[keycloak-user] Migrating Users Database

[Rodrigo Sasaki]

I am very interested in importing the whole database. It seems to be the
cleanest way to do what we want to do here, and migrate to keycloak
completely.

Are there any guidelines on how to do this? Nonetheless I will look into
the SPI you mentioned, might come in handy sometime.
