[keycloak-user] Not able to set credentials for a user while creating a user through my own Rest API

[Stian Thorgersen]

We'll never expose user credentials over the rest endpoints. We don't even
know them as they are hashed.

Instead of sending a temporary password you should send the user a reset
password link. That's a special code that let's the user set the password.
