[keycloak-user] Accessing authenticated user's details

[Marek Posolda]

If you don't want Keycloak dependencies, you can use 
request.getRemoteUser() or request.getPrincipal().getName() to access 
just the userId of authenticated user. If you use "principal-attribute" 
in keycloak.json, it will return the configured attribute instead of 
userId, so you can receive for example username or email instead. But 
that way, you will be able to access just this single attribute.
