Answering Stian's and Marek's email at the same time.
Just FYI - I've created a ticket to track this work -
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/KEYCLOAK-7940

IMO Creating keystore files programatically as Peter suggested,
looks
better than creating them through maven-antrun-plugin. It seems that
creating with maven will mean lots of the stuff in pom.xml files,
however generating programatically will probably allow some better
reusability (common utility class in the testsuite to easily generate
keystore in various locations). Also programatic generation will work
when running the test from Intellij Idea without previous maven build.
Perhaps I didn't make it clear enough - the JKS autogeneration script will
mostly be executed in our test suite. I've just checked if you can run any
of the tests with a clean repo (without invoking `mvn package` or `mvn
install`) and it failed with [1]. So it seems you always need to execute
Maven prior to invoking any tests from the IDE (at least from the
Arquillian testsuite).
The programmable approach Peter suggested looks very nice. However, I'm not
sure if this is a good fit for us since we modify app servers during the
build [2]. Those servers expect a keystore (and sometimes a truststore too)
to be in certain places upon the server bootstrap. When the Arquillian
testsuite if fired, it's simply to late to generate keystores on the fly.

Sebastian, yesterday I didn't mention on the call that we
probably don't
test X509 authentication with IBM JDK. I recalled it just now :) The
thing is, that X509 tests are not executed during default build as they
require Wildfly (they don't work on embedded undertow) and also
phantomJS (no other browser is supported). So I am pretty sure they are
not executed during the various matrix jobs for various java versions
(Vasek Muzikar can correct me if I am wrong). Which means they probably
don't work on IBM JDK too.
In Infinispan we had exactly the same problem. Keystores generated by
OpenJDK (or Oracle JDK) didn't work for IBM JDK. Therefore we added this
[3] little trick.

I think I've solved the worst case - in some of the scenarios (like
`DemoServletsAdapterTest#testOIDCUiLocalesParamForwarding`) we expect the
certificate in keystore to be the same as the one from the realm JSON
configuration. I might be wrong here (I'm still the "new guy") but the
reason for this is that keystore.jks is used by the adapter whereas the
auth server uses the certificate from json file. Those need to match.
Therefore, I had to add a small piece of the code that does automatic
replacement of PEM certificates in the configuration [4]. I could probably
use some latest syntactic sugar (Optional#flatmap and Streams) but I think
the old way is more readable in this case (but of course, comments are more
than welcome, especially on the PR).

So not sure I see a need to start a bulk refactoring here.
Even though it might seem like a redundant thing to do, I would still
prefer to replace all existing JKS entries. The main reason for this is
that I'm a bit afraid that we'll end with a mixture of pushed JKS files and
automatically generated ones.
Let's make a deal. I'll look more into this today and will see how many of
those I'll manage to replace. Maybe it won't be that bad after all...
