[keycloak-user] LiveOak integration with Keycloak

[Stian Thorgersen]

To make LiveOak as easy as possible to use we wanted it to work out of the box, so we include a ready bootstrapped Keycloak.

It's quite easy to remove the bootstrap Keycloak server and use your own. Marek is going to upgrade Keycloak in LiveOak soon and he'll add some documentation on how to use an external Keycloak server.
