[keycloak-dev] Certificate on realm

[Stian Thorgersen]

Doh! I get it now, the certificate is created from the realms key-pair. Keycloak signs with private key, client checks with certificate.

BTW we're currently exposing the realm private key and the new code secret through the admin rest endpoints. This isn't really a good thing is it?
