open id connect implementation with spring boot and angular

we currently have our application written in Angular6 Front end and spring boot Rest with forgerock(opendj,openam) in the backend.
The way current login works today is Client comes to our website enters his/her credentials and then angular frontend request is routed to spring boot backend rest api which then calls forgerock and authenticates the user and responds with encrypted token which is set as cookie on the frontend and every subsequent call from frontend will include this cookie while making requests to spring boot backend apis.



So,now here is the scenario we need to implement

we have decided to move away with forgerock with an identity provider(not OKTA) and we need to redirect our login to this new Identityprovider with redirecturl along with several other parameters and they do the authentication and redirects back to our side with an authorization token(id_token) along with claims user info. If we use OKTA I came to know that we don't need to redirect and we can refresh our DOM with login page but unfortunately we are not allowed to use okta and have to redirect to this new Identity provider. I know that we have to use implicit flow because we have angular on frontend.



Can someone please help on how to implement this scenario? Here is my guess on implementing this please correct me if I'm wrong.



After the Identity provider authenticates the user we send this to our spring boot rest api and then do another HTTP POST to Identity provider to exchange authorization token for an access token and then encrypt this token back to our frontend and set this as cookie and every subsequent call to back end will use this cookie.



I really appreciate if someone can shed some light on this. Thanks!
