[wildfly-dev] How to set an authorized identity to EltyronSecurity Context

Just to understand. I saw the SecurityIdentiy will be called by 
KeycloakHttpServerAuthenticationMechanism, and this will finally trigger
the KeycloakSecurityRealm to create identity.   To make this all work, 
we need to
configure KeycloakSecurityRealm and 
KeycloakHttpServerAuthenticationMechanism under Elytron subsystem, right?
