Given your comments, I'll modify setup to have (primarily) single cart option.
Should I keep two carts setup? It at least seems as a good QE test case ;-)
Note, I will either have to wait for WF8 Final (due to Hibernate bug in CR1) or
base it on AS7.

I need to go through Stan's work. I want to be able to configure the
subsystem from the keycloak admin console without having to create a
keycloak.json file. I just don't know yet if the subsystem will work on
AS7.
This will work for app and Keycloak being deployed on a single server. It does
not solve SaaS scenario - keycloak admin console can configure subsystem of
current AS/WF only. Keycloak would need to manage subsystem of remote WF - I
doubt this would ever be possible with AS7 on OpenShift and I think security
concerns of such setup are not

This is an UPS issue right? Keycloak WAR bundles is own Resteasy and
excludes built in one.
Well, it is either keycloak packaging issue or documentation issue (or problem
here in Brno in between chair and keyboard). I've added
keycloak-as7-adapter-dist to AS7. Keycloak WAR was added to different
cartridge. So, AS7 (UPS) is still using old RESTEasy 2.x. This will be fixed
if newer RESTEasy is packaged inside of keycloak-as7-adapter-dist instead of
Keycloak WAR. IIRC this was setup pre alpha-1.

JIRA for this one. I've only tested/experimented with CORS on Firefox.

We can't fix this. But it will be mitigated when we add refresh tokens.
We'll have a short token lifespan that needs to be refreshed. The
refresh will pick up the changes.
Sounds good.

Couldn't the cartridge come with a pre-configured keycloak database? We
also have a realm import option, but we haven't documented the json
format yet. Also there's the admin REST interface you could use to
create the realm/application/roles etc.
If I'm able to get public key via admin REST interface, it should be possible
to preconfigure that. Setup will be complicated but possible with
Keycloak subsystem. Having realm import json format documentation will
definitely help here.

This may be able to be done from the keycloak console.
Right, but not in SaaS scenario, only if app and Keycloak run on same instance.
