yes, the propagation from Jax-rs filter to EJB unfortunately doesn't 
work. You can use the adapter and servlet authentication and in this 
case it should be propagated as described in reference guide - 
http://docs.jboss.org/keycloak/docs/1.1.0.Beta2/userguide/html/ch07.html#jboss-adapter 
. But in another thread you also mention the requirement of "guest" 
authentication (like if Authorization header with bearer token is not 
present, your app will use some kind of guest account instead of sending 
back 401 error). Is it still requirement?

It seems that easiest short-term solution might be to add support for 
guest authentication to our KC adapter. It will be optional feature, 
which will be disabled by default. If it's enabled, it will use some 
predefined guest account and guest roles in case that Authorization 
header is not present. But I am not sure if it's something, which we 
want to support in KC...
