[keycloak-dev] add-user.sh overwrites wildfly one

[Marek Posolda]

That's the question...

For server distribution, we also have our stuff ( keycloak subsystem, 
datasource, infinispan etc) directly declared in "standalone.xml". On 
the other hand, for overlay distribution, we don't want to directly 
update default "standalone.xml", so we are adding our own 
"standalone-keycloak.xml". Isn't it quite similar thing?

We can do the same for overlay and server distribution, so never edit 
default wildfly files ( standalone.xml , add-user.sh), but always use 
our own versions with "-keycloak" suffix. Advantage is more consistent. 
However people will need to always start keycloak server with 
"./standalone.sh -c standalone-keycloak.xml" then. Doesn't it sucks from 
the usability perspective?

I honestly don't know what's the best way regarding usability. AFAIK 
this was decided on mailing lists couple of months ago, but don't 
remember the exact threads...:/
