[keycloak-user] Managing user from my java backend

[Simon Payne]

For this i would probably have 3 things.

1 users configured in keycloak either through LDAP or local accounts
2 a client for the back end configured as bearer only (if it's a simple
REST service).  This will not challenge for authentication, only return
401s, 403s
3 a public client for the front end to manage the auth flows and redirect
to keycloak for authentication and log in as the user. read up on
javascript adaptor for this.  Pass the token returned to the front end
client to the back end REST service in the headers as Basic Auth.

Simon.
