#Open another terminal to configure keycloak server to set credentials as well as to run without ssl.
./add-user-keycloak.sh — realm master — user admin — password adminPassword
admin will be the username of the master realm and adminpassword is the password so change accordingly.
./kcadm.sh config credentials — server http://localhost:8189/auth — realm master — user admin
./kcadm.sh update realms/master -s sslRequired=NONE
