            The

            is quite large, but contains a complete server (backed by Wildfly)
            that runs out of the box. The only thing you'll have to enable and configure is SSL. Unzipping it, the
            directory layout looks

            future provide directions on how to install it on another web container like Tomcat or Jetty. If anybody

        <title>Configuring the Server</title>
        <para>
            Although the Keycloak Server is designed to run out of the box, there's some things you'll need
            to configure before you go into production.  Specifically:
            <itemizedlist>

                    Configuring keycloak to use a production database.

            <title>Database Configuration</title>
            <para>
                The datasource used to store Keycloak data is configured in the <literal>.../standalone/deployments/keycloak-ds.xml</literal>
                file of your Keycloak Server installation.  A good thing to delete this file and move its configuration text into the
                centrally managed <literal>.../standalone/configuration/standalone.xml</literal> file.  This will allow
                you to manage the database connection pool from the Wildfly/JBoss adminstration console.  Here's what
                <literal>.../standalone/configuration/standalone.xml</literal> should look like after you've done this:

                    In order to allow HTTPS connections, you need to obtain a self signed or third-party signed certificate
                    and import it into a Java keystore before you can enable HTTPS in the web container you are deploying
                    the Keycloak Server to.

                        In development, you will probably not have a third party signed certificate available to test
                        a Keycloak deployment so you'll need to generate a self-signed on.  Generate one is very easy
                        to do with the <literal>keytool</literal> utility that comes with the Java jdk.

                <para>
                    Servlet containers can force browsers and other HTTP clients to use HTTPS.  You have to configure this in
                    <literal>.../standalone/deployments/auth-server.war/WEB-INF/web.xml</literal>.  All you have to do is
                    uncomment out the security constraint.

                <para>
                    In Keycloak, each realm has an "Require SSL" switch that you should turn on.  Log into the
                    adminstration console and set this switch for each realm that Keycloak manages.  This switch is on
                    the <literal>Settings>>General</literal> page.  While this switch does do similar checks as the security
                    constraint in <literal>web.xml</literal>, it will also force applications and oauth clients to only
                    register HTTPS based redirect URLs.
