-# [DEPRECATED] Keycloak WildFly bootable jar example
-
-WARNING: This example doesn't work with WF 27. Caused by missing JBoss module org.picketbox.
-
-The example `../elytron-oidc-client` highlight the supported way to secure a deployment using OpenID Connect (OIDC).
-
-Usage of the Keycloak Galleon feature-pack highlighted in this example is deprecated.
-
-Build a bootable JAR containing an application secured with Keycloak.
-In order to enable keycloak, you must use the Galleon layer `keycloak-client-oidc` that brings in the 
-OIDC keycloak subsystem. This subsystem is required for WildFly to secure deployments using keycloak.
-
-In order to declare the deployment to be secured with keycloak, the CLI script `../scripts/configure-oidc.cli` is called during packaging.
-
-Initial Steps
-=======
-
-* Download the keycloak server from: `https://www.keycloak.org/download`
-* Start the keycloak server to listen on port 8090: `keycloak/bin/standalone.sh -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=10`
-* Log into the keycloak server admin console (you will possibly be asked to create an initial admin user) : `http://127.0.0.1:8090/`
-* Create a Realm named `WildFly`
-* Create a Role named `Users`
-* Create a User named `demo`, password `demo`
-* Assign the role `Users` to the user `demo`
-* Create a Client named `simple-webapp` with Root URL: `http://127.0.0.1:8080/simple-webapp`
-
-Build and run
-========
-
-* To build: `mvn package`
-* To run: `mvn wildfly-jar:run`
-* Access the application: `http://127.0.0.1:8080/simple-webapp`
-* Access the secured servlet.
-* Log-in using the `demo` user, `demo` password (that you created in the initial steps).
-* You should see a page containing the Principal ID.
