[keycloak-user] Authentication API

[Jason B]

Hi Bill,

We are handling user registration completely external to keycloak due to
business processes and for this we can't use Keycloak REST APIs.

Once user completes registration, user will receive a activation link and
when user clicks on activation link user will be redirected to activation
service which is external to keycloak. By this time we won't have user
credentials to use direct grant access but we will have username only.

So I am thinking of building a rest web service for this but not sure how
to create session for a given user programmatically.

Thanks!
