we need to pass in the session cookie or token to the

initializeSelfServiceSettingsFlowForBrowsers

or

getSelfServiceSettingsFlow

call? We get the identity back from the calls but it doesn't include the

credentials

of that identity. The user is logged in so the session cookie is already set.

but

credentials

are what you are passing in to get the identity right?

We're not passing in anything when calling

kratos.initializeSelfServiceSettingsFlowForBrowsers

. But we have set

withCredentials

in the below configuration.

export const kratos = new V0alpha2Api(
  new Configuration({
    basePath: process.env.VUE_APP_ORY_KRATOS_URL || '<http://127.0.0.1:4433/>',
    baseOptions: {
      withCredentials: true,
    },
  }),
);

thats initializing the flow, which doesn't depend on passing the session cookie

Right ok. So is it when we call

toSession

(to see if the user is logged in) we should pass in the session cookie to be able to get the

identity

with the

credentials

included back?

yes

I'm talking about the credentials listing what sign in methods the user has enabled.

oidc

or

password

for example.

can you post your

identity

object?

because the

credentials

are part of the

Identity

interface, although optional. We wanted to check them in our frontend app to see what login methods have been enabled for that user (password and/or social sign in) 🙂 but seems like it might not be possible.

I dob't think its possible to configure the methods per user. It's global config

I think it’s more that the user chooses whether to log in with github or google or email (or all) and it would be good to see which one(s) they have chosen to use.
