Bill,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes it works when I have to call REST to another REST service and any number of hops. The problem is calling a full  fledged application from a REST service that I have the issue. When it is an application that is both Web App + REST and I add the authorization header (bearer) I get an unauthorized 401 (blackbox in the attachment).

Thanks
Sam

Should work.  You'll have to actually describe what your problem is or I
can't help you.  I'll take a guess though:

Keycloak doesn't propagate the Authorization bearer token header
automatically when you have multiple REST "hops" between multiple
servers  You'll have to obtain the access token and set up the HTTP
header manually.  The demo customer-portal example in the distro does
exactly this, so take a look at that for more details.
