Description

I used example.go as a base, the program authenticates, but after that it doesn't save a session, I think it doesn't make a request to the token endpoint.

What happens is I only get to see the user info (see the HTML template below) if I render the page from withing the /signin handler. If I get out of that page or redirect, the data is lost and I get an error that says the session couldn't be found.

Research direction

Start with example.go and the /signin handler, reproducing the AzureADv2 flow through the redirect. Trace whether the token endpoint request and session persistence occur after authentication, using the reported session-not-found error as the checkpoint. Done means the client_id token request is made and user information remains available after leaving /signin.
