[keycloak-user] Severe bug in KC adapter - returns blank 200 when SSL is not used with external setting

[Amaeztu]

As far as I can see you're configuring SSL in top of your nginx proxy (user can only access keycloak via this proxy).

Your internal calls (from proxy to keycloak) aren't meant to be in SSL, so why you should bother of keycloak requiring it?
