I think it would be awesome if the keycloak bits would be included into the
UPS bits, to have something OOTB, instead of pointing to a different server
(CORS)

the public-key needs to be, as far as I can see, included inside of the
standalone.xml (keycloak subsystem section).
Which is somewhat a similar issue; I think, if I get it right, that means
as you plan to support more and more 'realms', you keep editing the
standalone xml.

hmmmmm .... sounds 'good' :-)

https is enforced on our UPS cartridge
