[keycloak-user] Not being prompted for x509 User Certs on KeyCloak version 4.8.3.Final

I'll look into it. I'm sure it's something simple, but it's just not
clicking. As of now I'm only testing my CAC and so there is a Root CA along
with an intermediate CA which I have loaded into Keycloak.
This is the steps I used:

keytool -import -alias ROOT-CA -keystore keystore.jks -file Root-CA.cer

keytool -import -alias EMAIL-CA-INTERMEDIATE-1 -keystore keystore.jks -file
Email-CA-1.cer

...

Just for clarity and sanity check, with our current IdP, we only need to
load the public certs (Root/Intermediate) and as long as they are loaded,
any user certificate that is presented would be trusted if the chain is
loaded for that user certificate. We do not have access to the private keys
for the certificates loaded to the keystore.jks - I just want to make sure
that's not the issue.


At this point in time, I'd love to see ERROR in the server.log file, but I
just get INFO.

tail -f /opt/keycloak/standalone/log/server.log | grep -E "WARN|ERROR"

The output of the above command has no output.


This is some of the output:

Here is the output of keystore.jks

Sows the Root CA and the Intermediate CA (CA-1)
