[keycloak-user] REST -> Backend App

[Bill Burke]

Should work.  You'll have to actually describe what your problem is or I 
can't help you.  I'll take a guess though:

Keycloak doesn't propagate the Authorization bearer token header 
automatically when you have multiple REST "hops" between multiple 
servers  You'll have to obtain the access token and set up the HTTP 
header manually.  The demo customer-portal example in the distro does 
exactly this, so take a look at that for more details.
