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

[Stian Thorgersen]

Welcome mail is not probably covering your use-case. AFAIK that issue is
more about a "hello welcome aboard" rather than a activate your account
mail. You can add a comment to the issue to be able to send a welcome mail
with the ability to initialize the password.
