[keycloak-user] how to implement SSO among services with Keycloak

[Marek Posolda]

Keycloak can serve this use-case pretty well. Once you authenticate 
application1 with Keycloak, you will receive accessToken for this 
application. This accessToken can then be used to invoke other HTTP 
services (like "application2") and retrieve data from them. You just 
need to send the obtained accessToken in Authorization header in format 
like "Authorization: Bearer your-token".

Also if your application "application2" is used just as "container of 
REST data" for other applications and never accessed directly by user 
from his browser, you can configure at as "bearer-only" in keycloak 
admin console and in keycloak.json of this application.

We have examples exactly for this usecase: "customer-service" uses 
accessToken to invoke bearer-only application "database-service" and 
obtain data from it. See code here:
