So trying to run a little test, I do run into problems

current config:

```auto
adminAuth: {
    type:"strategy",
    strategy: {
        name: "keycloak",
        label: 'Sign in with KeyCloak',
        icon:"fa-key",
        strategy: require("@exlinc/keycloak-passport"),
        options: {
            host: "https://auth.example.com",
            realm: "MyRealm",
            clientID: "node-red",
            clientSecret: "433abd41-c893-48ea-aabb-ca22c8fc290c",
            callbackURL: "https://example.com/auth/strategy/callback",
            authorizationURL: "https://auth.example.com/auth/realms/MyRealm/protocol/openid-connect/auth",
            tokenURL: "https://auth.example.com/auth/realms/MyRealm/protocol/openid-connect/token",
            userInfoURL: "https://auth.example.com/auth/realms/MyRealm/protocol/openid-connect/userinfo"
        },
        verify: function(accessToken, refreshToken, profile, done) {
            done(null, profile);
        }
    },
    users: [
       { username: "me@example.com", permissions: ["*"]}
    ]
},

```

I get a error on the call back `https://example.com/auth/strategy/callback`:

```nohighlight
