Sounds like this could be a time-consuming task and the tests are working
at the moment. So not sure I see a need to start a bulk refactoring here.
The json file you're mentioning has a cert in pem format in the json file
that is then stored in the DB. This doesn't have anything to do with
keystores/truststores. We expect Keycloak to be able to handle a cert
provided in the json file (or through admin endpoints) and store it in the
DB.
Now for SSL tests with the server itself I can see the value in what you
are proposing. Keystore/truststore for Keycloak https connections and
truststores for mutual SSL could probably be improved. However, it seems to
be working at the moment, so not sure this is required.

Thanks Darran and Peter for the insight!
I've just noticed that generating JKS files is one thing but we will also
need to pre-process RealmRepresentation and replace all private/public keys
(like this one for example [1]) with values from keystores/truststores.
At the moment I'm thinking about replacing [1] with something like this:
"jwt.credential.certificate" :
"certificate:keystore=classpath:keystore.jks,password=password,alias=secure-portal,type=pkcs12"
similarly to private keys (if needed):
"privateKey" :
"private-key:keystore=classpath:keystore.jks,password=password,alias=secure-portal,type=pkcs12"
Later on, while converting JSON to RealmRepresentation I plan to traverse
all nodes and replace replace those which start with private-key or
certificate.
Let me know if you have a better idea.
