API "Authenticate or refresh user" - Working for all user account types, not only for internal user accounts
API "Authenticate or refresh user" - Working for all user account types, not only for internal user accounts
Now the "Authenticate or refresh user" works only for internal users where Alma is the identity provider.
It would make things a lot easier in many applications around alma if it would also work for external user.
Like:
Internal user -> no change
External user ->
* Take the ID in the URL als ID in the external IDM and the passwort like in case of internal user.
* Check ID and password against the external IDM, just as in case of login in Alma for external user.

It would be even much better, if in case of external users the API would have an answer / service result in case of an successfull authentication that includes the primary ID of that user account in Alma. So that external scripts can go dealing with that user account via the user APIs.
