Description
The MTA Web distribution relies upon the keycloak overlay component as a vehicle for creating a distribution that can run on a single server instance.
https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_installation/#installing-the-keycloak-server
The keycloak documentation does NOT reflect the fact that the keycloak-overlay has been removed.
If we were to continue to use 15.1.1 of Keycloak then we would have to continue to use the associated version of Wildfly.
For security reasons we must be able to publish the Web UI with the latest version of the required dependencies. So each release of WINDUP upstream should adopt the latest version of Wildfly and downstream the latest GA version of EAP.
So an existing constraint is that we must use the version of Wildfly upstream that is closest to (and compatible with) the version EAP downstream.
We have to decide whether we want to continue to conform to this convention, or perhaps consider using Wildfly downstream too or continue to use EAP downstream with backports (i.e. managing different branches based upon which Application Server is used).
So we need alternative deployment model.
We could have a default distribution of the Web UI that has authentication switched off. Effectively an anonymous user interaction.
Then provide a script that allows authentication to be enabled, perhaps spinning up an instance of Keycloak in a container or as a standalone process.
