And here the problems begin.

Sure, just using it as OmniAuth provider works.  But this only provides
authentication.

But, as Sam correctly mentioned, as all others ignored it: we need
user life cytle.  And just using OmniAith does not provide any life
cycle control.

You are opting in to maintain three monsters:
- Java
- Wildfly
- Keycloak

No, Keycloak is running as OIDC server in this case, so it _provides_
all the settings via the metadata discovery mechanism.

It's just that the existence of most of those options negates the
possibility to allow a random user to use it safely.

Just random bugs.

- Enable "email as username"
- Try to add a user by admin interface

The latest installation doc is pretty specific:
