Ugh, I forgot to mention you needed to restart in the doco.

Also, if you remember, I was going to add an option in keycloak that 
allowed the admin console to remotely set up this config.  But, on 
second thought, this requires setting up an admin on the wildfly 
instance.  It actually seems easier to just cut and paste from the admin 
console window to standalone.xml and restart the server.  I don't think 
you're going to be securing live systems.

First I forgot to deploy the database services, which caused the exception "Unexpected character ('<' (code 60)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null')". This should have probably been something like "Database services not found". Then I deployed database services, but used the wrong WAR name in the secure-deployment and the error message was the same, but should have been "Unauthorized".

Long standing issue.  I'll fix that.
