[aerogear-dev] Dealing with UPS Keycloak data post-datasource-split

Hi,

a few questions:
- are we all still OK w/ going w/ 1.2.0 for our own 1.1.0 release?
- are we all still OK to keep KC data in a separate schema?


Now, a migration specific question: coming from UPS 1.0.3 to 1.1.0. _and_
going w/ a separate KC schema means:

* this equal to a new/fresh install of the Keycloak server
* the admin would be back to the default password
* we can remove the KC tables from our own schema

Now, before just removing the KC tables, I wonder why we can not just 'raw
copy' them to a different schema and have the KC build-in migration handle
its data?

If that's really not possible, ok. I am fine than with not having a proper
KC migration story, when coming from 1.0.3 to 1.1.0 (yes, it will be
documented)...
I also noticed  that Keycloak does not support user export/import atm.

Moving forward, the next logical steps are an even stronger isolation (yes,
we know that since a while)!

Best would be that we no longer need to distribute our own custom
auth-server.war file. A few thoughts around that are captured in [1]. But
that's something we won't be doing for 1.1.0 time frame of UPS.
