Yes, I would probably go with the second approach . You can implement 
your own UserFederationProvider and point it to your database: 
http://docs.jboss.org/keycloak/docs/1.1.0.Beta2/userguide/html/user_federation.html 
. Then you can import your users either "on demand" (at the point they 
authenticate or someone search for them from keycloak admin console) or 
sync them all at once.
