> 4. App changes the keycloak.json/ups-realm.json file based on the URL

> Second time

> 1. Visit https://myups-abstractj.rhcloud.com/ag-push
> 2. The application check if some configuration already exists (default

Is it only the auth-server url you're changing? keycloak.json supports system properties so you can use for example { "auth-server" : "${keycloak.url}" }. If you do that you don't have to rewrite the file at all.
