Allow for all auth flow to happen in the Electron app

[jmallach]

Hi! Currently, using Electron to create rooms is cumbersome because the auth flow happens in the browser, but at least in my deployment, once the authentication is complete, nothing happens in the Electron app, simply the Jitsi conference happens in the browser window that was opened for the authentication.

Is it possible to allow that whatever URL is configured for the server and is rendered in the "Log In" button is allowed to be rendered as an internal link? Possibly this is somewhat related. https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/window-open.

Or am I doing something wrong, and after a successful authentication in an external browser, the flow should return to the Electron app?

I'm using the electron app from flathub, which runs in a sandbox.

Possibly related: #900

How did you configure authentication?

Sorry @saghul, I never saw your reply. Our docker-based setup integrates an OpenID auth flow using https://github.com/MarcelCoding/jitsi-openid and image: thomseddon/traefik-forward-auth:2 for Traefik integration.

So basically, AUTH_TYPE=jwt, jitsi-openid and Keycloak as IDP. The auth url is auth.company.com, and TOKEN_AUTH_URL is https://auth.meetings.example.com/room/{room}.
